1	* As in the original Generation 1 games, Leaf is playing a game on the Platform/SuperNES at the start.
2	* The battle Leaf watches at the start is initially between Gengar and Nidorino, as depicted in Japanese Red & Green and International Red, and later between Gengar and Jigglypuff, as depicted in the Blue Version.
3	* It would seem the Jigglypuff seen in "[[Recap/PokemonS1E45TheSongOfJigglypuff The Song of Jigglypuff]]" isn't the only one that puffs up in anger and draws on everyone's faces after people fall asleep during its song; the one that fights Gengar in Nidorino's place also does it.
4	* As noted in "[[Recap/PokemonS6E25AMudkipMission A Mudkip Mission]]", there's a special breeding ground for the standard Starters found in the game.
5	* Several incidents from Pokémon Yellow, including a wild Pokémon jumping Red and Professor Oak before being caught by Oak and the old man failing in his initial attempt to catch a Pokémon, are shown, except here the circumstances are different (e.g. the Pokémon that jumped Red and Oak is a Clefairy instead of a Pikachu, and just like in the Red/Green/Blue versions the old man encounters a Weedle, though as a further nod to Yellow he is revealed during the second attempt to have a Rattata).
6	* Leaf's travel outfit is the same as that of the prototypical female character from Generation 1.
7	* Like Ash in the [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries anime]], Leaf arrives too late to select one of the regular starters and has to settle for a different Pokémon (in Leaf's case, a Clefairy).
8	* The fact that Leaf got a Clefairy in the first place references how it, and not Pikachu, was originally supposed to be Ash's starter in the anime.
9	* Even before Brock himself is introduced, Oak mentions that he had met his father Flint once, some years before Brock himself was born.
10	* Leaf dragging her Clefairy by a leash hearkens back to how Ash did the same to Pikachu at the same point in his own Pokémon journey.
11	* As does Professor Oak in Fire Red/Leaf Green, Red teaches Leaf the basics of a Pokémon battle.
12	* The Nurse Joy in Viridian City is shown to be a hobbyist, sort of like her anime counterpart.
13	* [[Recap/PokemonS1E9TheSchoolOfHardKnocks Pokémon Tech]] is brought up by Nurse Joy as the school where she got her nursing degree and minored in technology.
14	* Both here and in the anime episode "[[Recap/PokemonS1E2PokemonEmergency Pokémon Emergency]]", it's shown a Pokédex can be used as identification.
15	* Pokémon Centers in this continuity have [[Recap/PokemonS1E20GhostOfMaidensPeak a curfew]], too.
16	* The Viridian Pokémon Center bears a great resemblance to its anime counterpart.
17	* Leaf meets a Youngster who happens to be [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Joey]]'s older cousin in the Viridian Pokémon Center. Unsurprisingly, Johto gets its first reference in this series during that scene, and a city in the region, Cherrygrove, gets brought up.
18	* Blue's Pidgey failing to hit Leaf's Rattata with Gust is a result of the 1/256 Miss Glitch, which can cause moves with 100% accuracy to miss on occasion in the G1 games.
19	* As in Anime/PokemonOrigins, Brock has an EarlyBirdCameo before he's revealed to be Pewter City's gym leader. Bonus points for it serving a similar purpose here.
20	* Pikachu's cheeks turning gold before she unleashes a [=ThunderShock=] is a reference to some early art that depicts the Pokémon's cheeks in that color.
21	* The Pokémon Inspection Agency is brought up a few times early on and is said to be the reason why Viridian Gym is closed.
22	* As in the anime sometimes Leaf's Pokémon will come out of their Poké Balls without being summoned.
23	* Considering how fast Leaf's capturing her Pokémon, the Pokémon Storage System was bound to come up sooner or later.
24	* The incident where Ash failed to catch a Weedle is brought up when a ''Caterpie'' flees a fight with Leaf's Spearow while he and Pikachu are arguing.
25	* Another incident from "[[Recap/PokemonS1E4ChallengeOfTheSamurai Challenge of the Samurai]]" is alluded to when Leaf refuses to pit her Kakuna against Doug's.
26	* Bug Catcher Rick is described as wearing the original Bug Catcher costume, from the Kanto and Johto regions.
27	* Once again, there's plenty of Joy to go around.
28	* The space shuttle in the Pewter Museum of Science which is just a few times as big as the protagonist is explained here as being a scale replica thereof, and it's explicitly mentioned to be a replica of the ''Columbia''.
29	* As in Generation 5, the gym guide's name is given as Clyde.
30	* [[Anime/PokemonOrigins Once again]], there's a Lass in Pewter Gym.
31	* Both Brock's anime travel outfit from the Kanto and Johto regions and [[ShirtlessScene his Generation 1 outfit]] are referenced; he wears the former when out in public, and the latter when inside of his gym.
32	* Pikachu being able to hit a Ground-type is explained similarly to in the anime in that the stronger the Electric-type is, the likelier her Ground-type opponent will feel it.
33	* A popular strategy among Charmander-users is referenced when Leaf tells Red how to fight Brock's Pokémon with his Charmander--specifically, one that utilizes both Ember and a non-damaging move.
34	* As in Fire Red/Leaf Green, Brock digs for fossils on Mt. Moon sometimes.
35	* Team Rocket's bosozoku influence is expanded upon, to the point of its grunts using such weapons as metal pipes and Molotov cocktails.
36	* Thunderbolt is described as containing 100,000 volts of electricity--a reference to its original Japanese name, 100,000 Volts.
37	* The Goldeen dress worn by Lily during her magic show in "Making a Splash" and later by Leaf during her Gym battle against Misty is the same one that infamously appeared in "[[Recap/PokemonS1E43TheMarchOfTheExeggutorSquad The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]".
38	* Like [[Recap/PokemonS1E1PokemonIChooseYou Ash's Pikachu]], Leaf's Pikachu doesn't like being called "cute" and will zap anyone who makes that mistake.
39	* Misty's challenge to the plainclothes Rocket in chapter 11 goes pretty much like [[Recap/PokemonS1E2PokemonEmergency her first meeting with Jessie and James in the anime]].
40	* Sabrina's surname being D'Avalon is a reference to her French name Morgane, which is derived from a morally ambiguous Arthurian character who appears in ''Literature/LeMorteDArthur''.
41	* In an early second season chapter, Leaf directly quotes a line spoken by Misty in the [=4Kids=] dub of "[[Recap/PokemonS1E7TheWaterflowersOfCeruleanCity The Waterflowers of Cerulean City]]", even acknowledging that Misty said it.
