* 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]]".
* Like [[Recap/PokemonS1E1PokemonIChooseYou Ash's Pikachu]], Leaf's Pikachu doesn't like being called "cute" and will zap anyone who makes that mistake.

* 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.
* As noted in [[Recap/PokemonS6E25AMudkipMission "A Mudkip Mission"]], there's a special breeding ground for the standard Starters found in the game.

* The Pokémon Inspection Agency is brought up a few times early on and is said to be the reason why Viridian Gym is closed.
* As in the anime sometimes Leaf's Pokémon will come out of their Poké Balls without being summoned.
* Considering how fast Leaf's capturing her Pokémon, the Pokémon Storage System was bound to come up sooner or later.
* 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.
* Another incident from "[[Recap/PokemonS1E4ChallengeOfTheSamurai Challenge of the Samurai]]" is alluded to when Leaf refuses to pit her Kakuna against Doug's.

Added DiffLines:

* As in the original Generation 1 games, Leaf is playing a game on the UsefulNotes/SuperNES at the start.
* 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.
* 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.
* As noted in [[Recap/PokemonS6E25AMudkipMission "A Mudkip Mission"]], there's a special breeding ground for the standard Starters found in the game.
* 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).
* Leaf's travel outfit is the same as that of the prototypical female character from Generation 1.
* Like Ash in the [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} 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).
* 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.
* Even before Brock himself is introduced, Oak mentions that he had met his father Flint once, some years before Brock himself was born.
* 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.
* As does Professor Oak in Fire Red/Leaf Green, Red teaches Leaf the basics of a Pokémon battle.
* The Nurse Joy in Viridian City is shown to be a hobbyist, sort of like her anime counterpart.
* [[Recap/PokemonS1E9TheSchoolOfHardKnocks Pokémon Tech]] is brought up by Nurse Joy as the school where she got her nursing degree and minored in technology.
* Both here and in the anime episode [[Recap/PokemonS1E2PokemonEmergency "Pokémon Emergency"]], it's shown a Pokédex can be used as identification.
* Pokémon Centers in this continuity have [[Recap/PokemonS1E20TheGhostOfMaidensPeak a curfew]], too.
* The Viridian Pokémon Center bears a great resemblance to its anime counterpart.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
