* The tagline on the main page for the series on [[Wiki/TVTropes This Very Wiki]] is a slightly modified version of the one used for the stories in ''[[VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestivalAllStars SIF ALL STARS]]''.

* Similar to ''SIF ALL STARS'', ''PokéLive!'' takes place in a universe where Muse, Aqours and Perfect Dream Project are all School Idol groups in the same time frame. The ''[=SwSh=] Superstar!!'' stories also add the Liella! girls (And [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Gloria]]) to the mix as well.

* Despite the series being an adaptation of the ''Pokémon'' games, the series isn't above referencing the main ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' anime as well:

** Certain characters have used the phrase "Beyond Evolution, Mega Evolve!" which is from the ''X and Y'' episodes of the anime, though Brendan and May also used the phrase in the ''Anime/PokemonOmegaRubyAndPokemonAlphaSapphireAnimatedTrailer''.

* Yuu has the same design as her counterpart from the Nijigasaki LL! anime.

Due to ''PokéLive!'' being an adaptation of the main ''{{Franchise/Pokemon}}'' games, the ''Franchise/LoveLive'' franchise, the ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial'' games and the ''{{VideoGame/Twinbee}}'' games, especially the [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Unova-based]] [[VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2 games]], ''[[VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestival School Idol Festival]]'' and it's ''[[VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestivalAllStars ALL STARS]]'' sequel and the Kirameki and Hibikino Sagas of ''[=TokiMemo=]'', there's bound to be various references to/adaptations of various events from all across the franchises involved in the crossover.
