>>22270412- There's the whole modern times theme instead of fantasy/medieval RPG.
- 8 melodies-8 badges.
- HGSS Blue is dressed similarly to the Masked Man, but that's probably a coincidence.
- Grimer/Muk = Master Belch
- Deoxys looks a bit like E.V.E.
- Absent father except for RSE/ORAS.
- Asshole rival always a step ahead of you like Pokey (that's mainly for RBY and to a lesser extent GSC)
- Eerie towns (Youngtown/Lavender)
- Large industrial buildings overrun by dangerous foes (Merrysville Factories/Power Plant)
- Police blocking roads to other towns (Podunk exits/Saffron City)
- Rocks blocking a path that need to be destroyed (rocks on Merrysville railroad/rocks requiring Rock Smash)
- Having to trek through a wilderness exhibit-type place to get to some kind of management office (Podunk Zoo building/Safari Zone Warden’s office)
- Red's default name was NINTEN in RBY if you skip the naming scene by hacking.
- Red had similar clothing to Ness and Ninten.
