Pokemon is one of the most known video games, and sometimes other games have Pokemon references. The first one is in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The Keaton mask resembles Pikachu, and when you wear it and go to Princess Zelda in the German version, she will say, in German, “What are you? Oh, you’re one of those cute little pocket monsters, aren’t you?” Pokemon is short for pocket monster.
The next one is in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year-Door. One of the towns is named Petalburg, and Petalburg was named after a town in Pokemon. Both Ruby and Sapphire and Paper Mario: The Thousand- Year Door came out 2 years after Pokemon Sapphire and Ruby.
This last one on this list is in Splatoon. In one of the splatfest, they were celebrating the 20th anniversary of Pokemon red, blue, and emerald. The Pokemon you thought was best, you picked it, and you were one of their teammates. Then you got a Pokemon special t-shirt. The Pokemon series is so popular it is in other games and if you’re a true Pokemon fan you will get them.
