In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is an Easter egg findable in Rustboro City, involving the Ace Trainer who gives the player a Float Stone. After giving it to the player, he will explain its effect of halving the holder's weight. If the player then leaves and re-enters the floor, the Ace Trainer has turned into a Hiker, who tells that he has put on a lot of weight recently for some reason.

Due to a quirk in the spawning mechanics, when it is day, Flutter Mane will spawn and despawn so rapidly that they will not appear visible to the player at all, unless the player is in a Union Circle session, in which case they will appear briefly. However, this behavior does not apply to Shiny Flutter Mane, due to the mechanic despawning them being coded to make Shiny Pokémon immune to being despawned by certain mechanics, (such as weather blowing certain species of Pokémon away), nor does it apply during night.

[Todd Snap] had two separate names in the English-language dub. He is known as Todd in the Kids' WB!, Cartoon Network, and Pokémon TV versions and Snap in the DVD/VHS version. When Pokémon.com announced that the episodes featuring him would air on Toonami Jetstream to celebrate the release of Pokémon Snap on Virtual Console in December 2007, they remedied the conflict by making Snap his surname.
