In the Eastern side of the Hammerlock Pavilion there is a little girl who asks the player to deliver a message to her friend in Ballonlea. However, when the player delivers it to said friend, they find that he is actually a middle-aged man. Adding to the eeriness of the scene, the man claims that the girl who sent the letter was a friend of his who he hasn't seen since childhood. If the player returns to where the child was, she won't be there, and if the player searches the exact area she was on, they will instead find a hidden Reaper Cloth (An item important to Ghost-type Pokémon), implying she may have been a ghost. Furthermore, if the player goes back to the man's house, a child will be standing facing the wall and state that she is having a conversation with someone. This seem to be part of a string of similar "Ghost Girl" Easter eggs seen in recent main-line Pokemon games,

Strangely, only the NES port has an Easter Egg referencing ICOM Simulations' other popular adventure "Déjà Vu": In an out of the way corner of a late game labyrinth section, the player can find a tombstone of one "Ace Harding", the main protagonist of "Déjà Vu". Messing with the tombstone will cause a zombified Ace to appear, proclaiming he was once a famous detective, and all he wants now is to be left alone. Further irritating him results in one of the many instant in-game deaths.

Attachment According to a Game Shokunin Vol. 1 interview with game's enemy programmer Yasuhiko Fujii, before the boss fight against Draygon, the player will encounter a group of Evir enemies that do a little "dance". Their movements actually spell out the words "Keiko Love" in English, referring to a girl Fujii dated at the time named Keiko. He was busy with work and couldn't make time for her, so when everyone in the office was asleep at night, he snuck this Easter egg into the game. Fujii recalled that the Evir dance was never written in the game's planning documents, and that his heart was racing fast as he coded it out of fear that it would be discovered, but no one on the team's staff ever found it.

The character Lau Chan was inspired by Mercenary Tao, also known as Tao Pai Pai, from the original Dragon Ball manga and anime. Lau was even once named Tao Chan, which is speculated by fans to be a combination of Tao Pai Pai and Jackie Chan. This connection also extends to Lau Chan’s daughter, who would be named Pai Chan. Pai Chan was also based on an ocha tea commercial actress.
