Single Specimen Species: Averted in two instances: Aside from the three legendary birds the player can find in the wild, Lawrence III has an Articuno and Zapdos in his party, while Green has a Moltres in hers. There are two Mew found in the game: the one on Faraway Island, and the one owned by Green.

comment
The Cameo: The Yellow Forest subplot features a fight against Jessie and James, using their Pokémon from the original series. Yellow Forest itself features Yellow from Pokémon Adventures, who when fought will give the player a Light Ball. Lorelei from the original Indigo League Elite Four appears as an optional fight in the Ice Cave. Kalos Gym Leader Valerie appears on the Bellchime Trail after fighting Suicune. Beating her rewards the player with the Dazzling Gleam TM.

comment
Adapted Out: In order to make room for cross-generation relatives, many Pokémon were removed from the game. These Pokémonnote the Spearow line, Lickitung, the Goldeen line, the Hoppip line, Aipom, Stantler, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Smoochum, and Delibird were either baby Pokémon or Pokémon that didn't end up as something particularly strong. Several weaker or gimmicky moves were also removed to accommodate for later-gen moves.

Cutting Off the Branches
 Pokémon Polished Crystal (Video Game) / int_52475ffd
comment
Cutting Off the Branches: The Gen II games opted to give Red all the Kanto starters and Blue Exeggutor, Arcanine, and Gyarados to avoid making any starter choice canon. Polished Crystal meanwhile gives Red a Charizard and Blue a Blastoise. Green naturally gets Venusaur. This also applies to the Kanto fossils; Blue gets Kabutops, Red gets Omastar, and Green gets Aerodactyl.

Guide Dang It!
 Pokémon Polished Crystal (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: Mew and Celebi are catchable in Polished Crystal, but getting them is more obtuse than with the other Legendaries. For Mew, the player has to find an Old Sea Map in the Pokémon Mansion, then bring it to the Seagallop Ferry in Vermillion City, which will then take you to the Faraway Island where Mew resides. For Celebi, the player has to beat the Elite Four, then go to the Goldenrod Pokémon Center to Wonder Trade for a shiny Pichu, which is holding a GS Ball. Then they have to take the ball to Kurt, who will inspect it until the Elite Four is beaten again, after which Kurt will return it to the player. Then it has to be taken to the Ilex Forest shrine, where Celebi can finally be encountered.

comment
Adaptational Early Appearance: Several cross-generation relatives of Generation I and II Pokémon appear in the game, such as Munchlax and Togekiss. The exceptions are Lickilicky and Ambipom, since Lickitung and Aipom were removed from the game. Moves from later generations have been added to accommodate for the addition of the physical-special split. Valerie from X and Y appears after fighting Suicune, and Maylene from Diamond and Pearl can be battled in the Celadon City restaurant.

Ascended Extra: Zigzagged with Lyra. If the player chose Ethan in HeartGold and SoulSilver, she played the role of a recurring NPC who wasn't that important aside from giving out the obligatory catching tutorial. Here, she plays the role of the Friendly Rival. However, she can't be picked as the female playable character since Kris already fills that role.

Anti-Frustration Features
 Pokémon Polished Crystal (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: TMs are now reusable. To accommodate the addition of the Physical-Special split, the game's movepool has been expanded to include moves from later generations such as Shadow Claw and Dark Pulse. Trade Evolutions can now be done without the aid of another player; for the Gen I trade evolutions, the Pokémon simply needs to level up with a decent amount of EV investment in a single statnote Machoke with Attack, Graveler with Defense, Kadabra with Special Attack, and Haunter with Speed, and for the rest, they simply need to level up while holding their signature item (e.g. Scyther evolves when it levels up holding a Metal Coat, as opposed to trading it while holding one). Wild Bellsprout have a chance of carrying Gold Leaves, which function identically to the Heart Scales found in later games. Wild Oddish meanwhile carry Silver Leaves, which allow move tutors to be used an infinite number of times. Nuzlocke Mode has a few: Nuzlocke rules don't apply until after the first battle with Silver. The player isn't restricted to the first encounter of an area if they already caught that Pokémon. They aren't restricted from catching shinies, either. Gift Pokémon, such as in-game trades and Bill's Eevee, do not count as encounters.
