Best answer

To Generation I

  1. The layout of Santalune Forest is an almost exact copy of Viridian Forest.
  2. Several moves originating from Generation I, including Psychic and Hyper Beam, use their original sound effects.
  3. Professor Sycamore gives new Trainers one of the three Kanto starter Pokémon.
  4. Cassius in Camphrier Town mentions how Bill sent him there to work with the PC.
  5. A Youngster on Route 5 will mention that he likes to wear shorts because "they are comfy and easy to wear."
  6. A sleeping Snorlax is blocking Route 7, and the Poké Flute is required to awaken and get past it.
  7. A remix of the wild Pokémon battle music from Generation I plays when battling Mewtwo and the legendary birds, using the exact same soundfoot as that of the Game Boy music. The remix also contains boulder pushing sound effect from Generation I.
  8. A non-player character at Magenta Plaza mentions that Professor Oak's grandson visited Kalos to study abroad, and would frequently end conversations with "Smell ya later!" However, she also says that he got "bonjour" down just fine, which is how he greeted the player while aboard the S.S. Anne.
  9. A Battle Girl in the Fighting Dojo on the third floor of a building at North Boulevard mentioned that her sensei came all the way from the Kanto region to open a Fighting Dojo.
  10. Lysandre Labs is a high-tech facility inhabited by a villainous team where the player needs to use spinners and warp tiles to navigate around, much like the Silph Co. and the Rocket Hideout.
  11. The Unknown Dungeon uses the same name as the Cerulean Cave used in Generation I. Also, both of these locations are the only places in their respective games where Mewtwo can be encountered. Additionally, an NPC blocks the entrance of each Unknown Dungeon until the player becomes the Champion, both NPCs tell the player the exact same thing if he or she interacts with them, and mysteriously vanish after their conditions are met.

To Generation II

  1. The Furfrou chase puzzle at the Parfum Palace is similar to the Farfetch'd chase puzzle in the Ilex Forest.

  6. When the player can't afford a ride on the Lumiose City cab, one of the Drivers will say when defeated, "Now I won't even have a copper to send back to my family in Hoenn..."
  7. A woman staying at Hotel Richissime on the fifth floor during the bed making job compares it to the Resort Gorgeous.

To Generation IV

  1. Drasna of the Kalos Elite Four claims her grandparents moved to Kalos from a city where the past lives on in a faraway region, and that they raised her on the stories of the Pokémon of time and space.

good job

Wow this is good, better than my answer
+1 to you

I was quite shocked when I realized just how many Kanto and Unova references there are. By now I'm positive Unova lies pretty close to Kalos.
I think Kanto is not that close though, maybe bacause Kanto and Johto are the same landmass, and Johto got the minutest references xD
by
Wow, thanks, all these references are very interesting.

Well I don't know all of them, but Unova is mentioned on the Pokemon sport show thing on tv (can't remember the real name) and I believe there's a house in snowbelle city that plays the snowpoint city theme from sinnoh. There's also a guy in a random hotel that says he comes from another region that isn't kanto,johto,hoenn,sinnoh or unova.

That's all I can think of right now

Edit

I can't believe I forgot the snorlax on the bridge on route 7, the mewtwo in the unknown dungeon in Pokemon village, the roaming legendary birds, and how santalune forest is like viridian forest like how you find pikachu rarely in both of the forest

These are all kanto references

2nd edit

Can't believe I forgot about professor sycamore giving you the Kanto starters

Another kanto reference

Hope I helped

Oh yeah that Snorlax, I was so annoyed when I saw it blocking the way again XD
by
I never got to play the kanto games (weird right) but when I saw that snorlax I knew they were trying to make people remember the first games (or something like that)
by
Actually I haven't played the first games either, but I did play Soul Silver. It was hell trying to find the Poké Flute, because I didn't think to jump to the internet back then.
