==Trivia==
* There is a possibility that Pacifidlog's concept was inspired by the Pokédex entry for in , which states that, in a south sea nation, the people live in communities that are built on groups of these Pokémon.
* Despite the town being built on top of a Corsola colony, the only way to obtain one is through a trade.
* In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when played in English, the old man in the southeastern house says "One does not simply walk into a Mirage spot." This is a reference to the line "One does not simply walk into Mordor," from the film . This can also be taken literally since the Mirage spots are accessed by soaring in the sky instead of walking.
* When spoken to, a boy in the northwestern house will ask "Where did you come from?" but provides a dialog box that only allows "Yes" or "No" as answers, triggering the following responses:
**"Yes? Yes Town? I've never heard of a place like that."
**"No? That doesn't make any sense. You have to come from somewhere. Oh! Wait! You're not going to say you were born at the bottom of the sea?"
:This is an inside joke among Game Freak's development staff. The Japanese name of "Yes Town", ハイタウン (Hai Town or High Town), was the name of an apartment building where the staff would stay while they were working on .Twitter summary of Game Freak's 30th anniversary stream (retrieved February 25, 2020)
