Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 introduced the Pokéstar Studios, a place located above Virbank City, where the player can take part in creating movies representing several genres. When the player interacts with the television of the ground floor of their house in New Bark Town, it says, ' There's a movie on TV: Stars dot the sky as two boys ride on a train.' When the player interacts with the same television in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, it mentions another movie: ' The TV is playing a movie! Two boys are in a cave searching for treasure!' Other televisions in these games don't reference these or any other movies. One such reference is in Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Before that, there were only a few references in the games.
References to movies in the Pokémon world were very rare outside of the anime, until the release of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
