In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV, the Micro SMG is actually a civilian-legal pistol version of the IMI Micro-Uzi sub-machine gun but called Micro SMG in-game, while it is a full-sized IMI Uzi submachine gun in the other games. It can be identified as the pistol version because the side-folding wire stock is deleted, and there is no provision on the rear of the receiver to mount one. One can only assume that the pistol was illegally modified for full-automatic operation.

The SP89 is chronologically out of place as the game takes place in 1984, while this variant of the MP5 was not made until 1989. The game's version of it is fully-automatic, while in real life it is semi-automatic. However, it may be illegally custom converted to fully-automatic.

Attachment In the Japanese version, the intro says, "Gyiyg Strikes Back!", but was changed in the International release to, "The War Against Giygas!". This could've been possibly an overly-cautious attempt to avoid conflict with Lucasfilm over The Empire Strikes Back.

Many Pokemon are inspired by real-life creatures. Pokemon evolution, too, is based on real natural phenomena, although it has less in common with genuine evolution than it does with a process called metamorphosis.

The Pokemon Metagross seems to be heavily based on the number 12. It has 12 "toes", and the X on the center of his face has 12 sides. In addition, its name contains "gross" which means 144, or a 12 dozen. It also weighs 1212.5 pounds. .5 can be written as 1/2.

The Lileep-Cradily evolutionary line of Pokemon are based on crinoids, also known as sea lilies.

Fossil evidence shows us that creatures such as sea urchins began to view the stationary sea lilies as an easy meal: many crinoid fossils from the Triassic period show evidence of teeth-marks! It seems that this is why some crinoids became motile again. Some, such as the feather stars, have become reasonably adept swimmers: not especially quick or graceful, but enough to make a break for it if things seem to be getting dangerous. Other species have been seen to slowly walk along the sea floor using their multiple arms. This gradual progression towards motility seems to be referenced in the Pokédex entries of Lileep and Cradily, too... while Lileep is stated to be immobile, numerous references are made to Cradily moving around (albeit inelegantly).

Charmander may be based on a 1000+ year old misconception about the salamander.

Both Aristotle and Pliny the Elder believed that the salamander was capable of withstanding the heat of flames, and even had the ability to extinguish them. In Pliny's Natural History, the oldest surviving encyclopedia, a fairly accurate description of the salamander is followed up by claims that "This animal is so intensely cold as to extinguish fire by its contact, in the same way as ice does" (Book 10, Chapter 86). Later in the same work, though, he seems to view these supposed properties with more skepticism, claiming that "if it had been true, it would have been made trial of at Rome long before this" (Book 29, Chapter 23).

The connection between salamanders and fire persisted, however, and we can also find it in the Talmud, which briefly mentions the salamander as a creature actually produced by flames, whose blood could protect anybody smeared in it from fire. Even Leonardo da Vinci, one of history's greatest scientific minds, seemed content to echo the received wisdom on the subject, mentioning in his notebooks that the salamander "has no digestive organs, and gets no food but from the fire, in which it constantly renews its scaly skin."

In the add-on "Live Freemium or Die", before you fight the final boss he says, "You think microtransactions are your ally. But you merely adopted the freemium. I was born in it. Molded by it." This is a reference to the character 'Bane' in the movie The Dark Knight Rises.

Attachment Despite this game not featuring Metroids, in the demo version (Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt) the primary enemy is the Mochtroid. Mochtroids are failed Metroid clones which previously had only appeared in Super Metroid. They are distinguishable from Metroids as they have fewer nuclei, are far easier to kill, have an all around more sickly look (they are not as spherical or well developed as a true Metroid) and have trouble latching onto their victims (you can walk out of them, whereas to unlatch a Metroid you must use a bomb).
