This was a remix of the Pokemon Tower theme song composed by Jun’ichi Masuda, this remix was made in 2004 and came out with Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Music Super Complete.
Not exactly Pulse-related, but it’s still the work of the game’s composer.

Happy Mother’s Day!
Pulseman’s mother was only shown during the intro cutscene, which plays if no buttons are pressed on the title screen. Her name was never mentioned.

POKÉMON FUN FACTS: VOLT TACKLE
Volt Tackle, the Pikachu family’s signature move, is known in Japan as “Volteccer”, a reference to the signature move of another Game Freak character: Pulseman! Pulseman was a game for the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive if you’re from the UK) that’s been referenced a couple times in the Pokémon games. Some of the more notable references include:
- Team Galactic’s name! In Japanese, it’s called the Galaxy Gang, which shares its name with a group of nasties from Pulseman.
- Rotom! Rotom bears resemblance to Pulseman himself, down to the little spikety-thing on its head.
- Remoraid! Remoraid looks like an enemy from one of the levels of Pulseman, apparently.
- The S.S. Anne! In Japan, the ship’s name is the Saint Ann, which happens to be the name of a computer in Pulseman.
Of course, this might all be incredible coincidence—who knows—but I’m gonna hold out hope that Game Freak remembers their roots.
If you’re interested, Pulseman is on the Wii Virtual Console. I haven’t played it yet, but I should make a note of it.

In an interview, Ken Sugimori stated that in designing Pulseman, he wanted to create a character that could “go beyond” Sonic the Hedgehog, who was the most popular Mega Drive character at the time. Since Sonic was blue, he wanted Pulse to be red. Sonic moved in curved paths and loop-de-loops, so Pulse’s quick Volteccer movement was made to be more linear, traveling in diagonals and bouncing at angles off walls. And while Sonic can move at the speed of sound, Pulse can travel at the speed of light.
