Line 10:
* ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' has some of this trope. Real locations are mentioned, especially in the first generation games and anime. There is less real-world stuff in the later gens. Real-world animals [[No Cartoon Fish|including fish]] also appear less often later.
** Also, in ''[[Pokémon: The First Movie]]'', Mew is explicitly said to have been found in the rainforests of Brazil. Real life countries have never again been mentioned in the anime Pokeverse.
** ''Let's Go, Pikachu!'' and ''Let's Go, Eevee!'', quasi-remakes of the original games, excises many instances seen in the original. These include changing Lt. Surge from "Lightning American" to "Lightning Lieutenant", and changing an ex-Sylph Co. employee's reason for revenge no longer being that [[Reassigned to Antarctica|he was transferred to a "Russian no-man's-land" in Tiksi]], and instead for a vague reassignment "off to the boondocks"

* For those who have only seen the special editions of ''[[Star Wars]]'', it's weird seeing English writing on things like the tractor beam instead of the Aurebesh that later replaced it. It's also a little weird hearing Han Solo say things like "I'll see you in hell" in ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' without the "nine Corellian hells" backstory <ref>Even ''with'' that explanation, the use of "hell" and earlier use of "damn" as curious given [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] otherwise excludes real swear words in favor [[Pardon My Klingon|of its own, unique words]] but is free to use the two due to [[Grandfather Clause]]</ref>. Of course, you can file such things under [[Translation Convention]]. Justified in [[Canon]] according to the Hyperspace Article "The Written Word" this is the High Galactic Alphabet. As for use of the Greek Alphabet that is also justified as the Tionese writing system.
** Even in the remastered versions, ''A New Hope'' still contains standard numerals on screen as the Death Star nears Yavin IV. Although they don't match up with the numbers the characters are saying.
** The original Marvel ''[[Star Wars]]'' tie-in comic run had many of these, with mentions of "Sunday school" by Han Solo (made even more curious since, for as detailed as the ''Expanded Universe'' got, it never actually named its months ''or'' days of the week), Jaxxon talking about "space carrots" (implying that there were places not considered to be from space—which would be assumed to be Earth), and so on.
** The Ewok Adventure live-action TV movies had real-world horses and animals.
** ''The [[Star Wars Holiday Special]]'' (which
** [[The Thrawn Trilogy]] starts off by mentioning ''hot chocolate'', of all things, referring to it as "exotic" and something Lando found in his travels.
*** A canceled novel trilogy was to explain how humans ended up in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' galaxy. Some characters who were descendants of the characters from ''[[American Graffiti]]'' and ''[[THX 1138]]'' [[Canon Welding|somehow travel to another galaxy and back in time to become the first humans in the galaxy]].
** ''American football'' is shown in the officer's club in one of the ''Rogue Squadron'' books. Corran Horn notes it as a strange sport he'd never seen before.
