This stage is not directly based on any ''Pokémon'' game, though its "Kanto Skies" designation refers to the {{iw|Bulbapedia|Kanto}} region in which the original Game Boy ''Pokémon'' games, and their remakes, are set. It is rather a collection of Pokémon models taken from the ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Stadium}}'' series of games.

Interestingly, the Japanese name of the stage, "Pokémon Subspace", does not directly refer to the Pokémon as floats, and the models do not appear to be balloons. The concept of "Poké Floats", added during localization, was later used in other ''Pokémon'' media: examples include the {{s|bulbapedia|Wi-Fi Plaza}} in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Platinum}}'' and ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver}}'', and the climax of the ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon: Detective Pikachu}}'' movie, which features a battle between Pikachu and Mewtwo on Pokémon balloons.
