The Pokemon Salamence looks like a homage to the old Anime, Devilman.

In Pokemon XD, there's lots of weird referances too. The Pokemon center whereyou can trade to your GBA when you beat the game, has a bookshelf that mentions the Hoenn area.
Sometimes trainers in the random battle say, "There's nothing under the truck, except maybe a grimer or a muk" or something like that, referring to that truck in the old gameboy games that everyone thought Mew came out of, and thinks its so important.
One trainer has that cactus pokemon and a Chimecho, and mentions someone else having the same pokemon, an allusion to James from the anime.
Also, when Mecha-Groudon is launching from the basement, it's almost a direct spoof of the old show, Mazinger, with the opening of the fountain, and rising of the Mecha Groudon!
The Mecha Kyogre looks almost exactly like a pilder, which is the thing that goes in Mazinger's head.
I think the hoverbike in that game is also ar eferance to some old anime too.
Pilder:
The Mecha-Kyogre has wings folding out with hover things on each wing, and a similar windshield.
Mazinger Launching:
That's almost the exact same way Mecha Groudon does it!
