The Japanese text for the last entry reveals the author to be somewhat more emotional.

Relation to Faraway Island
It is speculated that the Guyanese jungle where was apparently discovered is actually Faraway Island. In the Japanese version of, the message left on a signpost there contains a remnant of a signature belonging to a name ending in ジ (ji). The researcher who wrote these diary entries is speculated to be Mr. Fuji, who was known as Dr. Fuji back when he lived in Cinnabar Island and founded the Cinnabar Lab.

In Pokkén Tournament
When fighting Shadow Mewtwo, sometimes Nia will mention having read the "Cinnabar Island docs" on Mewtwo. However, this is only noticeable if her voice is turned on.

In Pokémon Origins
found the single Pokémon Mansion journal while visiting the Pokémon Mansion in File 3: Giovanni, containing all the entries written by the researcher.

The journal was referenced again in File 4: Charizard, where Red recalled finding out about the creation of Mewtwo from it. After telling Professor Oak about the journal, Red learned that the journal was probably the notes of Dr. Fuji, a former Pokémon expert whose research was dismissed soon after he had found and tried to artificially create a new, powerful Pokémon. Professor Oak also realized that Dr. Fuji was likely the same person as Mr. Fuji.

In the original Japanese version of Origins, the texts remain the same as in the games. In the dub, they were altered, much like in the localizations of the games.
