Trivia
- This episode hints that Pokémon need to defecate upon mention of fossilized Pokémon manure.
Errors
- When the camera is panning over all of the Pokémon to show their red eyes, Kabuto has the colors of its claws and shell swapped.
- When Charizard fires his Flamethrower at Aerodactyl, the part of his wings that were previously blue turn yellow.
- When Ash falls, asleep, and rolls to the Togepi egg, all of the shapes are red, instead of half red and half blue.
Dub edits
- The sign at the beginning of the episode states the name of the canyon in the Japanese version. In the dub, the sign is a picture of a pick-axe and shovel.
- The point where Meowth actually lights the fuse is cut in KidsWB! version of the dub. Instead, the camera zooms in to Meowth's face so the lighter isn't seen visibly. This seen aired uncut on the VHS and DVD versions.
- When digging through the rocks, Misty says Ash had better not die on her. In the dub, she reminds him that he still owes her a bike.
