Errors
Dub edits
- The original intended to make a pun by having Pokémon show themselves to Team Rocket that have similar names to Ho-Oh. These Pokémon included Poppo (Pidgey), Hoho (Hoothoot), and Bohmander (Salamance). This joke would not make sense in the English dub since most of the names sound nothing like Ho-Oh.
In other languages
