Trivia

• The English title of this episode is a reference to the line "Do you know the Muffin Man?", a classic nursery rhyme.
• This episode originally aired as a one-hour special with Cooking Up A Sweet Story!.
• Music from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, Pokémon Heroes, and the old Team Rocket theme is used as background music.
• Dawn used the Kitchen Timer on her Pokétch when she was cooking Poffins.
• Forsysthia and her Roserade are seen holding a Sprayduck on different occasions.
• Kikuko Inoue replaces Yuriko Yamaguchi, who is on maternity leave.
• A new version of By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~ with new animation and a different mix is used as the ending theme.
• An interview with Kunihiko Yuyama and new Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai footage followed the episode.
• Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture: James's Cacnea
  • Pokémon senryū: サボネアは　ふれるとチクチク　トゲトゲよ Sabonea wa, fureru to chiku chiku, toge toge yo. "Sabonea, prickly spikes, when it touches."

Errors

• In the flashback is shown that Forsythia's Budew evolved into Roselia and then into Roserade just because it was so happy being around so many flowers, while this is true in the games: Budew evolves into Roselia through Happiness, but to evolve it into Roserade the player needs a Shiny Stone.

Dub edits

• In the Japanese version, there was an original intro for this episode, yet Pokémon USA starts out the episode with a cold open format (not present in the Japanese version), and then using the original intro after the theme song is played. This is also true for Cooking Up A Sweet Story.

In other languages

• Italian: Scuola di cucina & Un piccolo super eroe
• Latin American Spanish: ¡El Super Poffin Plan!
• Dutch: Oh, weet jij het poffin plan?
