Trivia

• The Café Cabin on Route 210 is featured in this episode. However, it's called the Mountain Hut Maid Café in the dub.
• This episode marks the third time that Ash has crossdressed. The other times were in Pokémon Scent-sation and Love at First Flight.
• Jessie's Wobbuffet dressed in the outfit it wore in Claydol Big and Tall.
• By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~ is replaced by Message of the Wind as the ending theme.
• Though Ambipom evolved in Journey to the Unknown!, the opening for this episode has not been updated to include her evolution, which is something that also hasn't happened with We Will Be Heroes, the English opening theme.
• When Ash and his friends are helping in the café, two guys are visiting. One of them wears a T-Shirt with Marina on it and had a bandana similar to May's.
• This episode has a similar theme to The Lotad Lowdown. Three sisters are introduced, Brock falls in love with the two older sisters, and the youngest sister is in love with him.
• Professor Oak's lecture: Probopass
  • Pokémon senryū: ダイノーズ　しんかするなら　テンガンざん　Dainōzu, shinka suru nara, Tengan-zan. "Dainose, if it's going to evolve, Mt. Tengan."
• Music from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew can be heard.
• This is the first episode of the season that, at the head of the episode, does not feature clips of events that happen later in the episode.
• The dub title of this episode is a pun on a popular song by Fall Out Boy, Thnks fr th Mmrs, that is pronounced "Thanks for the Memories".

Errors

• Once again, in the dub, Japanese Pokémon voiceovers can be heard over the English ones.
• For a moment when Turtwig is on Ash's head, part of Ash's undershirt is colored black instead of white.
