Trivia

  • Together is used as background music.

  • Snover's Grasswhistle is a remix of Oracion.
  • The dub title is the English equivalent of the original title, the first title that is a direct translation since Leave It To Brocko!.

Changes

The new "To be continued"
  • Much like Here's Looking at You, Elekid before it, this episode begins a new era for the Pokémon anime, as it switches from a 4:3 aspect ratio to a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, while broadcasting in high-definition for the first time.
  • A new title card is introduced. It features the Sinnoh Gym Badges Ash currently has and Contest Ribbons Dawn earned. It also features the silhouettes of Dialga and Palkia, with the Notched-ear Pichu under the title. The Pichu was for a Japanese contest only so she did not appear in the dub version's title card.
  • The new eyecatches are introduced. This time, Ash was positioned at the center for the first eyecatch and Dawn was positioned at the center of the second eyecatch. Previously, Dawn was at the center of the eyecatches. In addition, a quiz in Japan was introduced where residents from Japan had to answer where the Notched-ear Pichu appeared in.
  • The font used for the "To be continued" text at the end of the episode has been changed, after being the same since EP001.

Errors

  • In one scene, the dot on Staraptor's head is missing.
