Trivia

• Dawn's Ambipom's release is similar to Ash's Primeape's release as in that both were given to another Trainer for training based on their skills, were on Ash's team at some point, and evolved onscreen, yet outside of Ash's ownership. Both are also based on primates, and had an interest in stealing Ash's hat.
