Errors

Dub edits

• Seymour talks about romance in the Japanese version, while he recites poetry in the English version.
• Seymour's two main virtues are changed from Love and Courage to Knowledge and Research. When he announces the virtues, the Japanese version has them written in the background.
• "Cerulean City" is translated on the sign directing towards it. Gary's message changes from "Shigeru is the best! Satoshi is an idiot" to "Gary was here Ash is a loser".
