Trivia

• This is the first episode to be colored digitally, but this was long in the making, especially since Pokemon Johto animation was clearly digital.

Errors

• James's new Weepinbell evolved into a Victreebel without a Leaf Stone, but this is not the first time that this has happened: Melvin's Exeggcute became Exeggutor in March of the Exeggutor Squad in the same manner.

• In the English dub the Pokédex says that Elekid is Template:P2. Elekid actually evolves into Electabuzz.
