• During the events of the short, silhouettes of Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, and Shaymin appear in the background. Their locations are revealed during the dance number at the end.
• Interestingly, many of the Pokémon act like ones previously owned, (ie. Piplup fighting with Oshawott just as Dawn's Piplup did) though it is never directly stated they are.
