===Remember That Episode?: Sparks Fly for Magnemite===
===Trainer's Guide: Form differences===
* '''Sparks Fly for Magnemite''' (Japanese: '''コイルはでんきネズミのユメをみるか！？''' ''Do Coil Dream of Electric Mice!?'') is the 30th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 21, 1997 and in the United States on October 16, 1998.  
* While there are 649 officially recognized species of Pokémon, with most members of an individual species looking relatively similar to one another, several Pokémon species have remarkable differences in appearance between members.
* In this episode, {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} arrive in [[Gringey City]] a polluted city. Ash notices then that his {{AP|Pikachu}} is acting weird as its face is red. They then go to [[Pokémon Center]] to treat it when the local [[Nurse Joy]] dismisses it as as a cold. She then suggests that they leave Pikachu there for the night. As she is treating Pikachu the power to goes out.
* Among these are several [[legendary Pokémon]], whose unique forms can be changed between at will, and are spelled officially as "Formes".  
* This episode marks the debut of the following Pokémon: {{p|Muk}}, {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Magneton}}, {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Growlithe}} and {{p|Nidoran♀}}.
* {{p|Unown}} was the first known Pokémon to have multiple forms in the games. From the species' debut in [[Generation II]], each Unown would have an appearance similar to that of one of the twenty-six letters of the Latin alphabet. In [[Generation III]], two more forms were added, corresponding to the question mark and exclamation point.  
* The Japanese title is a reference to a book by {{wp|Philip K. Dick}}, {{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}. The next time the franchise would refer to the book is the creation of {{p|Mareep}} and its evolution family.  
* The Generation I Pokédex entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of markings on its belly that differ between areas. Eight designs are known, but only four have appeared in the games, and only three of which appeared in main series games. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok gains a special ability depending on its pattern.
* This is the first episode to reveal the problem that an {{type|Electric}}Pokémon that has too much stored electricity has. It would later be expanded upon in ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' and subsequent episodes.
* Like Unown, {{p|Spinda}} has many visual variations in its species, all involving the placement of its spots. Like Unown's letter, the spot placement is generated based on the individual's personality value, and likewise, has no effect on the Pokémon's stats.  
* Near the end  of the episode, when the group is talking to Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny, there is a bunch of Pokémon beside them. Of them, there are two Pokémon, Raticate and Fearow, that appear very small for their size.
