Trivia

Meowth as Steven Spielberg

• Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster: Pichu
  • There is no Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster following this episode as the episode was part of a one-hour special program.
• The next episode preview is narrated by Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie.
• Meowth's outfit resembles the famous movie director Steven Spielberg, due to his beard and glasses.
• The fake movies Team Rocket made are referencing some real-life movies, such as James Bond, Kaiju, and the Aliens movie.
• This episode contains a parody of the MGM logo, with Meowth in place of the lion.
• One of the promotion videos seen in the PokéVision features an Onix providing its Trainer shelter during a snowstorm. This is possibly a reference to the Indigo League special episode Snow Way Out!, where Brock used his Onix to protect himself and Misty during a snowstorm.
  • In addition, the Japanese titles of both the promotion video and the aforementioned episode refer to Onix being used as a bivouac, a military encampment, usually a tent.
• This episode features the following flashbacks of Serena and her Fennekin:
  • Serena meeting Fennekin, Fennekin using Ember on a wild Vespiquen to protect Serena and giving her hat back from A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!.
  • Serena and Fennekin at the Pokémon Center from A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!.
  • Serena grabbing Fennekin after beating Team Rocket from Grooming Furfrou!.
