Ash cross dresses for the second time
- The dub title is based on the phrase "Love at first sight"
- For reasons unknown, this episode was pulled over and aired on a later date.
- This is the third episode that's been a reference to William Shakespeare's play of "Romeo and Juliet".
- Bella Hudson takes over as Nurse Joy as of this episode from Megan Hollingshead who left after the end of the Pokémon Advanced series.
- This episode marks the second time that Ash has crossdressed. He has crossdressed before in Pokémon Scent-sation, and again in the future in Tanks for the Memories!. It is interesting to note that Brock falls madly in love with Ash when he is dressed as Juliet, which hasn't happened before. This is probably because in the first time, he was dressed as a young girl which Brock wouldn't fall in love with, and the time after this one, Brock didn't even see him crossdressing.
- In this episode, Team Rocket uses a variation of their motto.
Errors
- In Pokémon Trainer's Choice, there are two correct answers, Roselia and Plusle, Plusle was the answer.
