Trivia
- In the Japanese version of the episode, Ash's Aipom was identified as female by May.
- While the term "king" is usually only applied to males, the system shown in this episode applies to both genders as a woman says that she wanted to be king when the crown is stuck on Aipom's head.
- This was the last episode to air before the Japanese theatrical debut of Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea.
