Trivia
- Music from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew and Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, and Pokémon Symphonic Medley are used as background music.
- Among Ash's many badges is a fake badge that is designed on the Triforce or the Hōjō clan symbol.
- This episode holds the record for the most times Team Rocket blasted off. It was shown four times onscreen in quick succession, though they continued to blast off multiple times off-screen.
- The gate may be based on a similar gate in Spirited Away.
- The Poison Jab Brock's Croagunk uses on the illusion of Rayquaza resembles one of Monkey D. Luffy's signature moves, the Gum Gum Rifle.
- The dub title is a pun of the book Alice in Wonderland.
- James finds a cap of a Kanto-Cola bottle, a play off of Coca-Cola.
- Ash narrates the next episode preview.
Errors
- After receiving the case of badges from Professor Oak in his fantasy, Ash says he has all the badges. However, they are not all there -- the Mine Badge of Sinnoh is missing, as are the extra badges seen in Bad to the Bone and the four badges of the Orange Islands.
