Trivia

• In the VIZ Media second edition printing, the scene in A Little Kadabra'll Do It where Green hides Poké Balls in her top is edited out. The dialog is changed to make the edited scene make sense.

Errors

VIZ first edition

• In Just a Spearow Carrier, when the Pokémon League scoreboard is shown, Red's rival is identified as "GREEN" and Green is identified as "BLUE". This error is a result of Green and Blue switching names for the English translation. This error was also present in the "Best of Pokémon Adventures" compilation volume.

VIZ second edition

• On page 23, Blue erroneously refers to Lavender Town as "Lavender City," and on page 27, Red says "Pikachu... read?!" instead of "ready".
• The "next volume preview" page uses cover artwork for volume four that does not match the cover artwork advertised by VIZ's website or Amazon.com.
