Trivia

• For the Kids WB airing, after this episode airs, the next day, they skip to another season, airing the first episode. The reason for this is unknown. It's possible that they may have lost the rights to air the last 20 episodes, much like they lost the rights to air the first 145+ episodes.
• This episode's dub title is both a reference to the photography term, freeze frame, and a pun on Articuno's species (Freeze Pokémon).
