Trivia

• All the Butterfree in the episode are male. This appears to be an animation oversight, rather than the island only having male Butterfree on it.

• Ash and Iris narrate the preview for the next episode.

Errors

• Despite the Pink Butterfree being confirmed to be female, her design is not updated to show her with spots on the wings in the reanimated flashback to Bye Bye Butterfree.
• During the brief scene showing Team Rocket after their motto, the Meowth balloon's ears are cream-colored like its face, instead of black.
• When Team Rocket are blasted off, Woobat and Amoonguss disappear.
• As the Butterfree Ash befriended flies away with the others, one Butterfree has eight wings.
