Trivia
- This episode's dub title is a reference to the George Thorogood song, Bad to the Bone.
- In Otoshi's memories, it is shown he fought a Scyther when he won the Soul Badge. Also, it is shown he fought a Hitmonlee when he won the Marsh Badge.
- When Ash flashes back to his battles with the gym leaders, the scene where Bulbasaur defeats Venonat is shown. The Venonat was Aya's Venonat, and Ash won his Soul Badge by defeating Koga, the gym leader, when his Charmander beat Koga's Golbat.
- This episode is banned in South Korea.
Errors
- Pikachu knocks out Otoshi's Marowak with an Electric move, but Template:Type2s should be immune to it.
- Flashbacks show Otoshi earning a Volcano Badge, a Marsh Badge, a Soul Badge, and a Thunder Badge. However, when Team Rocket takes the badges from Otoshi, the Thunder Badge cannot be seen. The badges visible are a Boulder Badge, a Cascade Badge, a Marsh Badge, a Soul Badge, a Volcano Badge, and three unknown badges, two of them square and one of them green and triangle-shaped. Later, when Jessie shows the other trainer Otoshi's badges, the Thunder Badge is there but the Marsh Badge isn't. Also all the badges except for the Boulder Badge and the Thunder Badge are slightly distorted in this scene.
- After Jessie's Arbok defeated Otoshi's Doduo, she decides to catch his Doduo, however, captured Pokémon cannot be captured again. This may due to the factor not happening in the early stage of Pokémon.
- The scene exactly before Otoshi & Ash choose Pokémon to battle with, Ash's gloves appear over the upper tips of his fingers instead of the lower part of his fingers.
