Trivia

• This episode was supposed to air on January 13, 1998.
• The episode aired as a two-hour special (放送再開スペシャル（放送再開スペシャル やっとあえるね！）１時間SP) with Pikachu's Forest, when Pokémon came back on the air.
• Pyro and Sparky offer Brock and Ash a Fire Stone and a Thunderstone with which to evolve Vulpix and Pikachu. Misty also has a Pokémon that can evolve by way of evolutionary stone: Staryu, though Rainer never did offer her a water stone, probably because she already has a Starmie.

Errors

Misty's Horsea uses Sludge on Jessie, despite Horsea not being able to learn that move in the games.
