Errors

Dub edits

• The original intended to make a pun by having Pokémon show themselves to Team Rocket that have similar names to Ho-Oh. These Pokémon included Poppo (Pidgey), Hoho (Hoothoot), and Bohmander (Salamance). This joke would not make sense in the English dub since most of the names sound nothing like Ho-Oh.

In other languages

• Italian: Il leggendario Ho-Oh
• Latin American Spanish: ¡La batalla contra el enemigo!
