Trivia

• Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster: Scraggy
• This episode was originally titled ヒウンシティのつり大会！釣りソムリエ・デント登場！！ Fishing Conference of Hiun City! Fisher Sommelier - Dent Appears!! in Japanese before it was postponed.
• Clips from this episode were first shown in the Pokémon Live Caster following BW036.
• This episode, in order to better place it between BW039 and BW040, went through a couple of minor retcons:
  • All references to the gang being in Castelia City have been removed.
  • The ending has been altered to show Bianca leaving the group, contradicting the following two episodes in which she is travelling with them.

Errors

• Despite the edits listed above, a couple of indications that this was an earlier episode have been left in:
  • Cilan looks up the fact that the next Gym is in Nimbasa City.
  • The gang are surprised to see James owning a Yamask (to the point where Ash scans it in his Pokédex), despite having encountered it several times before.
