Trivia

• Meowth's Sunflora costume from All Dressed Up With Somewhere to Go! reappears in this episode.
• Music from Destiny Deoxys and Pokémon Heroes are used as background music.
• A model of the Space-Time Tower from Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai is seen.
• Nando quoted The Original Story from the Sinnoh myths.
• Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture: Rampardos
  • Pokémon senryū: ラムパルド　あたまみがいて　せんとうじゅんび
• Ash narrates the next episode preview.
• Ash's voice isn't so forced like it was during the Battle Frontier season in the English dub.
• Viridian Jenny shouting "Objection" outside of the screen, the showing of "contradicting" evidence by Eterna Jenny and a witness account from Gardenia are all possible references to the Phoenix Wright game series.

Errors

• Officer Jenny from Viridian City claims that Team Rocket didn't use their old motto from the second episode of Pokémon in this episode, yet she never heard them recite it. In that episode, she only announced that "they were" the possible thieves roaming Viridian at that time.
