Trivia

  • This episode has a similar premise to the episode Wings n' Things, though in that episode the younger Trainer wanted to recapture Yanma.
  • This is one of the very few episodes in which Team Rocket successfully capture a Pokémon for Giovanni, although he sends it back to them. However, Yanma was a wild Pokémon at the time of capture, so it hadn't been stolen.
  • Jessie capturing Yanma after someone else weakened it echoes how she captured her Shellder (although in that case, it was James and his Weezing that weakened the Pokémon).
  • Yanma is captured and evolves in this episode. The only other main character's Pokémon to do this is Ash's Caterpie, who is referenced by Ash in this episode.
  • Two background tracks from Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea are used as music for this episode.
  • This episode is one of the few episodes since its trade in which Jessie's Wobbuffet does not appear.
  • During the second encounter with Team Rocket, Face Forward Team Rocket! was played.
  • This episode contains flashbacks from Ash catches a Pokémon! and Setting the World on its Buneary, the first captures of Ash and Dawn.
  • This was one of the few times Meowth fought alongside Jessie's and James's Pokémon, using Fury Swipes on Ash's Chimchar. Meowth normally fights alone or with Jessie and James.
  • Instead of Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture, the end of the episode featured a memorial to Jirachi: Wish Maker. This is part of a countdown to Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin
