Trivia

• This is the first time that music from The Rise of Darkrai is used as background music.
• An updated version of the music from the Sealed Chamber, Desert Ruins, Island Cave and Ancient Tomb in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald is used.
• The ghost of the little girl may have been based on the girl who appears in the Old Chateau. Her actions towards the end of the episode may hint that she was a demon.
• She also has some similar traits as the younger Sabrina Ash and his friends encountered in Kanto.
• The title is a pun of the phrase "school days".
• An earlier episode has a similar title to this episode's.
• With only 11 characters, so far, this dub title is the shortest of the season. Ironically, the next episode is tied for having the longest title.

Errors
