Errors

Dub edits

• Misty goes on about her ambitions to learn everything about Water Pokémon for much longer in the dub. In the original, the scene with Water Pokémon scrolling past shows Misty praying to "The God of Water Pokémon" to help her achieve her goal.
• Rather than make up a food item, the onigiri is referred to as a "delicious but non-nutritious snack treat".
