Errors

Dub edits

The Japanese prophecy did not refer to Ash specifically, but only to an "exceptional trainer".

A portion of Professor Oak's explanation of what was causing the weather disturbance was cut. In it, Professor Oak theorized that life on earth was started by a chemical reaction that began when lightning struck volcanic seawater on the young planet, relating it to the elemental abilities of Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno.

When the Pokémon are attempting to free the legendary birds, ThunderShock, Water Gun, and Flamethrower are used simultaneously. Tracey's explanation, which was cut from the dub, is that "electricity, plus fire, plus water... electricity separates water into hydrogen and oxygen, which is then recombined using fire which means- Everybody get down!"
