Trivia

• While Pikachu is now happy to battle against Misty's Pokémon in general, this is the second time that it refuses to battle against Misty as it does not want to fight Togepi.
• Given the positions that Ash and Misty were standing in both before and afterwards, and the fact that the Lure Balls fell in a straight line behind the bush, it appears that it was actually Misty who captured Totodile.

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".
