Trivia
- Dr. Quackenpoker bears a resemblance to Groucho Marx of the Marx Brothers, and particularly his character Dr. Hakenbush from A Day at the Races. In the English dub, his voice and several of his lines are direct homages to Groucho. For example, the line, "When I was a boy, I woke up one morning and I saw a Magikarp in my pajamas. How a Magikarp got in my pajamas I'll never know," is adapted from Groucho's remark, "One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know."
- Also, Dr. Hakenbush was originally going to be called "Dr. Quackenbush". Dr. Quackenpoker may be a reference to this.
- His Japanese name translates to green river.
