Buizel's blue eye

• In one scene, which was repeated several times, Buizel's eye was colored the same as his Water Gun.

Dub edits

• In the scene where Buizel and Chimchar attack the worker's Metang, Ash orders Chimchar to use Flamethrower, however when Chimchar was about to use Flamethrower, the scene switches to Buizel using Water Gun, without Chimchar being shown using Flamethrower.
