Trivia

• This is the fourth episode in the anime series with "Caper" in the title. The other three are The Case of the K9 Caper, The Kecleon Caper, and The Corsola Caper.
• When officer Jenny sprays Poké Ball with golden color, she says she present world's first golden Poké Ball. This is not completely true. Another fake golden Poké Ball was sold to James by Magikarp salesman in Battle Aboard the St. Anne. Also GS Ball is half golden. But of course, officer Jenny didn't know about them...
