Trivia

Sayaka and Mai.

• It was revealed that "Joy" is the nurse's family rather than given name. Sayaka's full name is Sayaka François Joy, and Mai's full name is Mai François Joy.
• Pokettari Monsutari and music from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew and Destiny Deoxys are used as background music.
• The episode contains many references to My Neighbor Totoro, with Sayaka = Satsuki and Mai = Mei.
• Pokémon senryū: かきまぜろ　こがさずこぼさず　ポフィンづくり Stir it, without burning or spilling: Pofin-making.

Errors

It says Joy is the Family's last name, but women's last names usually aren't carried to their children.
