Trivia

• Even though this special is based on Generation I, Red's Haunter is seen using Shadow Punch, a move that was introduced in Generation III.
  • In addition, Alakazam should not have been affected by the move if Generation I type matchups were in play, due to Ghost having no effect on Psychic.
• The Team Rocket helicopter seen when Giovanni makes his escape from Silph Co. is the same one used by Dr. Zager in the Best Wishes series, but with the Team Rocket logo removed.
