Trivia

• This episode wasn't aired in some countries due to the fact that the episode made Ash and May look like a couple.
• An almost similar event happens in The Champ Twins!, but in that episode, no one thinks that Ash and Dawn are a couple.

Errors

• Onix is misspelled as Onyx in the Pokémon Trainer's Choice for this episode.
• Ash has forgotten about the double battling against Luana in the Orange Islands season; however the difference here is with when Ash battled Luana, it was a tag-battle between two trainers both using two Pokémon, while the case of this episode's tag-battle was four trainers using just one Pokémon each.
• When May checks her Pokédex on Andi's Nidoqueen, and it shows Nidoqueen on the screen of her Pokédex, instead of her fingers, which have black and white gloves, Ash's fingers are barely seen holding the Pokédex.
• During Ash and May's argument, May's left hand dissappears.
• Brock says that, according to the rules of Pokémon battles, no trainer is allowed to use more than one Pokémon in any battle. This is, of course, not true.

Pokémon Trainer's Choice

• Question: Trainers, which one of these Pokémon is the best choice to battle Ariados?
• Choices: Raichu, Onix, Blaziken
• Answer: Okay, trainers! If you chose Onix, you were right!
