Trivia
- Despite Red's Poli debuting as a Poliwhirl, the contents page of this volume show Red with a Poliwag.
- Charmander is shown to have spines on its back on the title page, this is the same as on its Generation I back sprites, but is absent in those of future generations.
Errors
- There are a few spelling and grammar errors in the brief description of the second volume.
- "See Red in his disguise!" is "See Red is disguise!".
- "An appearance by Mew!" is "An appearans by Mew!".
- "A mysterious living thing!" is "Mysterious Living Thing!".
- There is a printing error that occurs in the Finnish edition. Two pages are repeated by accident, effectively removing two pages entirely: page 108 is replaced by page 101, and page 110 is replaced by page 103.
