Trivia
- This is the third episode in which a Pokémon from a new generation appears. The first two were Pokémon - I Choose You! and Pokémon Emergency!, respectively, in which Ho-Oh appeared.
- When Arbok slaps Brock in the back of the head his eyes open.
- This marks one of the few occasions where Meowth is seen in battle.
- The tournament:
- Meowth VS Onix - Meowth wins by hitting Onix with two buckets of water and then using Fury Swipes
- Bulbasaur VS Psyduck - Ash wins by having Bulbasaur Tickle Psyduck (unable to actually attack Psyduck without giving it a headache). This may have inspired the move that was introduced in Generation III.
- Meowth VS Pikachu - Ash wins with a simple Thunderbolt
- Even though Ash first owned the egg and won it from the tournament, Togepi chose Misty because it saw her first.
Errors
- In one scene, Jessie eats toast with her gloves and boots off. The next scene after being attacked, her gloves and boots were back on.
Dub edits
- The Japanese release states "Dr. Okido" on the video card that Ash gets from Nurse Joy, instead of "Ookido". The dub painted it out.
