Trivia

• This is the first episode of American season 6. However, the Master Quest title remains for the remaining eleven episodes of the Johto saga.
• The depiction of the Unown dimension is the same as in Spell of the Unown.
• The Latin American dub title is the same as the one given to the Twilight Zone series and movies.
• The Brazilian Portuguese dub title is a reference to the eyecatch Who's That Pokémon?.
• The Unown that the gang care for in this episode is the 'G' form.
• This episode features a rare glimpse of Misty with her hair down. The other one is Poké Ball Peril.
• This episode has a lot in common with the banned episode Electric Soldier Porygon, in that the heroes enter another dimension, the Pokémon that enter with them become giant, and they ride them.
• An instrumental version of the Bulbaby is used as background music.

Errors

• In many dubs, dubbers mistook Unown for a misspelling of Unknown.
• Ash claims they saw an Elekid, Electabuzz, Magby, and Slowking, however, this is wrong. They never saw an Electabuzz in the Unown dimension or the real world, but instead saw an Elekid and heard the Electabuzz song.
