This two-part episode marks the first time an episode has had its dub title leaked before airing in Japan, as the title was first revealed two days before this episode aired.
This marks the first time "Next Time...A New Beginning!" is put at the end of the episode instead of "To Be Continued" without Ash beginning a new journey in the next episode.
This marks the first time Ash has not collected the exact same badges from the game the saga was based on, receiving the Toxic Badge instead of the Legend Badge as his final badge.
