Butterfree and Me! (Japanese: サトシとバタフリー！また会う日まで！！Satoshi and Butterfree! Until the Day We Meet Again!!) is the 130th episode of the Best Wishes series, and the 787th episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on June 13, 2013 and in the United States on September 14, 2013.
Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
While gender differences for Pokémon which debuted before the introduction of these differences have been acknowledged in the anime, this is not true for the Butterfree in this episode, all of which — including the Pink Butterfree, confirmed to be female — have no purple spots on their wings and thus appear to be male. This may be either an animation oversight or an indication that Butterfree's anime design is not intended to correlate with its gender differences in the games.

When Ash is reading a magazine in the Pokémon Center, Pikachu's right cheek is colored pink, and Metapod's eyelid is placed in the wrong position.
During the brief scene showing Team Rocket after their motto, the Meowth balloon's ears are cream-colored like its face, instead of black.
