Errors

During several scenes throughout the episode, the leaves on Pancham's mouths are in the right side, or in the left side or vice verse.

When Pikachu and Froakie pulled Chespin out of the ground, the two brown triangles on Chespin's face disappears for a few frames.
When Jessie threw a Poké Ball to catch a Pumpkaboo, its fangs are missing.
When Dedenne found the track where Pikachu and the other Pokémon are, its tooth is missing.
When Pangoro got hit by a twig thrown by Chespin and became very mad, Pangoro's ears are colored the same way as its eyes, and its paws are colored black instead of dark-gray.
Pangoro's Hammer Arm worked on Jessie's Pumpkaboo
