Trivia

  • The battle between Ash's Pidgeot and the Fearow is a parallel of EP081, the last episode in which this opening was used. Ash's Pidgeotto did not become Pidgeot until that episode.
  • Originally, the opening had one Pokémon image per screen. However, after the "seizure incident" of EP038, the opening was changed to be broken up into four images per screen. The title logo animation also differs slightly between versions.
  • The elemental logos shown before and during the title logo animation are used only in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

For example, in fire, in water, in grass, in forests
in earth, in clouds, in that girl's skirt (eek!)
