Trivia

• The opening animation is updated with all of Paul's Pokémon. This could mean that Paul may still have Weavile, though this is not concrete evidence, as it is not seen in any episode with Paul.
• The ending is omitted in the original broadcast, with the credits moved to the opening instead (scrolling from right to left).
• Music from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, and a instrumental version of By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~ are used as background music.
• This marks the second time that a main character lost in the appeal round. The only previous time took an extreme amount of stupidity on the part of Jessie.
