Trivia

• Dawn mistook Gary for Paul when she first saw him in this episode, a joke about the fact that Gary was once Ash's rival while Paul is Ash's current rival.
• Instead of Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture, the end of this episode featured a memorial to The Rise of Darkrai. This is the final part of the countdown to Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin.
• Music from Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea is used as background music.
• Dawn narrates the next episode preview.
• During the Diamond & Pearl series, Ash, Dawn, and Brock each have owned a Generation II Pokémon, however, this episode, before Gligar evolved, and the previous episode, after Swinub was captured, are the only times in the series in which all three have a Generation II Pokémon with them, Ash with Gligar, Dawn with Swinub, and Brock with Sudowoodo.

Errors

• In the ending, Kaze No Message normal version is played, instead of Poka Poka's version.
