Trivia

Errors

• Shelly and Tabitha are referred to as Isabel and Harland. Similarly, the Blue and Red Orbs were referred to as the Indigo and Rose Orbs.
• Keanu said that his Nincada used Hidden Power to build the secret base. Secret Power is actually the move that allows players to build a secret base in Generation III.
• When Nincada uses Secret Power, it becomes Psycho Boost. Psycho Boost cannot be used via Secret Power.

Dub edits

• The PokéDolls in the secret base are painted away in the dub.
