+===Backmasking===
-In 2007, a fan posted a video of which during the scene where [[James]] was heard mumbling while at the grip of his {{TP|James|Victreebel}}'s mouth, his dialogue apparently sounded like gibberish. However, when this scene was later on played backwards, the muffled dialogue sounded as if he was saying "{{wp|Leo Burnett}} and [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] are the devil! Leo Burnett!". While it was then unproven whether this was just a coincidence or was done on purpose by [[Eric Stuart]], the then voice actor for {{an|Brock}} and James, a lot of fans have speculated that Eric Stuart may have left this supposed subliminal message to poke fun at Burnett's idea of animation commercialism and at the same time mocking 4Kids Entertainment for upsetting the fans who were unsatisfied with the international edits back when the company was responsible for dubbing the Pokémon anime. All of these were mere speculations at the time. <!--<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZlIcJbbm08&feature=player_detailpage#t=79s</ref> -->

 In 2011 at Matsuricon, a fan asked Stuart about this quote, which he confirmed was indeed intentional and claimed that it was because he was no longer being paid for his short commercials while working for 4Kids.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYkZBDkMf04</ref>
