Trivia

As part of a campaign for Pokémon Sunday, Shokotan's Tropius was available for download from various Pokémon Centers in Japan from February 2 to 12, 2007.
The "Pikachu-colored" Pichu available to those who pre-order a movie ticket for Arceus and the Jewel of Life has Shokotan as its OT.
- Also the Keldeo that was available to those who pre-order a movie ticket for M15 has Shokotan as its OT.
In a blog entry posted on May 31, 2010, Shokotan spoke of Peg's love of Electric types and mentioned that, because of this, she wanted to capture a Zekrom. Zekrom was not officially confirmed to be part-Electric type until two weeks later.
She is similar to Becky: both were Pokémon Sunday hosts and occasionally voiced characters on the movies.
Prior to PK25, all of her anime roles were only in movies. She does not appear in Genesect and the Legend Awakened, the film associated with the short.
This voice actor is referred on the second Pokémon Direct, as someone who suggested early what would be the Pokémon Bank.
