Trivia

  • This is the first time since Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2) when Professor Oak has been seen narrating the Live Caster, since from the episode mentioned to the previous episode, it had been narrated by Team Rocket.
• This episode includes Ash cross-dressing, which he has done once in every past series (the previously occasions involved him dressing up to challenge the Celadon Gym, helping someone practice confessing feelings and serving at the Mountain Hut Maid Café).
• During this episode, Pikachu's tail has a heart shaped piece of paper taped on, to make him appear female marking the first time that the Pikachu gender difference has been acknowledged in the anime.
• Maya breaks the fourth wall in this episode, doing so by pushing the split screen out in one scene to show her.
