Trivia

File:Aaron's Signature.jpg
Aaron's signature
  • Details of this episode were made known in K-Zone, a children's magazine, before any official Japanese episode listing. However, the magazine stated that Aaron would appear before Celestic Town, suggesting that it was moved to fit in the one-hour specials at Celestic.
  • Aaron's signature was shown in this episode. It was his Japanese name in romaji, Ryou. This was not changed in the dubbed version.
  • This marks the second time that Ash's Butterfree is seen in a flashback in the Diamond & Pearl series. The first was in The Thief That Keeps on Thieving! as a Caterpie.
  • The dub title is a reference to the 1972 Paul Simon song "A Mother and Child Reunion".
  • Professor Oak's lecture: Charmander
