* The shadowed Trainer using Nidorino and Onix to battle greatly resembles [[Bruno]] of the [[Indigo League]].
* The legendary bird Ash saw at the ending of the episode was {{an|Ho-Oh}}. This makes Ho-Oh the first [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the series, and in the first episode of the entire series.
* The beginning of the episode features sound effects from the original [[Game Boy]] games, drawing from the opening animation from {{game|Red and Green|s}} (with a {{p|Gengar}} battling a {{p|Nidorino}}) before moving seamlessly into the battle that Ash himself is watching on TV.

* Professor Oak knew that at least four new Trainers would be receiving their starter Pokémon and beginning their journey. However, he only ever thought to stock three (a Bulbasaur, a Charmander, and a Squirtle) not counting Pikachu, who was seen as a "last resort." Professor Oak states that if Ash was early, there would be one for him.
