 Two of the actors in Pokémon Live!, [[Darren Dunstan]] (Giovanni) and [[Andrew Rannells]] (James) went on to become voice actors for the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] [[dub]] of the series.
-Pokémon Live! is most notorious for featuring far more [[Shipping|heavy romantic overtones]] than the series on which it is based. In particular, Misty's feelings for Ash are [[PokéShipping|outright stated]] and a large source of angst for her character. The show was also the inspiration for [[DiamondShipping]], named after the Diamond Badge Giovanni offers to Trainers. During the events of the story, Delia reveals to Professor Oak that she once dated Giovanni when they were teenagers, though she left his gang after meeting Ash's father. This backstory, however, outright contradicts the Japanese-only audio dramas on the origins of Team Rocket.

He was sent a copy of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' to help him study for the production. He watched the film several times before starting to understand it better.
