* Although Ash's flashback in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'' seems to suggest that Gary and Ash were childhood friends, this is contradicted by Gary's conversation with Ash in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', when they first started off on their Pokémon journeys; it indicated that was the first time they met.

** This is further contradicted in ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind]]'', where Ash and Gary interacted with each other mere days before they set out on their journeys, with the two already knowing each other for sometime beforehand based on their exchange.

*** It is to be noted that Gary's exchange with Ash in ''Pokémon - I Choose You!'' was a mistranslation. In the Japanese version of the episode, Gary instead makes comments to Ash that indicate he knew him beforehand, such as 「{{tt|「痛いのは こっちだ!ん…!? お前は サトシだな!はいはい サ~トシさんだよ。サトシ君は最初から遅刻かい?」|"Itai no wa kotchi da!n…!? omae wa satoshi da na! hai hai sa Toshi san da yo. Satoshi kun wa saisho kara chikoku kai?"}}」("Hey, that's my line! Huh? Well if it isn't Satoshi! Yeah, I remember you. It's Mr. Sa~toshi himself! So you got a late start, Lil' Satoshi?") and 「{{tt|「“シゲル君”だよ。“君”をつけてくれよ。しかし今日 遅刻するようじゃ。ボクのライバルとしてすでにキミは初めからコケってる」|"Shigeru kun da yo. kimi o tsuketekure yo. shikashi kyō chikokusuru yō ja. boku no raibaru toshite sudeni kimi wa hajime kara koketteru"}}」("That's 'no, sir' to you. Don't forget the 'sir' at the end there. But it looks like you're already running late. Ugh, to think my rival's getting off to such a pitiful start").
