*** [[Ron London]], the ADR engineer editor who recorded the English voices for this episode, doesn't recall the exact reason why the sound of the slap was retained. He believes that it may have been because the music and effects audio tracks were not separated, so removing the slap effect would have required replacing the music. However, voice director and dub writer [[Michael Haigney]] noted that at the moment the slap was heard, there was no music and almost no ambient forest sound effects in the background. So, the slap could have been mixed out without affecting the music or ambient sound effects.<ref> Haigney, Michael. "Ep. 3 Ash Catches a Pokémon." ''Original Pokéman'', Buzzsprout, 23 Mar 2022.
