*In ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', Tracey brings out around 40–50 sketch books to show Professor Oak and then puts them back in the same bag that they should not have fit into in the first place.

===Chronological errors===
Some events in the anime seem to depend on what is shown in other episodes and what isn't (or not yet).
* Every new [[generation]] is a large {{wp|retcon}}. A region of the [[Pokémon world]] whose existence wasn't even known before is revealed and starts having effects on the previously known regions, such as introducing the new Pokémon there. This is unavoidable based on how the Pokémon world is expanded by the writers, as countering it would impose unrealistic restrictions on what can be shown in the anime.
* A Pokémon which hasn't been featured in an episode is generally not included in a minor role or referred to in other ways.
** When a crowd of arbitrary Pokémon is shown (such as at a Pokémon Center, used by unimportant participants of Contests or during a festival-like event), the crowd is mostly made up of Pokémon already featured in previous episodes.
** When a Pokémon is scanned with a Pokédex, whether the Pokédex mentions evolutions or pre-evolutions depends on whether the evolved or pre-evolved form has been featured in previous episodes.
* Rope bridges usually collapse ''just'' when a main or featured character crosses them. Similarly to the {{wp|Chekhov's gun}} concept, a rope bridge is not put in an episode if it's not intended to collapse.
