==Trivia==
* The original airing of What Kind of Pokémon Are You? on [[Pikachu's Jukebox]] used the original first verse, but due to "grass" being mistaken for the word "ass", the DVD releases of Pikachu's Jukebox use the end of the third verse (with {{p|Dratini}}) instead. This results in both Dratini and the {{t|Dragon}} type being mentioned twice, but no mention of the {{t|Grass}} type.
