* The depiction of [[Team Plasma]] in these episodes differs significantly from how they would be depicted from their official debut in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' and onward. While they still want to put Pokémon under mind control, the {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s in these episodes state their desire is to liberate Pokémon from their Trainers and that they're doing this in service of "{{an|N|the hero}}." This suggests a different story arc based on the first games of Generation V was planned for the first incarnations of Team Plasma to feature in but it got scrapped as of the release of the sequels, the anime using the second incarnation of Team Plasma instead. | * The depiction of [[Team Plasma]] in these episodes differs significantly from how they would be depicted from their official debut in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' and onward.

* Had this episode aired, it would have marked the debut of [[Ghetsis]] (albeit in the shadows), indicating he was planned to appear in the anime with his original design rather than one that appeared in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}. Due to this episode never airing, Ghetsis's original design would not make a proper animated appearance until [[Pokémon Evolutions]] a decade later. | |||
* The scene with {{p|Liepard}} attacking a skyscraper with {{m|Hyper Beam}} with two Team Plasma Grunts alongside it on a helicopter is reused for the ''Best Wishes! Season 2: Episode N'' opening, ''[[Be an Arrow!#Opening animation: Version 2 (BW109 - BW122)|Be an Arrow! 2013]]'', although it is newly animated rather than taken directly from the episode. The differences is that [[Aldith]] and [[Barret]] are in the scene (who have their uniforms designs from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2) instead of one Team Plasma Grunt with the original {{game|Black and White|s}} uniform. | * The scene with {{p|Liepard}} attacking a skyscraper with {{m|Hyper Beam}} with two Team Plasma Grunts alongside it on a helicopter is reused for the ''Best Wishes!

** In addition, the shot of Liepard firing Hyper Beam is later recycled for use in ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]'' when [[Stephan]]'s Liepard uses the move during his [[Vertress Conference]] battle against {{Ash}}. | ** In addition, the shot of Liepard firing Hyper Beam is later recycled for use in ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]'' when [[Stephan]]'s Liepard uses the move during his [[Vertress Conference]] battle against {{Ash}}. | ||
