*Koffing was depicted as having its skull-and-crossbones pattern being ''above'' its face in [[Pokémon Red and Blue]] and the Japanese [[Pokémon Blue (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], rather than the pattern being ''under'' its face as potraied in the original versions of [[Pokémon Red and Green]] and later games. It is unknown if this was purposely done or if it was a sprite error (similar to the error of [[Raikou|Raikou's]] sprite in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]]).

*According to a question of a Pokémon Exam the characters of the anime participate in, Koffing was supposedly first discovered in a public outhouse. However, the card [[Koffing (Team Rocket 58)]], insists that Koffing was first discovered in a weapons factory. More than likely, this was another instance of [[Jessie]] getting a question wrong.

However, the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion's {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Koffing|58}} card insists that Koffing was first discovered in a weapons factory. This may be either because [[Jessie]] answered the question incorrectly or just a general inconsistency between the TCG and anime.
