* [[James]]'s faux flashback appears to be based on ''{{wp|A Dog of Flanders}}'', an 1872 English children's novel that is highly popular in Japan to the point of being regarded as a classic. James, as a small child, is dressed like a street urchin, and dies in front of a painting of a choir of angels on a cold winter night. James recalls that "the boy departed this world" and that "he was found frozen solid". ''A Dog of Flanders'' ends with the protagonist, a young, homeless child, freezing to death with his dog on Christmas Eve while spending the night staring at Paul Peter Rubens's "The Elevation of the Cross". | * [[James]]'s faux flashback appears to be [[List of references to popular culture in Pokémon|based on]] ''{{wp|A Dog of Flanders}}'', an 1872 English children's novel that is highly popular in Japan to the point of being regarded as a classic.

* This is one of the few times {{an|Brock}} was easily fooled by a blatant lie told by {{TRT}}. He was seen crying in mourning for James when he told the story that he was frozen near a church, and died. This can be considered ironic, as Brock is considered to be the wisest, most level-headed person in the group in most situations. | * This is one of the few times {{an|Brock}} was easily fooled by a blatant lie told by {{TRT}}.
