* An alternate version of the Pokérap is featured on the promotional VHS tape ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]'' that was issued prior to the anime's debut in the United States. The Pokérap displays the name of Rapidash correctly, but it is pronounced "Rapidos" in this version, which was re-recorded for the final version. | |||
* In a Kids' WB promo, a verse of the Pokérap was sung by boyband {{wp|NSYNC}} (beginning with {{p|Articuno}}). However, the band members mispronounced {{p|Muk}} as "mook". | |||
* The five split segments were placed into episodes based on their Japanese airing order. This caused problems during the show's time in first-run syndication; ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'' aired the "Thursday" segment despite falling into the Wednesday slot in the syndication cycles due to ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' initially being skipped, with ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'' airing the "Monday" and "Thursday" segments, respectively, despite them falling into Thursday and Monday in the cycles due to [[Banned episodes|the loss]] of [[EP035]] and [[EP038]]. No attempt was ever made to correct this. | * The five split segments were placed into episodes based on their Japanese airing order.

** Had the entire first season aired in syndication, the last four episodes of the first season would have been bumped back a whole week in the syndication cycles due to ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' and ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'' being moved to the start of what was considered by Kids' WB the second season in the dub, thus somewhat correcting the problem due to the four episodes coming afterwards having the segments that corresponded to what would have been their days of the week in the cycle. | ** Had the entire first season aired in syndication, the last four episodes of the first season would have been bumped back a whole week in the syndication cycles due to ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' and ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'' being moved to the start of what was considered by Kids' WB the second season in the dub, thus somewhat correcting the problem due to the four episodes coming afterwards having the segments that corresponded to what would have been their days of the week in the cycle. | ||
