Trivia
- The lyrics booklet misspells Poké Ball as "Pokéball".
- Three books of sheet music were released of the music from this album. There are two for piano - Pokémon 2.B.A. Master and Pokémon Five-Finger Piano, and one for recorder, Pokémon 2.B.A. Master: Recorder Fun!.
- In France, a special edition version of this album was released. This special edition included a second disc containing several remixes.
- On the iTunes release, the album was named Pokémon: 2.B.A. Master (Music from the TV series).
- The Norwegian lyrics are most likely based on the Danish ones as some of the lyrics are nearly identical. It could also be the other way around as both the Danish and Norwegian albums are only known to be released in the year of 2000.
