Trivia
- Music from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew and Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, and Because the Sky is There are used as background music.
- Jessie frequently mispronounced Hippopotas's name.
- It is also one of the few episodes since EP146 in which Jessie's Wobbuffet didn't appear.
- Professor Oak's lecture returns.
- Professor Oak's lecture: Mothim
- Pokémon senryū: ガーメイル おてがみかいたよ eメイル Gāmeiru, otegami kaita yo, imeiru "Garmeil, it wrote a letter, an email"
- Although Hippopotas weighs 109.1 lbs. (49.5 kg), Ash is able to carry it in his arms, or on his head, without apparent difficulty, though this would not be the first that a Pokémon's weight in the anime differs from that in the game.
- Many fans speculated that Ash would capture Hippopotas here, yet it never happened. With hopes rising high, some say if this episode wasn't a filler episode, then this Hippopotas will make a return sometime.
- Ash narrates the next episode preview.
