Trivia
- Jun's first appearance to Ash in this episode features the two literally running into each other. This is borrowed from Jun's game counterpart, Pearl.
- Turtwig is replaced by Grotle in the opening. However, it stays as Turtwig in the closing.
- As of this episode, Infernape is the only member of the Sinnoh starter families who has yet to make a debut in the anime.
- Interestingly, while Ash's Badge Case has all 8 places shaped ready for the badges he will eventually receive, Jun's badge case has at least one space different as he has a badge that is not present in the games, which shows that there are at least two types of Badge Cases.
- Jazzlike music is used as a theme for Jun.
