Trivia

• This episode appears to be a Mothers' Day special.
• In this episode, Team Rocket uses a variation of their motto.
• The dub title is a pun of the famous saying, the man with a plan.

Errors

• The most infamous Trainer's Choice incorrectly claims that Arbok evolves into Seviper. Arbok and the other two choices, Sableye and Suicune don't evolve at all, and Seviper is the only Pokémon in its evolution chain.[1]
• In both the original and the dub, May mentioned that she used Skitty in the Fallarbor contest, but she actually used Beautifly in the contest in question.

Pokémon Trainer's Choice

• Question: Which of these Pokémon evolve into Seviper?
• Choices: Arbok, Sableye, Suicune
• Answer: Ok, trainers! If you chose Arbok, you were right!
