Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis Finally in Pacifidlog Town, May prepares for the upcoming Contest, the one that will determine if she gets into the Grand Festival. When Skitty chases after an Aipom, May runs into Joshua & Erica, two Coordinators who are entering the Contest as well. May and Erica don't get off to a good start, because Erica thinks May is after Joshua. At the contest May, Joshua, Erica, and the Jester (which is actually Jessie in disguise) all make it to the next round.

Trivia

• There was much confusion as to whether this episode would air, due to the appearance of Jynx. However, since it was obviously an important episode, Jynx's face was re-colored purple and it was allowed to be dubbed, though Kids' WB! delayed its airing in the US.
• Brock thinks that the ice sculpture of Giovanni "looks familiar", making canon to Mewtwo Returns, as it's the only time when Brock has met him.
• The English dub title is a pun on the idiom "green with envy".
• This is first episode to air after Bulbapedia was "born".

Pokémon Trainer's Choice

• Question: Trainers, which Pokémon comes first?
• Choices: Skiploom, Hoppip, Jumpluff
• Answer: OK, trainers! If you chose Hoppip, you were right!

Errors

• When Meowth says "No Persian is gonna make a Mankey outta me!", the Closed Captioning referred the dialog as "No Persian is gonna make a Monkey outta me!"
• When Meowth changes the Persian statue into Meowth, it exclaims, "Nyath", the Japanese name for Meowth.

In other languages
