* This opening contained a large amount of spoilers regarding the main characters' parties. May's Combusken and Bulbasaur and Ash's Swellow all debuted in this opening long before actually appearing on the show. In the dub version, the same clip was used and in fact spoiled not only these but also the acquisition of Grovyle, Lombre, Skitty and Torkoal. Also, since they were all shown in one group-shot, there was little ambiguity about their inclusion.
