• Kotone's Johto introduction showed Clair in her Generation IV clothes.
• This is the first time that a main character receives an egg in which it hatches in the same episode.
• This episode, which featured Dawn getting a new Pokémon (Cyndaquil), aired close to when To Thine Own Pokémon Be True! aired in the US, which featured her releasing a Pokémon (Ambipom).
• Much like how Marilyn from Battling a Cute Drama! called Dawn Hikarin, Kotone also calls Dawn this.
• The move Water Gun got a new digital effect.
