 * Gary says "Well, you must be Ash" as if they have never met, but the two have actually known each other since early childhood.
 * The order in which Ash opens the starters' empty Poké Balls indicates his preferred choices: Squirtle first, Bulbasaur second, and Charmander last.
-* Professor Oak knew that at least four new Trainers would be receiving their starter Pokémon and beginning their journey. However, he only ever thought to stock three (a Bulbasaur, a Charmander, and a Squirtle) not counting Pikachu, who was seen as a "last resort." Professor Oak states that if Ash was early, there would be one for him, and if he was the third to arrive, the Trainer to arrive fourth would find that Oak is fresh out of Pokémon, except for Pikachu.
-** However, this can be explained after the events of ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.
 * Despite this episode centering around receiving a starter Pokémon, neither {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, nor {{p|Squirtle}} actually appeared in the flesh until ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', and ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', respectively. This is unlike the following generations, when at least one of the starter Pokémon appeared in the first episode of each generation.
 * This is the only episode with Pikachu seen inside his own [[Poké Ball]].
