* The beginning of the episode features sound effects from the original [[Game Boy]] games, drawing from the opening animation from {{game|Red and Green|s}} (with a {{p|Gengar}} battling a {{p|Nidorino}}) before moving seamlessly into the battle that Ash himself is watching on [[Television|TV]].  

** A similar sequence and transition mirrors the anime in the beginning of ''[[PO01|File 1 - Red]]'', the first episode of the ''[[Pokémon Origins]]'' mini-series, where {{OBP|Red|Origins}} is watching a televised battle between Gengar and Nidorino on his [[Television|TV]].

* When Ash speaks to Gary, Gary acts as though they have never met, saying "Well, you must be Ash"; however, they have in fact known each other since their early childhood.

* The order in which Ash opens the starters' empty Poké Balls indicates his preferred choices; namely, 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 it was the third to arrive for example, the Trainer to arrive fourth would find that Oak is fresh out of Pokémon, except for Pikachu.

* This is the only episode with Pikachu seen inside of his own [[Poké Ball]].

* Every scene of Pikachu shocking people was cut in the South Korean dub except when Pikachu shocks the whole group of Spearow and the bike.

** This caused confusion in the scene in which Ash is dragging Pikachu by the rope with rubber gloves on.

* As Delia catches the alarm clock Ash threw, her ponytail curls to her left shoulder. When she is seen from behind in the next shot, it is curled to her right shoulder.

* As Ash is running to Professor Oak to collect his first Pokémon, the top button on his pajamas changes from green to yellow.

* After Gary tells Ash that he has his Pokémon inside its Poké Ball, the order of [[Gary's cheerleaders]] reversed.

* When Ash sees the Spearow flock again after Misty tells him where the nearest Pokémon Center is, his shoes are not colored, making it look like he only has white socks on. Then, when he puts Pikachu on her bike, his shoes are colored normally.

* When Ash is standing in front of the Spearow trying to protect Pikachu, he says "Spearows," but the plural of a specific species of Pokémon is the same as the singular.

* When the people outside of Professor Oak's lab were cheering for Ash, The flag said "{{tt|ガンバレサトシ|Go for it, Satoshi}}" on the Japanese version. It was edited for English to "GO ASH GO".

* When Ash goes into Professor Oak's lab and looks at the Poké Balls, they are all labeled in Japanese. Later, when Ash picks up a Poké Ball, the labels are painted over. These labels are also partially visible when Pikachu's Poké Ball is revealed.  

* In the Japanese version, after Ash thanked {{an|Misty}}, she slapped him. This was cut from the [[dub]] (the screen freezes just as Ash answers Misty) due to physical violence. In the next scene, Ash can clearly be seen rubbing his aching face and Misty has her hand in the air.
