* Although in the games, Ponyta's height is just {{tt|3'03"|1m}} in height (probably measured like regular horses are, at the shoulder), the one featured in this episode appears [[Size discrepancies in the Pokémon anime|much taller]]. This was likely done to make it appear tall enough to be ridden by a person.

* At the beginning and the end of the episode, the Narrator states that they are in the Safari Zone. However, they are on the Laramie Ranch, part of the Pokémon Reserve. This is probably because the episode where the group was actually in the Safari Zone, [[EP035]], was skipped in the dub.

* In the English dub, after {{p|Electrode}} explodes, as {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} run up to {{Ash}}, Squirtle says "Zeni Zeni!" instead of "Squirtle Squirt!", implying that the line was not dubbed over by mistake. Also, right before it uses its {{m|Smog}} attack towards {{p|Ponyta}}, {{TP|James|Weezing}}'s Japanese voice can be heard.
