* The five split segments were placed into episodes based on their ''Japanese'' airing order. This caused problems during the show's time in first-run syndication; ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'' aired the "Thursday" segment despite falling into the Wednesday slot in the syndication cycles due to ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' initially being skipped, with ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'' airing the "Monday" and "Thursday" segments respectively despite falling into Thursday and Monday in the cycles due to [[Banned episodes|the loss]] of [[EP035]] and [[EP038]]. No attempt was ever made to correct this. | * The five split segments were placed into episodes based on their ''Japanese'' airing order.

** Had the entire first season aired in syndication, the last four episodes of the first season would have been bumped back a whole week in the syndication cycles due to ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' and ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'' being moved to the start of what was considered by Kids' WB the second season in the dub, thus somewhat correcting the problem due to the four episodes coming afterwards having the segments that corresponded to what would have been their days of the week in the cycle. | ** Had the entire first season aired in syndication, the last four episodes of the first season would have been bumped back a whole week in the syndication cycles due to ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' and ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'' being moved to the start of what was considered by Kids' WB the second season in the dub, thus somewhat correcting the problem due to the four episodes coming afterwards having the segments that corresponded to what would have been their days of the week in the cycle. | ||

* At the end of the Pokérap Day 4 segment at the end of [[EP044|The Problem With Paras]], the Kids' WB announcer at the time ({{wp|Jim Cummings}}) dubbed over the voice that normally tells the viewer to watch for more of the Pokérap with, "Tune in next week and watch Ash, Misty, and Brock on their quest to become Pokémon masters! Don't miss them, the new ones are now only on Kids' WB!". When this episode was rerun on {{wp|Cartoon Network}} and Boomerang, and even when uploaded onto {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Cartoon Network Video}}, the Kids' WB announcer's voice remained. Home video releases, streaming services, and Disney XD retain the voices telling the viewers to watch for more of the Pokérap. | * At the end of the Pokérap Day 4 segment at the end of [[EP044|The Problem With Paras]], the Kids' WB announcer at the time ({{wp|Jim Cummings}}) dubbed over the voice that normally tells the viewer to watch for more of the Pokérap with, "Tune in next week and watch Ash, Misty, and Brock on their quest to become Pokémon masters!
