Lorelei's name was changed to '''Prima''' in the English version of the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. According to [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]], this was to fit the amount of syllables; the English name "Lorelei" is three syllables while the Japanese name "Kanna" is only two.

After Ash insisted once again, Lorelei finally agreed to a battle - that Ash lost horribly. Lorelei said that Ash had the potential to become great, but needed to find more inner strength, since he had forgotten what really connecting with his Pokémon was.

Lorelei had a sort of dreamy, spaced-out personality and often reacted slowly to things. Her strategy in life is to go with the flow, like water, but to become as hard as ice in battle.
