*The puzzle on the back of the box spells {{p|Ledyba}}'s name as "Ledy Ba" and {{p|Hoothoot}}'s name as "Hoot Hoot". This may have been a spelling error or simply a result of the North American names for Ledyba and Hoothoot not yet being finalised, as [[Generation II]] had not yet been revealed to North America at the time of this cereal's debut.
