EP117: Difference between revisions

* This episode's dub title is a reference to the old advertising {{wp|slogan}}, "don't touch that dial!"

* This is the only time that the first episode of a region aired before the game the region corresponds to was released in Japan: {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were not released in Japan until more than a month after this episode's first airing. Comparatively, [[Kanto]]'s first episode was aired more than a year after the release of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]]'s first episodes were first aired on the day of their corresponding games' release and [[Unova]]'s first episodes were first aired two weeks after the release of {{game|Black and White|s}}. In the United States, all episodes featuring the debut of a generation have aired shortly before the release of the corresponding games besides ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', which aired three weeks before the release of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 16: Totodile'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].

* The book ''[[Go West, Young Ash]]'' is based on this episode.
