Trivia
- While Vinnie (whose name starts with "V") is battled when the player is at Rank V, Vinnie's rank itself is "???" and not Rank V, and his name only starts with V in English and German.
- Although Vinnie's rank is displayed as "???", it is internally identified in the game's code as Rank G.
- When defeated, Vinnie reveals he had only just added his Buneary to his team, hence explaining why it has not evolved like with the rest of his party.
