Notes
- The character Vincent (originally named Junichi in the Japanese version) originally appeared in Pokémon episodes 266-271; in the English dub of these episodes, he was named Jackson. Either this was forgotten by 4Kids and/or they thought that the character appearing was a different character.
- Hun, who was originally male in the original Japanese version, is changed to female in the English dub. Many believe his gender was changed to female due to his feminine voice and androgynous appearance. However, he is never directly mentioned in dialogue as either male or female; the only pronouns referring to him are those used collectively with Attila, such as "those men" or "those guys".
- Lola, Brock's mother makes her first appearance here. In the English-language dub of Episode 5 of the original series, Flint claimed that Brock's mother passed away. However, this was not the case in the original Japanese version, and no attempt is made to rectify the mistake in the dub.
- The series has yet to see any home video release in the United States.
