Trivia

Roxie is the first Gym Leader who made her anime debut prior to the game she was in, Pokémon Black 2 and White 2.
There was a moment similar to IL014: Electric Shock Showdown where trainers were being beaten one after another by Roxie.
The effect of poison has the same visual as the effect of paralysis in the anime, only purple.
Who's that Pokémon?: Koffing (US).
This is the second time Koffing was featured in "Who's that Pokémon?" in the English version. The first time was way back in IL002: Pokémon Emergency!
