Differences between the series and manga[]

  • Ash Ketchum's clothes were completely different from the anime and it appears to be more like based on Red's attire from the video game series.

Trivia[]

  • The scene from "To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!" in the Hot Springs that showed Misty naked was completely removed by VIZ Media in North America, due to containing adult content and nudity, which is considered unsuitable for international audiences.
