Quotes
Pokedex:
Ratata forages in the forest for fruits, roots, nuts, and berries.
Ash:
But this isn't a forest! It's an open field!
Pokedex:
They also come out to open fields to steal food from stupid travellers.
Ash:
D-Does that mean that... I'm stupid?
Pikachu:
Pika, pika, pika!
Goofs
Despite what the show frequently implies with Pikachu's attacks, electrical attacks can NEVER harm ground types.
Crazy Credits
First season has a "Poke Rap" segment prior to the end credits, combining the names of the (original 150) Pokemon into a rap-style song. There are 5 different segments like this total, adding up to the total 150. Home video releases featured the complete Poke Rap, combining all 5 parts.
Alternate Versions
The Netflix version edits out the "Who's That Pokemon" and "Pikachu's Jukebox" segments, whereas only the "Pokerap" segment is retained.
