Bye Bye Butterfree - S1-E21

Other mistake: When Brock says, "Yeah. The season of love is when Butterfree lay their eggs," two Butterfree occasionally are missing feet, and another one occasionally has a part of its wings mistakenly colored black instead of white. (00:01:49)

The March of the Exeggutor Squad - S1-E41

Other mistake: The Pokemon Exeggcute is shown evolving in to an Exeggutor naturally. But the Pokemon Exeggcute can only evolve into an Exeggutor with the use of a leaf stone. In the Japanese version, there is a mention that something in these woods causes Exeggcute to evolve without using the Leaf Stone (when Exeggcute evolves, James even mentions that there is no stone). However, as this was skipped in the English version, it creates a plot hole.

Friends to the End - S1-E80

Other mistake: Assunta's Ivysaur attacks Sparky too early, before the battle even started, not to mention Assunta haven't given it any commands during the battle.

A Shipful of Shivers - S2-E14

Other mistake: When Team Rocket is running away with the trophy, James falls flat on the ground, and an indentation of his body as well as the trophy is made. The indentation shows a perfect match to the trophy, but James' arms were partially covering it, so there shouldn't be a perfect indent of the trophy in the ground. (00:05:18)

Flower Power - S3-E6

Other mistake: During the second battle with Team Rocket, James tells Victreebel to use Take Down, but it actually uses Swords Dance. This error is corrected in the Polish dub. (00:18:08)

Spinarak Attack - S3-E7

Other mistake: When Jessie instructs Meowth to unlock the door to a building, there are five lines on the latter's charm instead of four. Also, the former's right glove goes from absent to appearing. (00:02:11)

A Differently Colored Yorunozuku! Catch It!! - S3-E38

Other mistake: When the Pokédex tells facts on Noctowl, Ash's right ring finger and the one above lack a separating line, making it appear as if they are fused together. Also, the angle created by the screen and the identifier is a 130° angle, but in the next shot, it is a 170° angle. Additionally, Ash's right index finger is at the top of the section with the screen, but in the next shot, it is more in the centre. (00:02:08)

Show generally

Other mistake: During the Pokérap, when the Poliwrath name is said, the Pokémon shown is actually Poliwag. Also, when the Graveler name is said, the Pokémon shown is actually Geodude.

Trivia: During the Pokérap that appears after some episodes, nearly all of the Pokémon shown are the actual creatures, but Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Rhydon, Zapdos, and Kabutops that are shown are machines from Pokémon Island. Also, when Kabuto is shown, it isn't actually a Kabuto but Bill in Kabuto's costume.
