Dig Those Diglett - S1-E31

Character mistake: Brock states that the Diglett are plowing the ground and the Dugtrio are planting the trees, but the opposite is true (The Dugtrio are plowing, and the Diglett are planting).

Volcanic Panic - S1-E57

Character mistake: During the recap, the narrator says that Ninetales had defeated Squirtle by using Ember, but Blaine ordered it to use Fire Spin. [This error doesn't appear in the Japanese version.].

Suggested correction: Brock is saying that Kingler is vulnerable to attacks from the air, not that it is weak to Flying-type moves.

The Fourth Round Rumble - S1-E77

Character mistake: When Officer Jenny orders her Growlithe to attack Team Rocket's balloon, she refers to Growlithe as Arcanine. [This mistake happens only in the English version. In the Japanese version she refers to Growlithe correctly.]. (00:12:21)

Round One: Begin! - S1-E75

Character mistake: When Team Rocket first sees Mandi doing his magic tricks, he produces a bunch of Pidgey. Meowth says "I like those Pidgeotto." He's dealt with Ash's Pidgeotto on numerous occasions, so there's no reason that he shouldn't be able to tell the difference. [This mistake only appears in the English version. In the Japanese version Meowth doesn't even mention Pidgey nor Pidgeotto at all.] (00:04:49)

Showdown in Pewter City - S1-E5

Character mistake: When Brock's father takes Ash to Brock's house he tells him that Brock has ten younger brothers and sisters to take care of. But during Ash's second match against Brock you can see that Brock has nine younger brothers and sisters. You can even count them when they are all holding onto Ash to prevent him from continuing with his battle against Brock. (00:09:18)

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.

More trivia for Pokemon

Answer: There are a lot of fan theories around this, but the most common theme is that Pikachu had another trainer before Prof. Oak, who gave him to Ash. Pikachu didn't appreciate being handed over.

Answer: Well he had just caught him in the wild. Didn't even catch him with a traditional poke ball but like tied him up with a rope. So I would imagine so, yes.

You would imagine yes what? What are you talking about).

Sorry, I misread the question. I thought you were asking "DOES" he dislike Ash, not Why. It's been a while since I've seen the full episode. But from what I recall, Pikachu was wild, and Ash caught him through unconventional means without a pokeball. Tying him up with rope and stuff. So that's a good reason for any animal to not like someone when forced into a captive state in such a way.

Quantom X

That doesn't answer my question.
