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)

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.].

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)

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)
