Trivia
- The English title plays on the novel "The Age of Innocence".
- The screenplay is by Shinzō Fujita.
- This is a plot episode: it advances the Johto storyline.
- The Who’s That Pokémon? segment features Dragonite in Japan, where it almost always matched the episode, but Dunsparce in the US, where 4Kids picked the Pokémon at random.
Changes in the English Dub
- Car-crash shot with a Grunt thrown from a flipping car cut
- ‘s blast-off music briefly swapped. EP273’s Japanese flashback (M02 cue, 16 shots focused on Misty as a trainer) was replaced shot-for-shot by a 19-shot Ash/Misty-centred montage with the new vocal “Misty Most of All”. https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/comparisons/03_johto/ep273.html
