Trivia[]
- Who's That Pokémon? is Rotom (US, international, and Japan).

- This is the first time that two of Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Casters have been shown in a single episode.
- This is also the first time that a Live Caster has been shown outside of Japan.
- This episode marks the first time that Japanese text has been left in an episode since the Orange Islands saga.
