Ash wonders if the forest even has a name. Brock looks at his map and finds out that they are in the Ilex Forest. Misty thinks the place is a bit creepy.

Title Pun: A Farfetched Tale

Episode Goofs

In the dub, the shrine in the middle of the forest was called the "Spirit Of The Forest". In the unedited version, it was [called] the "God Of The Forest".

In the original, when Brock talks about the uses of charcoal, he explains that he uses charcoal to make his rice balls. Brock explains that the rice comes from Pewter City, the water comes from Mt. Moon, and that the charcoal comes from the forest. He says that placing charcoal in the rice makes the rice taste better.

Misty sent out all of her Pokémon to look for Farfetch'd, but she did not send out Staryu, even though it can walk on land. She also did not send out Goldeen, for obvious reasons.

Yosaku is Sylvester's dad in the dub, while he is actually Sylvester's master in the original.
