* ContrivedCoincidence: For Keith's plan to steal Misty's Pokémon to work, not only did he need to have the exact same make and color of backpack, but had it filled with rocks that were just the right size as weight to match the backpack's. We later learn he didn't know how many Pokéballs Misty had, meaning it's just luck that she didn't realize her backpack was swapped until she emptied it.
