* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Ash is supposed to be an {{Arrogant Kung Fu Guy}} with {{Aesop Amnesia}} in regards to not training, but his Bulbasaur beats most of his opponents because the Seed Pokémon was used in Kanto and the Orange Islands and has a ton of experience. If not for {{New Powers as the Plot Demands}}, Bulbasaur would have beaten Skippy ''easily''.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Jessie enlists Meowth into the tournament, disguising him as a Sunflora to get past the Grass-type restrictions. Due to Ash's overconfidence, and no one anticipating a Sunflora with Meowth's attacks, Meowth actually dominates Bulbasaur for most of the match, only losing when his disguise is blown.
