* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: When Meowth is upset over his missing charm, Chansey brings him a bunch of random items, with the last one being a Venonat. In Japanese, this is because his charm is called a ''koban'' and she's bringing him things that rhyme with the word (a rice bowl/''gohan'', a Go board/''goban'', a police substation/''kōban'' and a Venonat/''Kongpang''). But since this doesn't work in English, instead it seems like the joke is that Chansey is bringing him a Venonat because she's given up and has no idea what he wants.

* AluminumChristmasTrees:
** Some overseas viewers have expressed confusion at the hospital being closed and only having one doctor. But in Japan, hospitals aren't open 24 hours a day and they tend to have very little staff outside their normal operating hours.
** Doctor Proctor using superglue to treat injured Pokémon may seem like a particularly blatant case of ArtisticLicenseMedicine, even if one makes allowances for the fact that he's used to practicing on humans. However, superglue does have legitimate medicinal applications and is used in both human and veterinary medicine.



* RetroactiveRecognition: In the English dub, Doctor Proctor is voiced by Creator/JDavidBrimmer making his voice acting debut. He would later voice the likes of [[Franchise/OnePiece Crocodile,]] [[Manga/YuGiOh Odion/Rishid]] and even come back to Pokémon as [[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesDiamondAndPearl Crasher Wake]] and [[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY Wulfric.]]

* StrawmanHasAPoint: While the episode treats Doctor Proctor's protest against having his hospital commandeered as bad (and his casual attitude is admittedly cruel), he's absolutely right - he's a physician, not a veterinarian (or the Pokémon equivalent). He has little knowledge about their reactions to certain medicines or proper temperatures, if he had to do a major operation there would be no guarantee that he would have the faintest idea which major organs did what, never mind that a large number of the Pokémon are very dangerous and hard to control (Ash and company had to use their own Pokémon to subdue several of them, and one ended up accidentally sedating Doctor Proctor himself). If anything, he's being more responsible than the trio or Nurse Joy.
