- Pop-Culture Urban Legends: It's commonly spouted that in the Japanese version Butterfree die after breeding, but dubbers censored it. This comes from a misunderstanding: Brock says that Butterfree won't have any "shison" (offspring) if it doesn't leave. Some fans misundestood it as "shishou" (casualities/injuries and death).
