Trivia / South Park S 3 E 11 Chinpokomon

• Banned in China: The episode was removed from the Japanese dub due to its cruel jokes and stereotypes about Japanese people and culture. It came under fire from both Nintendo of Japan (as they saw the parody to their new flagship IP as heartless and tasteless) as well as several right-wing groups in the country, in particular because of the references to Hirohito and bombing Pearl Harbor.
• Blooper: There’s one instance where Lambtron is referred to as “Lambtor”.
• Meaningful Release Date: Aired one week before the US release of Pokémon: The First Movie.
• Write Who You Know: The Japanese men telling the parents about how small their penises were was based on a friend of a friend of Trey Parker's who actually insisted that Matt Stone touch his penis to prove how small it was.
