* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: The special seemed to be testing the waters on if a Pokémon series that didn't star [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries didn't star Ash]] would be profitable. Considering it wouldn't be until ''Anime/PokemonHorizonsTheSeries'' would Ash finally be replaced as the protagonist, apparently it wasn't that successful at the time.

Unlike most episodes of the ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokémon]]'' anime, the typical main characters Ash, Pikachu, Brock, and Misty did not appear at all. However, Vincent would go on to become one of Ash's opponents during the Johto League (though he was renamed Jackson there), making ''The Legend of Thunder!'' canon to the main series.
