* [=~Name's The Same~=]: Both Jimmy and Vincent share their names with NPC trainers from Gold and Silver, just like many other characters; however, they are unique in that the shared name trait applies in both English and Japanese, and to the same trainers as well!

** Marina shares her English name with a Colosseum Leader from Battle Revolution.

* TheOtherDarrin: [[strike:Eusine's]] Eugene's voice actor was changed from {{Ted Lewis}} to {{Dan Green}}. Vincent was played by Kevin Kolak (in the special) and Jackson by Anthony Salerno (in the original anime).

* [=~Hey, It's That Voice!~=]: SeanSchemmel plays Jimmy. Using his [[DragonBall Goku]] voice.

* ShesAManInJapan: Hun
** Subversion in that he's also a man in the US script. It's just that someone DidNotDoTheResearch and assigned a female voice actor for him.
