History Recap / PokemonSnowWayOut

* InconsistentDub:
** While camping in an igloo, Team Rocket has matches with them to keep them warm, and one of Meowth's matches is turned into a candle in the English dub, and the next couple of scenes show Meowth lighting matches. Broadcast Standards and Practices might have not wanted to encourage children to play with matches, despite that matches were clearly shown and lit by Team Rocket.

* NeverTrustATrailer: The title in Japanese suggests the twerps use Onix as a bivouac, which is an open-air shelter for cold weather situations. Although Brock and Misty say they did that in the Japanese version, it is not seen at all. The episode instead focuses on Ash, who dug a snow cave, and Team Rocket, who built an igloo. In the dub, Onix dug in and discovered the hot springs from underground instead.

* InconsistentDub: For some reason, 4Kids decided to turn Team Rocket's matches into candles. They never smoked, so there was no real ratings reason for 4Kids to censor out the matches. The result was pathetic little birthday candles that burned out way too fast.

* ThatsAnOrder: Ash insists that Pikachu go into his Pokéball for his own safety, but he's still not convinced.

* ThinkHappyThoughts: Team Rocket tries this to cope with the cold. This causes them to nearly fall asleep, so Meowth has to wake them up so they don't freeze to death.

!!Tropes:

* CatchYourDeathOfCold: In the original Japanese, the TrueCompanions scene plays out slightly different, with Ash telling his Pokémon that he won't show any sympathy if they catch a cold.

* AnachronicOrder: This episode was supposed to air around where "Pikachu's Goodbye" was slotted, but ended up airing much later in the season. As a result, an episode with Charmander aired during the period when it should've been a Charmeleon un the US, and Charizard in Japan.

* TrueCompanions: Pikachu and Ash's other Pokemon refuse to stay in their pokeballs, where they'd be safer, preferring to stay with Ash in the cold.
* UndyingLoyalty: All of Ash's Pokemon toward him. They refuse to leave his side when he commands them to return to their Pokeballs for warmth and safety and they insist on helping to keep him warm. Of note, this is particularly well illustrated with Charmander and Pidgeotto--Charmander refuses to stop warming the others with his tail despite the fact that he's draining his own energy and Pidgeotto disobeys Ash for the very first time, simply to keep him safe.

* ExcitedTitle: Not the first title with an exclamation point in the dub, but the excited way Ash reads the title card is notable.
