* A meta example, but Creator/AndrewRannells had a pretty awful experience playing James for the show. While he did enjoy auditioning with the actors and such since they were nice people, he felt ashamed and humiliated for playing the character mainly due to having to imitate the same voice that Creator/EricStuart uses for James, to which Rannells found extremely offensive because it sounded like to him an over-the-top CampGay impression, which doesn't help for him since he's a gay man and felt like he was painting a bad image of the gay community by doing the role. While discussing about it in his 2019 memoir, ''Too Much is Not Enough: A Memoir of Fumbling Toward Adulthood'', he mentioned that one of the worst parts of the tour was having to perform at the Indianapolis State Fair Coliseum, which was an arena used for hockey games and it was freezing cold during when the show was playing, and he and Heidi Weyhmueller (The actress who played Misty) had to huddle together wrapped in a blanket to stay warm. And during when they were backstage while the show was playing and they were huddling together, the experience was so dreadful to them both that they both cried and were even driven to drink after every show, and Rannells even stated that was the first time he ever had a blackout from drinking.

* "My Best Friends" is a little awkward and sad since Misty and Brock have left the show and the original voice actors were replaced.

* After Ash surrenders to Team Rocket and is taken to Giovanni, Delia blames herself.

* Delia's real reason for worrying about Ash isn't just because she's afraid of not knowing him, or even that she's worried about Team Rocket--it's that she used to date Giovanni and is scared of how he'll take the news.

-->'''Professor Oak:''' Would you really prefer Ash to remain a little boy forever?\\

* The "Finale" starts out somber at first before becoming triumphant.

** By now this also counts as HilariousInHindsight, since Ash in the anime has yet to reach 11...

* The song "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki0jg8sbLyc The Time Has Come]]".

* [=MechaMew2=]'s story is quite sad. It was created as a replacement for the original Mewtwo. Its sole purpose was to be a weapon, and it wasn't given the ability to talk or even think on its own until [[spoiler:Mewtwo showed it Ash's memories]].

* The song "I've Got A Secret".

* "Misty's Song" is even sweeter/sadder than the ''2BA Master'' version.

* The Finale starts out somber at first before becoming triumphant.

'''[=MechaMew2=]:''' You didn't give me a lot of things, but you ''did'' give me the ability to learn. And I have. From the boy, I've learned about love and true goodness. His heart is pure. His love for Pokemon and his friends and family is real. I've learned right from wrong, and I've learned which one ''you'' are. Now I know what I must do. Something else I learned... ''Self Destruct''.

* The first version of "Everything Changes."

* Ash's talk with his mom in the last scene is one of the heartwarming kind.
