** Creator/VizMedia's own translation of the Generation I arcs were in the limbo for a while, until 2009, when they were reprinted, though even then, while the newer editions use the old translation as the basis, the older editions had some differences besides the left-to-right format that aren't represented in the newer releases.

** Satoshi Yamamoto has occasionally revealed behind-the-scene details about the manga's production [[https://twitter.com/satoshi_swalot through his Twitter account:]]
*** Kusaka originally conceived of the ''[=FireRedLeafGreen=]'' and ''Emerald'' arcs as self-contained stories, with the latter being purely about Emerald challenging the Battle Frontier and having NoAntagonist. However, [[ExecutiveMeddling the editor at the time wanted heavier drama and more connections between the arcs]]. As a result, the ''FRLG'' arc was given its infamous cliffhanger ending which was to be resolved in the ''Emerald'' arc, which now featured a BigBad in Guile Hideout. Sird's elevation as a villain, which would later end up as an AbortedArc, can also be attributed to this editorial mandate.

*** In the ''XY'' arc, Yamamoto was unsure if a panel of Lysandre and Malva bleeding on the ground would be accepted, and so he [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DYgYg8bVQAAWPM8?format=jpg&name=large had an alternate, bloodless version prepared just in case.]] However, the original panel ended up being accepted, which led many fans to believe Lysandre and Malva were dead until the full volume release expanded the scene and confirmed that they were not.
