Tropes
- Accidental Misnaming: Butch, yet again. Plus, everyone gets Dr. Namba's name wrong, while Jessie mispronounces "Hippopotas".
- Breaking the Fourth Wall:Butch: (asleep from Hippopotas' yawn) Those dummies deal with this every week.
- Call-Back: The wild Hippopotas from "Mass Hip-Po-Sis" makes another appearance, now with its father Hippowdon being targeted by Butch and Cassidy.
- Crazy-Prepared: Butch and Cassidy apparently made up a special motto just in case they cross paths with Jessie and James.
- Put on a Bus: This is the last time Butch and Cassidy appear before Pokémon Journeys, staying absent for nearly 14 years before returning.
- Running Gag: The Accidental Misnaming moments mentioned above.
- Shout-Out: One of the misnamings directed at Namba is Oompa.
