Corrected entry: When Meowth comments that Victreebel's Sleep Powder works well, James closes his eyes, tilts his head up, and says "Yes, we're a knockout combination." As he says this, his nose inexplicably grows to about ten times its normal length, but goes back to normal after he says the line.
Correction: It's pretty obvious that this was done on purpose for comedic effect (growing noses are usually an homage to "Pinocchio"), and thus is not really a mistake. Remember, this is a hand-drawn show, so it's not like the animators would simply overlook a very noticeable detail like this.
Correction: Agree with the other correction. Dropping details, such as facial features like a nose or mouth, and simplifying character designs is a very common and encouraged drawing/animation technique to imply distance. This isn't something the animators would just overlook. It was a deliberate decision. Ash and Misty similarly look somewhat less detailed than they do in closer shots. At best, this would be a deliberate mistake, but I personally think it falls under the umbrella of "suspension of disbelief" and shouldn't be considered a mistake given it's a stylistic choice to imply distance.
