Pokemon Emergency! - S1-E2

Other mistake: When Nurse Joy says, "Transporting Poké Balls," the screen changes between shots. Also, the land and water have their colours reversed with the cities appearing on water instead of land. (00:14:45)

Suggested 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.

Suggested correction: His nose isn't seen because he is far away from the camera.

Mystery at the Lighthouse - S1-E13

Other mistake: When Bill says, "A meaning for all Pokémon, and a meaning all of us humans too," a Sandslash on a screen has an entirely yellow head and has black pupils with white sclerae. Sandslash actually have the lower part of their head coloured cream and have their white pupils with black sclerae. (00:14:01)

Trivia: During the Pokérap that appears after some episodes, nearly all of the Pokémon shown are the actual creatures, but Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Rhydon, Zapdos, and Kabutops that are shown are machines from Pokémon Island. Also, when Kabuto is shown, it isn't actually a Kabuto but Bill in Kabuto's costume.

Question: This is a question for the XYZ series. I can't figure out if Alain is a good guy or a bad guy. He acts like he is good but I am not so sure if he really is. Can anyone tell me if he is good or bad?

Answer: He is a good guy but just found himself in a bad situation when he worked for Lysander. He didn't want him to harm Ash and his Pokémon when he was trying to get the special bond between Ash and his Greninja to work. He does leave Lysander and go back to being a good person.
