Note

This episode never aired in Western countries due to possible offensive scenes where Satoshi (Ash) dresses up as a Nagetukesaru (Passimian), complete with face makeup resembling "Blackface", a racist stereotype.

Note

Netflix Korea lists the English title for this episode as "A Touchdown For The Team!" with the description: "Ash takes a trip to the marketplace and meets the local group of Passimians, who have a rivalry with the Akala Island Passimians."
