Other mistake: Assunta's Ivysaur attacks Sparky too early, before the battle even started, not to mention Assunta haven't given it any commands during the battle.
Island of the Giant Pokemon - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: When Jessie says, "Well, you can use a good workout," the window frame in front of her and James is black, but in the next scene, it is instantly cream. (00:13:31)
Continuity mistake: When Misty says, "Great, just keep it away from me, will ya?" the Poké Ball Ash is holding has one ring on it, but in the next shot it has two. (00:02:42)
Island of the Giant Pokemon - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: When James says, "Look over there!" there is a phone booth with no wire attached to it, but in the next scene, a wire is attached. (00:03:21)
Electric Shock Showdown - S1-E14
Continuity mistake: When Ash picks up the Thunder Stone, his belt buckle is brown and black, but in the next scene, it is instantly grey and black. (00:11:13)
So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd - S1-E47
Continuity mistake: When Team Rocket takes off in the boat, it sinks. Their pokeballs float away, and Jessie says "Arbok and Lickitung are floating away!" But she doesn't catch Lickitung until Princess Versus Princess (Season 1, Episode 52).
Other mistake: During the Poke-rap when the Poliwrath name is said, the Pokemon shown is actually Poliwag. Also, when the Graveler name is said, the Pokemon shown is actually Geodude.
Character mistake: Brock states that the Diglett are plowing the ground and the Dugtrio are planting the trees, but the opposite is true (The Dugtrio are plowing, and the Diglett are planting).
The Ninja Poke-Showdown - S1-E32
Factual error: When Venonat uses Stun Spore, Ash tells Bulbasaur to use Whirlwind. Bulbasaur just blows the powder away with his mouth, but he doesn't use the Whirlwind attack. He can't learn Whirlwind in any of the games, and what Whirlwind is supposed to do is to blow the opposing Pokemon away. Ash could have just as easily told Bulbasaur to blow it away, but he instead chose to tell him to use a move that he can't possibly learn. The only Pokemon that can learn Whirlwind are either Flying types or Bug types; i.e., Pokemon with wings (with the exception of Makuhita and Hariyama, which weren't introduced until generation III, and did not exist at the time this episode aired). In The School of Hard Knocks (Season 1, Episode 9), a character mentions information regarding a Pokemon's levels, attacks, and information which is taken straight out of the game, so it's very clear that Bulbasaur should not be able to use Whirlwind. [This is a result of mistranslation. In the original, Japanese version Ash orders Bulbasaur to "blow it away." He didn't say Whirlwind. Still a mistake in the English version.]
Pokemon, I Choose You! - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When the capsule containing the three pokeballs first opens up, you can see the names of the Pokemon etched into the balls (in Japanese). But when Ash picks them up, the names are gone.
Other mistake: Larvitar's weight is 158.7lb, but Ash can carry it in his backpack without any problems.
Plot hole: Officer Jenny asks Ash what he knows about the "trio" when he tells her that the pirates are likely Team Rocket, but he hadn't said anything about there being three of them before that. And Jenny obviously didn't know anything about Team Rocket, either. (00:05:30)
The March of the Exeggutor Squad - S1-E41
Other mistake: The Pokemon Exeggcute is shown evolving in to an Exeggutor naturally. But the Pokemon Exeggcute can only evolve into an Exeggutor with the use of a leaf stone. In the Japanese version, there is a mention that something in these woods causes Exeggcute to evolve without using the Leaf Stone (when Exeggcute evolves, James even mentions that there is no stone). However, as this was skipped in the English version, it creates a plot hole.
Character mistake: During the recap, the narrator says that Ninetales had defeated Squirtle by using Ember, but Blaine ordered it to use Fire Spin. [This error doesn't appear in the Japanese version.].
Character mistake: When Mandy brings out Golbat, Brock says "Kingler is really weak to air attacks." But Kingler's a Water type, which has no weakness to Flying type attacks.
Hiwada Gym! Forest Battlefield!! - S3-E28
Character mistake: Ash's Chikorita is knocked out by Bugsy's Metapod in the Gym battle against him. Brock mentions that Ash's remaining Pokemon are Cyndaquil and Pikachu, and Ash says "I'll save Chikorita for later, and use Pikachu now." However, Chikorita is the Pokemon that was just defeated, and Ash's remaining Pokemon is actually Cyndaquil as mentioned by Brock.
Factual error: When we see that Dodrio's neck is tangled, the configuration doesn't make sense. It just looks like two bands of neck, but it doesn't reflect what it would actually look like if it was really tangled.
Plot hole: After Ritchie tells Misty that he never talked to them through a phone, Misty could have put two and two together and realised that Ash was told to go somewhere by someone impersonating Ritchie and that he might be in serious danger. However, she does absolutely nothing to help Ash, she doesn't even inform Brock about it.
Continuity mistake: When Jessie says, "Guess we woke up this sleepy dump," she has lipstick on, but the next scene shows her immediately having no lipstick.
Pokemon, I Choose You! - S1-E1
Audio problem: When Delia Ketchum says, "Oh, Ash, I'm so proud of you," the items that the Pallet Town townspeople are holding aren't being moved, however, the sound from banging of those items is heard. (00:07:35)
Answer: There are a lot of fan theories around this, but the most comman theme is that Pikachu had another trainer before Prof. Oak, who gave him to Ash. Pikachu didn't appreciate being handed over.
