Script Error

"Porta Vista" is the English dub name for Aopulco, but in episode 19, it became the dub name for Hatoba because they were trying to pretend there never WAS an Aopulco.

When the English dub finally went back and aired "Beauty and the Beach" on June 24th, 2000, almost 2 years after episode 17 aired, they had to name THAT Porta Vista as well. In the English dub, episode 18 and 19 take place in the same resort.

Narrator (EP 17 English Dub): ...and arrive at the beautiful town of Porta Vista!
Narrator (EP 18 English Dub): Now our heroes have arrived at the beautiful resort island of Porta Vista...
Narrator (EP 19 English Dub): We find our heroes stranded at Porta Vista,

The English dub narrator states that Ash and his friends had a breathtaking roller coaster ride in Pokémon Land but doesn't mention them being lost in the jungle like the Japanese version.

English Dub Narrator: Last time, Ash and his friends ended their exploits in Pokémon Land with a breathtaking roller coaster ride, but trainers and Pokémon were happily reunited in a daring last minute leap of faith.

Japanese Narrator: Satoshi, the Pokémon, and the others had been scattered. Wandering and roaming about the jungle one way or another, they just barely managed to reunite.

Misty's line was completely changed to make it look like she was waiting for Ash and Brock. She also asks how the water is. The Japanese version has Kasumi referring to herself by her game title; the "Tomboyish Mermaid" (おてんば　にんぎょ) instead. This is one of the only times she refers to herself as the "Tomboyish Mermaid" in the anime.

Misty: I though you guys were going to wait for me by the snack bar. How's the water?
Kasumi: The idol of the beach, the Tomboyish Mermaid Kasumi-sama comes forth.

However, prefectures can have ordinances that prohibit sexual activities with any minor under 18."
