I was re-watching the series and noticed this big mistake. I thought I missed Jessie catching the lickitung, then looked up she catches it in episode 52: Princess Vs Princess. So I decided to watch that first before episode 49, So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd.. Can't do it because Togepi is already hatched in Princess Vs Princess and not in episode 49, in which Misty leaves the egg and the others' backpacks when she tries to follow the Farfetch'd.
To me, that is a big mistake. I don't think it's the people who dubbed the series' fault. Since Togepi was hatched after episode 49 (episode 50 Togepi was hatched)....and episode 52 is when Jessie officially captures lickitung not before episode 49, isn't it the writers/animators fault for adding the third pokeball in the water? Because either way if this episode was suppose to air later....that is still before Togepi was hatched...so episode 52 could never be aired before Togepi ... man, this is messed up lol..
I know its way too old to even worry about, but it isn't just a minor mistake.
I just wanted to put my two sense in lol.
