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.

Kasumi is 10 years old according to PM003 which Kasumi states: "This is absolutely the worst morning I've had in my 10 years of life!". 8 years later she would be 18 years old. Wikipedia states: "The national age of consent in Japan is 13 as specified by the Japanese Penal Code Articles 176 and 177. However, prefectures can have ordinances that prohibit sexual activities with any minor under 18."

It's possible that the English crew were lazy and they not paint over most of the Japanese signs. After all, has anyone seen a professor speaking English holding a JAPANESE magazine, but still understanding it?

Summary:
Having just managed to escape from the uninhabited island, Satoshi and friends arrive at Aopulco, said to be the greatest resort in the world. Palm trees line up against beautiful beaches as far as the eye can see... and Satoshi and friends begin their vacation.
But as Satoshi rides around in a cruiser owned by old man Ryu, the proprietor of a beach shack, he ends up destroying it. And while Satoshi and friends start working part-time to pull in customers for him to cover the repair costs, his rival Obaba uses Musashi and Kojiro of the Rocket Gang to disturb his business.
Just then, Professor Okido and Satoshi's mother Hanako come by, being on a tour arranged by the neighborhood committee. At Professor Okido's suggestion, Satoshi and friends decide to hold a "Tanned Beauty and Masquerading Pokémon Contest"...

Maybe he learnt a lot of Japanese before he came.
