====Pokémon Sunday ending animation====
The first animation sequence in this version is {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Brock}} calling out their Pokémon to attack. Those Pokémon are {{TP|May|Combusken}}, {{AP|Grovyle}}, and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}.
The next group of animations are the same as in the main opening (Ash and Pikachu running through the field, through the pan shot of Ash and all of his Pokémon). However, the differences in these animations are that ending credits replace the ones used in the opening. Also, the scene of [[Scott]] waving while driving past is replaced by a pan shot of all of the [[Frontier Brains]]. The animation sequence following this include portions of the first Frontier Brain battle between Ash and [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]], which involved {{AP|Charizard}} and Noland's {{p|Articuno}}. After this, the normal animations resume, starting from the sequence involving Brock chopping up lettuce and cooking rice, and May throwing a [[Poké Ball]]. The {{TRT}} sequence prior to [[AG152]] (with {{p|Weavile}}) remains intact. This is followed by the {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Lucario}} flyby animation, as was the case in the first version of this opening. Unlike the original ending though, the group silhouette is replaced with the Frontier Brain reveal.

Ash and Pikachu are in a field running toward the sun and they jump. The gang are in a forest playing happily, except May. There are flashbacks of Mimey, Delia Ketchum, Professor Oak, Professor Birch, Tracey, and Misty holding an Azurill. Ash's Pokémon are seen using their attacks and they all take a photo.

The first animation sequence in this version is Ash, May, and Brock calling out their Pokémon to attack. Those Pokémon are Combusken, Grovyle, and Mudkip.

The next group of animations are the same as in the main opening (Ash and Pikachu running through the field, through the pan shot of Ash and all of his Pokémon). However, the differences in these animations are that ending credits replace the ones used in the opening. Also, the scene of Scott waving while driving past is replaced by a pan shot of all of the Frontier Brains.
