• Serena narrates the preview of the next episode alone, while she and Ash read the title card and say the "Everyone, get Pokémon!" phrase together.

Errors

  Luxio's eyes error

Dub edits

• The title card segment focuses on, and is read by, Ash in the dub instead of Bonnie.
• Just like in past two episodes, Pokémon Theme (Version XY) begins in the beginning of the episode instead of appearing in the middle of the episode.
