Trivia

• The 97th episode of the previous anime series also featured the antagonists of that generation's games, much as this episode features the antagonists of the current generation's games. AG097, however, had a cliffhanger leading into its second part, while this episode is the final part of the two-parter. The previous generation's arc, however, was the last appearance of the respective teams, while this arc, with four badges left for Ash to earn in Sinnoh, seems to merely be Team Galactic's biggest appearance yet.
