Logo at the beginning of the segment

Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!! (Japanese: ひらめきゲット！Let's ポケなぞ！！ Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!) is a segment in the anime's Pokémon Journeys: The Series beginning in JN003, replacing the Poké Problem segment of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. The riddles are also posted weekly on the official Japanese anime Twitter account.

The riddles are created by University of Tokyo student Ryōgo Matsumaru, while the segment is presented by him as Riddle Trainer Matsumaru and the Duck Pokémon Psyduck. It is narrated by Sayaka Senbongi.

The position of the question and answer segments has changed between episodes:

From JN003 to JN015, the question is presented for 20 seconds at the very beginning of the episode, before the cold opening. Both the question and the answer are presented for 35 seconds at the very end, after the post-credits commercial break.
From JN016 to JN025, the question is presented for 35 seconds before the post-credits commercial break. The answer is presented for 20 seconds after the post-credits commercial break, with the question no longer being repeated.
Beginning in JN026, the question is presented for 35 seconds before the ending theme. The answer is presented for 20 seconds after the post-credits commercial break.

Like with its predecessor, the segment is omitted when episodes have promotions, are part of one-hour specials, or include movie promotions specials. However, the episode will have it included when the episodes subsequently air off-network in delay, in reruns on Kids Station, or on VOD services such as Prime Video and Hulu.
