Trivia

• Starting with We Will Be Heroes, the animated series opening themes started to include credits.
• A version of the opening theme for each season also serves as the ending theme for that season:
  • From Pokémon: Indigo League (starting from Princess vs. Princess) till Pokémon: Advanced Battle, a shortened version of the opening theme with vocals is used. The ending animation consists of a split screen with scenes from the opening theme on one side and the credits on a black background on the other side.
  • For Pokémon: Battle Frontier, part of the rap section of Pokémon Go! served as the ending theme, played with the credits being shown over a black background.
  • From Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl onwards, an instrumental version of the opening theme is used as the ending theme. Till Pokémon the Series: XYZ, the ending animation consisted of the credits over a black background.
  • Pokémon the Series: XY used a different instrumental in the credits.
  • From Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon onwards, the ending animation features scenes from the corresponding Japanese ending theme.
  • In the Asian release of the English dub of Pokémon Horizons: Season 2—The Search for Laqua, the instrumental version of My Favorite Pokémon is replaced as the ending theme with Make You Shine (English Ver.).
