==Trivia==
*[[List of Japanese ending themes]]
* Starting with [[We Will Be Heroes]], the main opening themes started to include credits.
*[[List of Japanese opening themes]]
* A version of the opening theme for each season also serves as the ending theme for that season:
** From [[S01|Pokémon: Indigo League]] (starting from ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'') till [[S08|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 [[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]], part of the rap section of {{so|Pokémon Go!}} served as the ending theme, played with the credits being shown over a black background.
** From [[S10|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.
