Trivia

File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png

The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode

• Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster: Mega Evolution
• Unlike the final episodes of the previous four series, the phrase Next Time... A New Beginning! is not used; instead being replaced with And to our own way in golden cursive writing, likely as a reference to the ending of the Pokémon X and Y games.
• Music from Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade is used as insert song when Ash, Bonnie, and Clemont separate with Serena in the airport.
• V (Volt) is used as the ending song, being played over clips of previous episodes (substituting the usual ending sequence).
• This episode was followed by a preview of Sun & Moon series.
• The Solrock and Lunatone souvenirs that Jessie and James drop at the airport are likely a reference to the Sun & Moon series.
• Professor Sycamore narrates the preview for the next episode.
• Ash's last battle in the Kalos region is against Clemont, which is a callback to the episode Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!, in which Ash has his first battle in Kalos against him as well.
• During the scenes between Ash's departure from Kalos and his return to Pallet Town, pieces of music from the original series are heard.
