- All original series episodes are based on the rental and rerun versions.
- All Best Wishes episodes were based on the versions when BW was still on Hulu Japan that were originally broadcasted by TV Tokyo.
- This included exclusive segments during its premiere on TV Tokyo (as thanks to sponsors), but which are subsequently deleted or modified to rental versions and reruns on networks such as Kids Station.
- BW022 had the original BW023 and BW024 preview when BW was still on Hulu Japan.
- The English captions of the episodes available in the United States have words that are capitalized incorrectly, such as names of humans and Pokémon and Pokémon moves.
