Trivia

• In a first for core series promotional videos, the voice acting in these shorts is fully translated into English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
  • The voice acting is also fully translated into Dutch and Portuguese, despite the core series not being released in those languages.
  • Strangely, the Pokémon Hong Kong channel features the videos with full translated voice acting (in Mandarin for the Simplified Chinese version and Cantonese for the Traditional Chinese version), but the Pokémon Taiwan channel features the Traditional Chinese version but with voice acting still in the original Japanese.
