Trivia

  • This is the only season whose subtitle is not used within the episodes themselves. This is not counting the first two seasons, which were referred to simply as "Pokémon" during their original airings.
  • When Pokémon the Series: XY was on Netflix, Pokémon the Series: XY Kalos Quest was considered Season 2 of Pokémon the Series: XY, while Pokémon the Series: XYZ was considered a separate series, as with every other season of the anime.
