Poké Problem
Viewers could answer the Poké Problem with their remotes during the airing of SM003 and SM004, which aired as a one-hour special, to take part in a lottery of five Pokémon Z-Ring & Z-Crystal Special Sets. During the airing of SM009 viewers could take part in a lottery of ten MonCollé GET Monster Balls Filled With Voices and MonCollé GET Pikachu figures.
3 points are given to viewers who get the answer right, and 1 point to viewers who get the answer wrong. If the viewer collects 10 points during one lottery period a password will appear which can be used as a entry for the lottery. Viewers can then reset the score and start collecting again for another entry for the lottery.
Plot overview and introduction of the characters
