Name source
Where did this name come from? I checked the official sites and it only mentioned, Pokémon the Series XY, similar to last season's omitting the Kalos Quest in the title card. PattyMan 23:31, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

- iTunes also calls every Advanced Generation season "Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire". --HoennMaster 18:10, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- They use Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire as only a prefix (for lack of a better word) for all the seasons based on the respective series. The season titles themselves retain their original names. I guess they wanted to go for a consistent naming convention that matches with the respective generation's main series games, instead of the stand-alone original names, hence the addition of Pokémon the Series in the names. Though, that is just my assumption on the subject. And it is not just the case with iTunes, but Beyond has also been releasing the DVD sets under the new names. So far, we have only seen AG and DP getting "new" names. Anyway, the source is good enough for this season's title. The name change for the previous seasons will most likely be acknowledged in their respective trivia sections (yet to be finalized). Adyniz — Wanna talk? 20:19, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- The subtitle of "Pokémon the Series" is the dub name of the series; previously, these were only named in the Japanese name, but the English distributors have gone back and started retroactively naming them. So far, only Pokémon the Series: Ruby & Sapphire (known as the Advanced Generation series in Japanese) and Pokémon the Series: Black & White (known as the Best Wishes! series in Japanese) have received this treatment; I'm not sure why Adyniz believes DP also got named, but I haven't seen it. So far, Beyond has only released a single non-XY DVD set with "Pokémon the Series", that being the RS one. BW was only named recently (to my knowledge), and is used on Netflix (I don't have a Netflix account, so I can't check how they've set it up).
- What you're seeing on iTunes in that screenshot for RS episodes is the series name then the season name, separated by a "dash" (it's actually a hyphen, but being used as a dash). --SnorlaxMonster 15:58, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
- By DP, I was referring to this. Its description says: "INCLUDES ALL 189 EPISODES FROM POKEMON THE SERIES: DIAMOND AND PEARL". Also, I forgot about BW's renaming. Adyniz — Wanna talk? 16:06, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

S18? Really?
Why is this page still called S18 and not Pokemon the Series: XY Kalos Quest? --TheMaskedMeowth (talk) 20:14, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
