Trivia
- The first four English dub episodes of this season aired exactly one year after the Japanese originals.
- The Italian version of the theme used a scene from EP035.
- During this season, the narrator refers to the group as being "On the road to Johto". Though it would be more correct to say "On the road through Johto", he could have just been referring to the Johto League. He also states this through Pokémon: Johto League Champions and Pokémon: Master Quest.
- The tentative title of this season was "Pokémon GS".
- The Johto Journeys did not air in Denmark, along with Johto League Champions.
