Trivia
- This is the final episode of the Diamond & Pearl series.
- Similar to the final episodes of the previous two series, the usual To be continued is replaced with Next time... A new beginning!. However, unlike the previous two series which ended with Ash leaving Kanto, this series ends with Ash returning to Pallet Town.
- The Japanese title references the name of the series, as well as the games on which the series is based.
- The credits play before the series ends with a scene between Ash and Brock and a scene of Ash and Pikachu alone. It features scenes of various events throughout the series.
- This is the only final episode of a region not to feature a Pokémon from the next generation; in this case, no Generation V Pokémon appeared.
- No Generation V Pokémon have appeared at all in the Diamond & Pearl series, excluding Zorua and Zoroark as they appeared in the thirteenth movie.
- This episode features Oración from The Rise of Darkrai, Together2007, music from Arceus and the Jewel of Life, Tears, After the Cloudy Weather and an instrumental of In Your Heart, LaLaLa.
- An instrumental of the ending song In Your Heart, LaLaLa was used as the music for the sponsors at the end of the episode instead of an instrumental of High Touch!, which had been used even when the opening was changed to The Greatest - Everyday! in January 2010.
Errors

- J's Salamence's chin is miscolored green in Team Rocket's fantasy.
