Trivia
File:Title Card XY Ash.png
The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode
- Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster: Spewpa
- This episode was originally scheduled to air on May 29, 2014 as part of a one-hour special alongside XY029, but it was pushed up one week after the postponement of An Undersea Place to Call Home!, and aired separately.
- The next episode preview is narrated by James, Jessie, Meowth and Ash.
- For the TV Tokyo airing, instead of the normal preview, a special preview of XY029, XY030, Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, XY031 and XY032 was shown.
- This is the first time a male Meowstic appeared in the anime.
- Several running gags from the XY series are played differently for the first time in this episode.
- Clemont does not use his Aipom arm to grab Bonnie after she asks Diantha if she could marry him.
- Clemont's invention works correctly without exploding.
- Ash does not get excited after seeing said invention.
- As Jessie's Wobbuffet is absent in this episode, it does not appear in the motto sequence.
Errors
- When the exhibition match is about to begin, Diantha is on the left side of the screen instead of the right.
- In the Pokémon Quiz segment, the description of Gardevoir's type stands to be pure Psychic-type Pokémon (Generation III-V), rather than being dual type Psychic/Fairy Pokémon (Generation VI-onwards).
- When Clemont is using his invention to cut the cake into six pieces, Diantha's shadow skin color seems to be more dark brown instead being colored dark beige.
- When Gardevoir was about to Mega Evolve, its legs were colored green instead of white.
- In the Pokémon Holo Caster segment, when Professor Oak in a Fletchinder costume is about to scare a Spewpa, the light gray color on its back head along with the khaki-colored triangle are completely colored dark-gray, and the two dots on its face are colored black.
