Trivia

File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png
The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode
  • Poké TV: "Pokémon Unbelievable" focusing on Ash's Greninja and its Ash-Greninja form.
  • No one reads the title card of this episode.
  • Ash and Wulfric narrate the preview for the next episode.
  • Ash's Greninja remains outside of its Poké Ball for the entire episode.
  • A remix of XY&Z is used as background music in this episode.
  • As of this episode, Serena has been in her current outfit for more episodes than her original outfit.
  • The backpack Ash wore as a child, as seen in the flashbacks, has the same color scheme as the one he used in the original series.
  • The sound of a Mega Evolved Pokémon reverting back to its regular form is used when Ash-Greninja returns back to its normal form.
  • This episode's dub title is a reference to the saying "missing the forest for the trees".

Errors

  • Like in Championing a Research Battle! when Greninja gets ready to reach its final Ash-Greninja form, the star shape on its leg is cream instead of blue for a split second.
  • When Ash reunites with Pikachu, the brim of his hat is colored red instead of white for a moment.
  • When Jessie commands Gourgeist to use Dark Pulse on Pikachu, the tips of her third and fourth fingers are cut off when her arm is fully extended.
  • Before Team Rocket blast off, Jessie's lipstick is missing.
