* The ''Advanced Generation'' series shares a number of similarities with the {{series|XY}}:
** Ash is traveling with three companions instead of two.
** Two of the traveling companions are siblings, with one of them being too young to have Pokémon of their own.
*** Both sets of siblings are related to the fifth [[Gym Leader]] of their respective region, and both older siblings tried to hide this fact at first.
**** This [[Gym]] is also the first one that Ash attempts to challenge in the region.
** Ash receives only one starter Pokémon in the region and fully evolves it.
** Ash's female companion does not have a specific goal in mind at the beginning of their {{pkmn|journey}}, but later becomes inspired to pursue a career that focuses more on displaying a Pokemon's style rather than its power: May aims to become a {{DL|Grand Festival|Top Coordinator}}, and Serena aims to become {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}}.
*** They were borh expected to pursue the same career as one of their parents: May was expected to become a Gym Leader like [[Norman|her father]], and Serena was expected to become a Rhyhorn racer like {{kal|Grace|her mother}}.
*** They both begin their journeys for unorthodox reasons: May to travel, and Serena to reunite with Ash.
*** They both start with the region's {{type|Fire}} starter Pokémon: May starts with {{TP|May|Torchic}} and Serena starts with {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}. Both of their starter Pokémon evolved during the series.
*** They both obtain an {{p|Eevee}}, which later evolves into an [[Eeveelution]] native to the region they are currently in at the time of the Evolution.
*** They both had one last battle against Ash before departing.
*** Neither had any of their Pokémon [[Obedience|disobeying]] them, unlike {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Iris}}.
** The three older main characters have one starter Pokémon each.
** At least one Gym features [[Double Battle]]s.
*** Both these Gyms specialized in {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon, as well as being the seventh Gym Ash challenged in the respective regions.
** Both League Conferences started on the 125th episode and ended on the 131st episode of their respective series.
*** Ash uses only his current [[party]] Pokémon in the tournament instead of using any of his Pokémon from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].
** [[Jessie]]'s Pokémon evolves but [[James]]'s Pokémon capable of evolution does not.
* This is the final series to be dubbed by [[4Kids Entertainment]], and the first series to be dubbed by [[The Pokémon Company International]]{{tt|*|Then known as Pokémon USA}}. TPCi took over dubbing starting with ''[[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]''.
* This is the first series that has Ash traveling with siblings.
