Unlike the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]], the live action episodes of [[Pokémon Sunday]] actually have a sort of common structure among them. Pokemon Sunday features a group of people called the [[Pokémon Research Team]]. During each non-rerun episode, the team goes out and investigates questions submitted to them through the show's website. | Unlike the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]], the live action episodes of [[Pokémon Sunday]] actually have a sort of common structure among them.

[[Pokémon Sunday]] was also used to help promote PokéPark 2005 in Japan. The second [[Pokémon Sunday]] opening has similar rides in the background to rides at PokéPark and Becky's Hello! Thank you! is blatant advertising with lyrics stating "HAPPY COMECOME POKéPARK". | |||

The original opening animation was about 24 seconds long and only lasted a few episodes. It featured [[Ash]] throwing a [[Poké Ball]] which would then transform into two film strips showing episode clips. {{p|Pikachu}} stands on the horizontal film strip with pom-poms and acts like a cheerleader. {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} then replace the cheerleading {{p|Pikachu}}. It then transitions to clouds and the [[Pokémon Sunday]] logo. | The original opening animation was about 24 seconds long and only lasted a few episodes.

The Second opening was a lot more elaborate and | The Second opening was a lot more elaborate and completely done in CGI. It starts off with the announcer shouting, "Are you ready?" and what looks to be the Kanto region in the background. The Pichu Brothers Rascal Railway PokéPark locomotive crosses the screen and it then transitions to a {{p|Pikachu}} ride with one of the positions as a car. {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}} and {{p|Treecko}} are in the car which motors off the screen and then transitions to another ride. A ferriswheel and three hot-air balloons featuring {{p|Skitty}}, {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Pichu}} are shown while the train reappears and crosses the screen again. Finally, it transitions to clouds and the [[Pokémon Sunday]] logo. | ||
