Unlike the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]], the live action episodes of Pokémon Sunday actually have a sort of common structure among them. Pokémon Sunday features a group of people called the [[Pokémon Research Team]].  During each new episode, the team goes out and investigates questions submitted to them through the show's website. From October 2004 to September 2006, the regular hosts of Pokémon Sunday were [[Becky]], TIM, ロバート ''Robert''. When Pokémon Sunday expanded to an hour show in October 2006, 中川翔子 ''Shōko Nakagawa'', nicknamed しょこたん ''Shoko-tan'' joined the cast and [[Becky]] left the cast.

The third variant of the Pokémon Sunday intro debuted in EP053. It starts off with a crowd shouting, "Let's Go!" and then the announcer stating that Pokémon Sunday is about to begin. This is the shortest intro ever used for any Pokémon related television show and only lasts 8 seconds. It is a mix of traditional animation and CGI. A bunch of Pokémon are standing on balloons in the sky and are dancing and cheering. The Pokémon Sunday logo appears and quickly transitions to the title card or research episode. The shortened intro was introduced to allow for more research content and more preview/commericals at the end of the show. A title card is shown twice in the later Pokémon Sunday anime rerun episodes, one introduced by the Pokémon Sunday announcer and the standard episode title card usually announced by {{Ash}}.
