Notes[]
- Episode 64 of the series, "サトシとナゲツケサル！友情のタッチダウン！！" ("A Touchdown for the Team!") has remained unaired in the English dub, as well as all dubs based off the English script, due to Ash wearing dark face paint resembling blackface during the second half of the episode, in order to imitate the appearance of a Passimian.
- The English title comes from the English interface on Netflix Korea.
