Note

The Pocket Monsters XY&Z's "The Finals! Satoshi VS Alan!!" episode aired on a timeslot that conflicted with a few of the Olympics events that were broadcasted on several networks as part of the "Japan Consortium" joint venture. The events broadcasted were as follows:

1. Name of the Broadcasted Event: Swimming - Women 200m Butterfly Finals
Timeslot: 17:30-19:00*
Network/Channel: BS-Nitelle (Satellite broadcasting)

2. Name of the Broadcasted Event: Women Soccer - Qualifying League B-Ranking (Japan vs Sweden)
Timeslot: 19:00-20:50**
Network/Channel: BS1 (Satellite broadcasting)

* As the whole program had 5 minutes to end, the episode ended up broadcasting before another event from another channel could even begin.
** The entire broadcasted event started 5 minutes later from the episode, meaning that this episode was trying to compete with the most-watched broadcasted event of the entire world without notice.

As a result, this climax episode of the XY/XY&Z series was the lowest known rated episode to date as of its airing with a 2.0%
