* BaitAndSwitch: Several times in the episode showed Bonnie looking upset about her friends leaving. However, as the previews already indicated beforehand, it was actually Dedenne who took issue.



* EndOfAnAge: This marks the end of Gym Badge Quest format that Pokémon anime had for over 19 years, with the next series format being a SliceOfLife school-based show. Notably, the XY series does not end with ''"Next Time... A New Beginning!"'' like the other series and finishes with a more conclusive note. [[note]]There is no SequelHook to the next series. Even ''Diamond and Pearl'' foreshadowed ''Best Wishes'' with Team Rocket's promotion from Giovanni in its last episode.[[/note]]

* OpeningShoutOut: The very first scene of the episode is Pikachu hogging the [[CameraAbuse entire screen]], just like the opening scene of ''Volt!''. It was actually Pikachu hogging the videophone feed when Ash contacts his mother in Pallet Town.

* ClipShow: Near the end of the episode, a flashback clip montage is featured highlighting the various moments of the XY series, from the action-driven battles to the comedic antics of the Kalos gang to the story-driven drama of Ash-Greninja and the Team Flare finale.


Added DiffLines:

* GrandFinale: This is the last episode of XY and XYZ series and while the overall series continues on in ''Sun and Moon'', this episode gives a sense of finality and completion unlike previous Pokémon series. Notably, it ends with the tagline ''"And to Our Own Way"'' rather than the usual ''"Next Time... A New Beginning!"''

Added DiffLines:

* ThrowTheDogABone: Team Rocket for once, avoid antagonising the twerps and use their (somewhat exaggerated) footage of their Team Flare face-off to get Giovanni's approval. Especially so for Inkay and Gourgeist, who end their tenure under Team Rocket happily waltzing out of Kalos with their team mates.

!!Japanese Title: The Endless Zero! Until the Day We Meet Again!!
!!!Original Airdate: October 27, 2016
!!!US Airdate: TBA

The time has come, as Serena heads to Hoenn, and Ash returns to Kanto. How will the friends made in Kalos say their goodbyes?

!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
* DidTheyOrDidntThey: Serena runs up an escalator for one last moment with Ash. It's heavily implied, but not shown, that she kissed him.
* TheFellowshipHasEnded: Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena all part ways.
* FireForgedFriends: Chespin and Pancham part on good terms. Chespin is even sad to see Pancham go. [[ItWasAGift Pancham gives him a leaf as a parting gift]].
* LoveConfession: Before they finally part, Serena tells Ash that ''he'' is her ultimate goal, and she hopes to meet him again. His response to that is [[ChasteHero typical Ash]].
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Much like Piplup at the end of Sinnoh, Dedenne didn't want the group to split up, and ran off and hid in the airport until the group spoke to him.
* TryingNotToCry: A good amount of this among the Pokémon before Serena leaves. Most notable is Hawlucha.
