** The ExecutiveMeddling and [[RealLifeWritesThePlot real life tragedies]] that changed the series' trajectory appear to have taken their toll on the head writer, Atsuhiro Tomioka. After the big Operation Tempest two-parter that marked the end of the show's second year, Tomioka only scripted four episodes in its third and final year (Charizard's return, the ''Episode N'' arc's finale, Professor Oak's appearance in the Decolore arc, and the final episode leading directly into the following ''XY'' series), a far cry from how much work he put in on other series during their last stretches.
** Creator/MegumiHayashibara, Creator/ShinichiroMiki and Creator/InukoInuyama have been very vocal on how much they ''hated'' the Team Rocket trio's [[TookALevelInBadass serious characterization]] that lasted the majority of this series. They also were disappointed in their characters no longer appearing in every episode, a complaint that would last for the remainder of their run in the entire anime.
* ExecutiveMeddling:
** Reportedly, the show's executives forced the writers to alter several of their long-term plans for the series in order to accommodate the marketing of ''Black 2''/''White 2'', games that were full-fledged sequels rather than the UpdatedReRelease everyone had expected.
