## Trivia

* This show is based on Naruto and its manga series.
	+ Coincidentally, the titular characters on both shows sound similar.
	+ However, unlike Naruto, the characters challenge each other to Pokémon battles, just like in the Pokémon anime. Unlike the Pokémon anime, however, the trainers throw themselves into the Pokémon battle when all their Pokémon faint. Leaving the trainers win the Pokémon battle if their opponents faint.
* This anime reveals that Pikachu has an ability to possess its trainer.
* All characters are Pokemon trainers from the Pokémon anime, manga, and games.

* The games in the Ultimate Trainer series have a similar gameplay to Pokken Tournament.
* The Japanese name for the show is "Satoshi".
* Ash, Paul, Dawn, Max, Misty, Tracey, Brock, May, Cilan, Iris, Professor Oak, Drew, and Delia do not retain their outfits from the Pokemon anime
	+ Instead, they wear unique outfits.
