Data broadcasting

Starting with BW061, the broadcast of the Pokémon anime on TV Tokyo uses data broadcasting, which is supplemental information sent by television stations along with digital television.

QR Code
By pressing the button as soon as the episode starts viewers are filling in a gauge. When the gauge is filled, a Special QR Code will appear that can be scanned into Japanese Pokémon Sun and Moon games with the QR Scanner.

Poké Problem
Viewers could answer the Poké Problem with their remotes during the airing of SM003 and SM004, which aired as a one-hour special, to take part in a lottery of five. During the airing of SM009 viewers could take part in a lottery of ten.

3 points are given to viewers who get the answer right, and 1 point to viewers who get the answer wrong. If the viewer collects 10 points during one lottery period a password will appear which can be used as an entry for the lottery. Viewers can then reset the score and start collecting again for another entry for the lottery.

Plot overview and introduction of the characters
Viewers can see an introduction of the main characters and a short overview of the series plot using their remote.
