Trivia[]
- No location data exists for Pokémon Smash! in any Fifth Pokémon generation games, as it premiered after Pokémon Black and White were released. Data for Pokémon Sunday was carried over into the Generation V games, along with the addition of a Wonder Card for it; however, neither was ever used in the Generation V games due to the premiere of Pokémon Smash! prior to event distributions.
