Oh my gosh I love this sort of thing!
I'm not sure if any of these have been stated yet or aren't that obscure, but I got a few, mostly involving Gen 6. Please let me know if any of these are incorrect:
That's all I can recall at the moment
I'm not sure if any of these have been stated yet or aren't that obscure, but I got a few, mostly involving Gen 6. Please let me know if any of these are incorrect:
- Due to a programming oversight, if a player transfers an Eevee from a generation before Gen 6 into X and Y and evolves it into a Sylveon prior to getting a Pokedex entry for it, said entry won't appear for this Sylveon. Though it will for an Eevee from Gen 6, and presumably, the ones after.
- In the original Ruby and Sapphire, it was possible for players to get one extra Pokemon in Sapphire. In these games, your given both a Sun Stone and a Moon Stone, and as in other generations, can get extra from wild Solrock and Lunatone, respectively. However, while only Gloom need a Sun Stone to evolve into Sunflora, both Skitty and Jigglypuff need a Moon Stone to evolve, and since wild Lunatone can only be encountered in Sapphire, Delcatty and Wigglytuff were mutually exclusive to Ruby players. This isn't the case in the remakes due to the fact that you can get more stones from Secret Super Training, rematches, Inverse battles, Secret Base changes, Clefairy holding them, and changes to the Pickup ability that were made in HGSS.
- The generic pictures inside of buildings in X and Y consist of Unova pokemon, such as Roggenrola, Gothielite, and Audino. However, if one looks in the top floor of the Pokemon lab, you can also see there's a unique one, which is a diagram of what looks to be a Snivy, which is fitting for Kalos, since the Snivy line's main motif is French royalty.
- Tabitha (at least in ORAS) and Cyrus were the same age in their respective games. Which is pretty surprising because, well, look at them.
- Even though he's referred to as just a Pokemon trainer, AZ uses the Gym Leader theme in the final battle in X and Y's main game.
- Crasher Wake was originally going to have a Swampert-themed mask instead of the Gyrados one.
- The first wild encounter in every. Single. File of X and Y is always scripted to be a Pidgey, which I believe will always trigger in the second row of tall grass on route 2. Weird, I know. Likewise, the first encounter after beating the main story will always be the legendary bird that goes with the Kalos starter you chose.
- In Masters EX, excluding the main characters from the games, Steven Stone currently holds the record for the most alternative costumes of any champion, which is three aside from his regular outfit.
- Also, I think May in Masters also holds the record for the most Pokemon that Mega Evolve after using a Sync Move, which is four: Swampert, Lopunny, Latias, and Blaziken. Though Blue is in second with three: Pidgeot, Blastoise, and Aerodactyl.
- Another Masters one, but there are only three sync moves in the game that don't deal any damage, which are Leaf and Eevee's, Sycamore and Xerneas's, and Sygna Suit Dawn and Cresselia's. These three pairs instead have a hefty status buff.
- In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, there was this bug that, depending on your trainer ID and Secret ID, could raise the chance of encountering shinies when a Pokemon with Cute Charm was first in the party, in which opposite gendered pokemon had over a 21% chance of being shiny!
