In May 2013, the fansite PokéBeach published an article containing multiple then-unknown details about Pokémon X and Y after two issues of the Japanese manga magazine CoroCoro Comic confirmed information about the game that had been disclosed to them by their source in February. Upon the game's release, all but one piece of leaked information was confirmed to be true, the exception claiming that the professor's name would be "Patrice", when his named ended up being "Sycamore". In the 2024 Game Freak Teraleak, it would be discovered in a prototype that Patrice was indeed Sycamore's development name.

Attachment In many areas, it is possible for a "natural object" (e.g. a Berry tree, tall grass, a large rock, an iceberg, snow or sand piles, etc.) to appear behind an opponent in a wild or Trainer battle. These objects can be hit by certain moves that can target multiple Pokémon like Surf or Earthquake. If the object is hit, it will break or drop Berries and remain in that state until the end of the battle, when the player will pick up an item ranging from Berries to stones and other items.

In the Battle Mansion, the player can fight against a Beauty trainer. After beating her in the English version, her response is "Yes, a mere half year ago I was a Black Belt! Quite the transformation, wouldn't you say?". In the Japanese version, her response is translated as "I was a Karate King a half year ago: the power of medical science is awesome wouldn't you say?!".

Whilst differently portrayed, both versions hint that the Beauty trainer is transgender (black belt is a male-specific trainer class; same for Karate King in Japanese).

The names of Helioptile and Heliolisk seem to stem from Greek mythology. 'Helios' is an ancient Greek titan who is the personification of the sun. Helioptile's Pokemon X's Pokedex entry states that it basks in the sun to get energy, strengthening this connection.

The reason for the special Torchic Mystery Gift at launch was likely due to the fact that Junichi Masuda's favorite Pokemon is Torchic.

I'm a huge fan of Torchic. I don't know if you saw the intro movie of Pokémon X & Y, but I really pushed to get Torchic in there because its one of my favorite Pokémon. And even back with the Game Boy Advance SP, when Nintendo was making that, I actually made a request to them to make a Torchic-colored Game Boy Advanced SP." - Pokemon X&Y Director Junichi Masuda

According to a tourist in one of the hotels in the game, the sixth gym leader, Valerie, is originally from Johto. Given how Valerie also wears a kimono and that her strongest Pokémon is Sylveon, a Pokémon which evolves from Eevee, it's possible that she is related to the Kimono Girls from Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver versions. The Kimono Girls are a group from Ecruteak City in the Johto region who each specialise in Pokémon evolving from Eevee and are always seen wearing kimonos.
