Pokémon Masters EX is the franchise's take on the gacha game formula, featuring hundreds of different Pokémon Trainers from the franchise's history (from Gen I all the way up to Gen IX). Take on story content, monthly battle challenges and much more. It's also notable for being the first time since Pokémon Puzzle League that Ash Ketchum from the Pokémon anime has appeared in a Pokémon video game.

To do: Other Audio subpage, Team Rocket's Meowth voicelines and Pokémon Center Staff voicelines. Inaccessible Events subpage, for story events which have not returned such as The Girl in Black and White, The Importance of Elegance, Rosa's Party, and the two Team Rocket Events featuring Jessie and James. Subpage for standard Champion Stadium stages. Unused animations, such as Tina (or Camilla)'s falling through a Hoopa Ring.

Sub-Pages

Inaccessible Pokémon "Content reserved for the NPCs and special events? How disappointing..." (a player, probably)

Semi-Inaccessible Sync Pairs They are like limited-time collector's items: if you actually own them, you're one of the lucky players.

Event Items Some rare souvenirs we have here now, don't we?

Music From the undistributed to the outright removed, there's lots of tunes here.

Changed Voicelines "Hear my words!"

Pasio Special Stadiums Did you take on the Neo Champions?

Retired Content Content taken out of circulation for one reason or another.

Mindscapes

Filename	Image	Description
Tx_ch0110_01_kasumi_mindscape00		An earlier version of Misty's Mindscape graphic. The colors are slightly darker and a "temporary" symbol is present. At some point in development Misty (Swimsuit) was the default version of Misty until it was later changed to use her Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! design.
Tx_ch0000_01_red_mindscape00		A Mindscape graphic for the unused version Red. This Mindscape depicts the PML Stadium during the day. A nightime version of this Mindscape would later be created for Lear & Hoopa.

Sync Move Videos

A set of four videos were found in version 1.0.0 that have small differences. These videos are normally able to be viewed in the shop.

Japanese Voicelines Blue and Lyra's Sync Move videos play the audio as they normally do, with the one difference being they play a voiceline in Japanese. In the final game, Sync Move videos do not feature any voicelines.

Muted Videos Hilbert and Olivia's Sync Moves videos have no audio at all, no sound effects or anything. Olivia's video also lags at the start of the rock forming.

Changed Graphics

Trainers

Cyrus

Originally Cyrus' model had a design inaccuracy where part of his outfit was missing, showing more neck. Approximately 2 months later his model was updated and the renders were updated alongside it.

1.12.0 - 2.0.0
2.1.0 - Current

Crasher Wake

Prior to version 2.9.0 Crasher Wake used a different render in menus. This was later changed to one where his hands are on his hips, preventing him from covering other character's faces on the results screen.

1.0.0 - 2.9.0	2.9.0 - Current

Siebold (Holiday 2019)

A whole 2.5 years after his release Holiday Siebold's model was slightly updated with his hands being adjusted. Only his Vs render was changed however. This update coincided with his 6*EX being released that same month.

1.2.0	2.18.0 - Current

Adaman

Initially Adaman's model had a small error where his right eyebrow was not modeled correctly. This was later fixed and all his renders and lodge artwork were corrected, though this isn't really noticeable on his standard menu renders.

2.33.0 - 2.34.0
2.35.0 - Current !

Pokémon

Eevee

In version 2.38.0 Eevee's model was changed to it's model from Pokémon HOME. This coincides with the release of Elaine & Eevee and affected the existing Leaf & Eevee. This change is likely because a female model and shiny model were needed. The most noticeable changes are that textures are higher quality and the "baked" shadows are replaced with updated UV maps.

Before 2.38.0	2.38.0 - Current

Unused Graphics

Trainers

Red

Blacked out renders of an early version of Red with a "temporary" symbol placed over the images. The silhouettes' shoes resemble Red's Pokémon Red and Blue design. This version of Red may have been an early version of Sygna Suit Red & Charizard or Red was meant to use his oldest design as the default Sync Pair for Red before this was changed.

Cheren

Renders of Cheren using his design from Pokémon Black and White with "temporary" symbols placed over the images. While Cheren is playable in this game, he uses his design from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 instead. This Cheren model was accidentally used in this video uploaded to the Official Pokémon YouTube channel. See here.

Scientist

Blacked out renders of the Scientist (♂) Trainer Class with a "temporary" symbol placed over the images. Along with the Mindscape as evidence it is believed the Scientist could've been playable at some point. The images are found within the character folders for the Player's character Scottie(♂) and Bettie(♀), though the significance of this is unknown. Trainer Classes would not become playable until the addition of Naomi (Sightseer (♀)) & Sandslash. As of yet there is still no playable Scientist.

Other Trainer Graphics

A blacked out render of the Blackbelt Trainer Class with a "temporary" symbol placed over the image.

A render of Professor Bellis in a T-Pose with a "temporary" symbol placed on her hair. Considering it's found within the directory for tutorials, It may have been a placeholder graphic for a tutorial.

An image of Cheren (in his 6*EX pose) in a frame. Likely used for testing characters getting new renders via 6*EX or how characters will be framed in the games' menus.

Pokémon

A bizzare image of a level 199 Strike Fire-type Lucario with the same kanji spammed throughout the infobox where the Trainer and Pokémon name would be. Curiously 6 stars are present in the image, suggesting 6*EX might have been planned from the beginning but not implemented until the game's first Anniversary.

pm_497_00_jalorda_1024		A cropped image of Serperior. What this might've been used for during development is unknown.
pm0000_00_body		A texture depicting Ash-Greninja's official artwork. While Ash later became playable in this game, he is partnered with Pikachu instead of Greninja.
