This game/console's online features are no longer supported. While this game/console's online features were once accessible, they are (as of April 8, 2024) no longer officially supported and online-exclusive features may be documented as now-unseen content.

To do: Rearrange the page a bit. Additionally, document the two broken debug roms from the Gigaleak. Two unused trainer classes (Ace Surfer and Swimmers). Over 30GB worth of development and prototype files were leaked from the 2024 Game Freak leak.

This page is loooong... Consider grouping related content into additional subpages to ease readability.

The first main-series Pokémon games in full 3D, Pokémon X and Y are set in the faraway region of Kalos and feature 72 new Pokémon, a huge regional Pokédex separated into three sections, and brand new features such as Mega Evolution and the Fairy type.

Also, fashion and cafés. It is the equivalent of France, after all.

Unreleased Hidden Abilities

In the Generation VI games, it is possible to find Pokémon with special "hidden Abilities". However, some Pokémon couldn't be encountered with hidden Abilities through any legitimate means, rendering the following hidden Abilities unused in normal gameplay.

Pokémon	Regular Ability	Hidden Ability
Raikou	Pressure	Volt Absorb
Entei	Pressure	Flash Fire
Suicune	Pressure	Water Absorb
Heatran	Flash Fire	Flame Body

In the Generation VII games, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune's Hidden Abilities were all changed to Inner Focus, and can be obtained legitimately by importing a Raikou, Entei, or Suicune from Virtual Console Gold, Silver, or Crystal to those games through Pokémon Bank.

Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon

For the sake of consistency, every Pokémon in every Pokémon game is given a Shiny variant. Most Shiny Pokémon have been obtainable through random chance encounters or event distributions, including most Legendary Pokémon. However, a few Pokémon cannot be obtained in this form without hacking, and as a consequence, normal players would never be able to see their Shiny coloration. Note that some Shiny Legendary Pokémon, while being Shiny locked in their normal in-game encounters, were still accessible via distribution-based events or via importing them through Poké Transporter.

• Zygarde – This Legendary Pokémon is encountered via a fixed in-game battle. However, its probability of being Shiny is locked at 0. Shiny Zygarde would later be obtainable in Generation VII games as part of an event distribution, and through Dynamax Adventures in Sword & Shield.

• Hoopa, Volcanion – These Mythical Pokémon were only obtainable through special distributions via Mystery Gift. Pokémon obtained from Mystery Gift cannot be Shiny unless distributed as such, and no distributions of these Pokémon in their Shiny forms were ever planned.

Unused Fixed Encounters

2 unused static encounter slots exist corresponding to Scatterbug and Abomasnow, neither of which are used at any point in the game. Both encounters are shiny locked, and where they may have been placed remains a mystery, although it is likely Abomasnow would've been found on Route 17 (Mamoswine Road).

Internal Index Order

The models of Generation VI Pokémon (in both the overworld and battle) are notable for not following the National Dex order for their naming scheme. Instead, they appear to follow an earlier index order, due to some evolution lines being separated from each other. While this order is followed for the naming, the actual models themselves are in the final game order. Instead of starting at number 650 like the final game, this earlier order starts the Generation VI Pokémon at number 701, with Furfrou. Two Pokémon are seemingly missing from the final game that are featured in this version of the order. For any Pokémon before Generation VI, including their Mega Evolutions, their models are named using their National Dex numbers.

Early Number	Final National Dex Number	Pokémon	Notes
701	676	Furfrou
702 - 703	708 - 709	Phantump line
704 - 705	667 - 668	Litleo line
706 - 708	664 - 666	Scatterbug line
709 - 710	690 - 691	Skrelp line
711 - 712	659 - 660	Bunnelby line
713 - 715	669 - 671	Flabébé line
716	714	Noibat	Separate from Noivern, most likely designed first.
717 - 725	650 - 658	Kalos Starters	Ordered as Fennekin line, Chespin line, and then Froakie line.
726 - 727	686 - 687	Inkay line	Oddly, some of Inkay's textures mention Sewaddle in their names.
728 - 729	672 - 673	Skiddo line
730	675	Pangoro	Separate from Pancham, most likely designed first.
731 - 732	694 - 695	Helioptile line
733 - 734	677 - 678	Espurr line
735 - 736	710 - 711	Pumpkaboo line
737 - 740	696 - 699	Fossils
741	702	Dedenne
742 - 743	684 - 685	Swirlix line
744 - 746	679 - 681	Honedge line
747 - 748	688 - 689	Binacle line
749	712	Bergmite	See next entry.
750	REMOVED	???	Completely missing. Due to its placement, it is likely there was an evolution stage between Bergmite and Avalugg initially planned.
751	713	Avalugg	See previous entry.
752	674	Pancham	Separate from Pangoro.
753 - 755	661 - 663	Fletchling Line	Strangely late considering that it's the regional bird line.
756 - 757	692 - 693	Clauncher line
758 - 759	682 - 683	Spritzee line
760	707	Klefki	Oddly, some of its textures mention Cofagrigus in their names.
761	701	Hawlucha
762	715	Noivern	Separate from Noibat.
763 - 765	704 - 706	Goomy line
766	703	Carbink
767	700	Sylveon
768 - 770	716 - 718	Legendary Trio
771	REMOVED	???	Completely missing. Due to its placement, this might have been an additional Legendary or Mythical that was removed. Interestingly, the overworld model for Mewtwo in the Unknown Dungeon is the only Kanto Pokémon model that does not use the correct National Dex number; instead, it uses xxx1. This could suggest that Mewtwo's placement here might have been a later addition, as it doesn't match with any overworld Pokémon, such as the Zygarde in Terminus Cave, which uses 770 in its model name, matching the index order.
772 - 774	719 - 721	Mythical Trio	Ordered as Diancie, Volcanion, and finally Hoopa.

Leftover Black 2 / White 2 Trainer Data

At the end of XY's trainer data, several trainer's party data from Black 2 / White 2 can be found, all named UNKNOWN. This includes nearly every battle against Hugh, fights against Team Plasma's Shadow Triad, and the Cheren / Bianca Memory Link battles. Interestingly, while these teams can be identified based on their Pokémon, Levels and Held Items, several of them have slightly different levels and teams to the final Black 2 / White 2. This could suggest that these are actually leftover data from an earlier version of Black 2 / White 2. An example of this includes Hugh's teams commonly missing his Bouffalant and instead having a Flygon before post-game.

Event Super Training Missions

Download Event Super Training Mission Wondercards File: PokemonXYORASEventSuperTrainingWondercards.zip (1KB) (info)

To do: Other exclusive rewards, possibly different between missions.

Several Super Training missions are hidden in the games' files and meant to be unlocked via Wondercards. All of these missions deal with battling against balloons of Mega Evolutions not seen in the Secret Super Training missions.

English	Japanese (Kana)	Japanese (Kanji)	Pokémon
Fearsome! Twin Tales of Jutting Jaws!	きょうふ！　おおアゴ　ツインテール	恐怖！　大アゴ　ツインテール	Mega Mawile
Danger Zipped Up Tight!	ひらかれる　きんだんの　ジッパー！	開かれる　禁断の　ジッパー！	Mega Banette
Stuck between the Strong and the Strong!	てつわん　ごうわん　ハサミうち！	鉄腕　剛腕　ハサミ打ち！	Mega Scizor
Dazzling! A Dizzying Dance of Spoons!	ねんりき！　スプーン　らんぶ	念力！　スプーン　乱舞	Mega Alakazam
What an Upstart! Magikarp Is Moving Up!	なりあがり！　しゅっせ　コイキング	成り上がり！　出世　コイキング	Mega Gyarados
Watch It! Multiple Mega Evolutions!	きょうい！　れんぞく　メガシンカ！	驚異！　連続　メガシンカ！	Mewtwo, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y

Completing these missions may reward the player with an Up-Grade or a Dubious Disc, both of which are not rewarded by any normal Super Training mission. Of note is that these missions give no EVs to the Pokémon, much like Secret Super Training missions, but completion sets bitflags 0-5 in byte 0x3A for the Pokémon.

Unused Items

Leftover Items

Leftover Key Items

As with every game since Generation IV, every single Key Item from previous games, used and unused, remains in X and Y, completely unused. Everything from the Seal Bag to the Lock Capsule still exists, but with its uses removed.

Wonder Launcher Items

The items that went unused outside of Wonder Launcher multiplayer battles in Generation V are now completely unused, as the Wonder Launcher mode does not exist in X and Y.

Poké Balls

The Apricorn Balls and Sport Balls from HeartGold and SoulSilver and the Park Balls from all Generation IV games remain nonfunctional, but the Dream Ball from Black and White and the Safari Ball from previous games can be hacked into the Bag and function properly.

Apricorns

The Apricorns themselves from HeartGold and SoulSilver can be hacked into the bag, but have no use.

New Unused Items

Fairy Gem

Icon	Name (EN)	Name (JP)	Description (EN)	Description (JP, Kana)	Description (JP, Kanji)	Effect
	Fairy Gem	フェアリージュエル	A gem with an essence of the fey. When held, it strengthens the power of a Fairy-type move one time.	フェアリーの タイプの ジュエル。 もたせると いちどだけ フェアリーの わざの いりょくが つよまる。	フェアリーの タイプの ジュエル。 持たせると 1度だけ フェアリーの 技の 威力が 強まる。	Increases the power of the first Fairy-type move the holder uses by 30%. Consumed after use.

Along with the other gems, which are unavailable (aside from the Normal Gem), a new gem was added for the new Fairy type, which is just as unavailable as the other gems.

Common Stone

Icon	Name (EN)	Name (JP)	Description (EN)	Description (JP, Kana)	Description (JP, Kanji)	Effect
	Common Stone	ありふれたいし	A perfectly normal stone that might appear valuable to some. It's all in the eye of the beholder.	みる ひとに よっては きちょう かもしれない でも ふつうの いし。	みる 人に よっては 貴重 かもしれない でも 普通の 石。	None.

A Key Item found at 0x02BA. Its intended use is unknown.

Travel Trunk

Icon	Name (EN)	Name (JP)	Description (EN)	Description (JP, Kana)	Description (JP, Kanji)	Effect
	Travel Trunk	いしょうトランク	A light and yet incredibly efficient trunk, which can contain every last piece of clothing that can be bought.	どんな ファッションアイテムでも つめこんでおける しゅうのうりょく ばつぐんの かるい トランク。	どんな ファッションアイテムでも 詰めこんでおける 収納力 抜群の 軽い トランク。	Opens the interface for changing the player's clothes when used.

The Key Items found at 0x02C2 and 0x02C3 are two variants of the same item, apparently for the male and female player character, respectively. Using the item leads to the screen where you can change your character's clothes. This suggests that you could change your character's clothes at any time by using this item, but the game was changed to incorporate dressing rooms into Pokémon Centers...which makes a lot more sense, actually.

The Travel Trunk would finally be implemented as the "Clothing Trunk" in Pokémon Let's Go!, not as a key item, but as a section in the bag.

Key Stone Items

While the player only uses the Mega Ring, Korrina's Mega Glove and Diantha's Mega Charm exist as Key Items at 0x02CC and 0x02CD, respectively. Their bag icons were either removed or not implemented, so the game uses a question mark as a placeholder icon.

AZ's Floette, known as the Eternal Flower Floette, is briefly seen in a cutscene during the ending of X and Y. Despite this fleeting appearance, it is actually coded in the game as a special form of Floette, possibly planned to be obtained by the player in some way (like a special event). However, no such distribution has happened and this Pokémon forme was left completely unused.

Like the Spiky-Eared Pichu from HeartGold and SoulSilver, it cannot evolve into its next stage or breed.

It has higher stats than a normal Floette (with its BST only one point lower than its evolution, Florges), its own unique cry, and has a unique signature move, Light of Ruin.

Eternal Floette's signature move has the highest base power out of all Fairy-type attacks, and is the strongest Fairy-type move in the game.

Unused Evolution Parameters

Eevee's evolution method into Sylveon has an extra parameter to signify which Type of move it needs to have to evolve, and it works with any Type, but only Fairy Type is used under normal conditions.

Unused Graphics

Early Title Screens

These mockups are comprised of separate graphic elements for an early title screen layout. The graphics fit a resolution of 800x480 pixels, which is exactly double the native resolution of the 3DS. The final title screens use a different font for "Push Start Button". The "TM" symbol is also in a fixed position, rather than correlating to the "X" or "Y" logo.

Early Logo

This logo featuring an strange Mega Symbol can be found in 1/6/5 in the game's files. It is grouped with the final logo's texture, but as the final logo is 2D, it is seemingly never loaded.

For some reason, the ン is missing the upper stroke and the ポ is missing the handakuten symbol, so it reads as "hocket monsters".

Texture Oddity

Torterra's Shiny eye texture has what appears to be a work-in-progress eye that is missing from the non-shiny eye texture.

Shiny	Regular

Town Map Location Preview

Early	Final

There is an early preview image for Santalune City, taken at night. This early version can be found in a\0\6\9, which is the same directory for the final preview images.

Miscellaneous

A large Japanese nametag for a female Pikachu, used as a placeholder nametag for invalid Pokémon slots. This image can be found in a\0\0\4.

Placeholder graphics for the HP/EXP bars, element type, and status effects respectively. All of these can be found in a\0\0\5.

A placeholder image for the Pokémon Type graphic in the Friend Safari. This is from a\2\0\0.

Two placeholder images found in a\1\5\2, alongside various Holocaster graphics.

A size guideline for jigsaw puzzle images in a\0\1\7. The white overlay is 320x240.

A test image found in a\1\1\6.

Unused Audio

bgm_xy_test Themes

There are 7 versions of the same song, all named bgm_xy_test1 through bgm_xy_test7. They're all the same song, "Friends Theme - A New Meeting", although the waveforms of 1-3 are slightly different from 4-7. These songs may have been used for testing various locations of overworld themes before they were implemented.

bgm_xy_vs_secret_01

As with the Generation V games, a remix of the "Battle! VS Champion" theme from Red and Blue is included for use in the finals of the Pokémon Video Game World Championships tournament. This is a different remix from the Generation V games, though the intro remains the same. There is no way to hear this song through normal gameplay, as it is locked out of the normal multiplayer battle music. Oddly, in the Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: Super Music Collection soundtrack, the theme is titled Victory! (World Champion), a naming scheme typically reserved for victory themes.

me_xy_test Themes

There are three files, me_xy_test1 through me_xy_test3, which are all just copies of the Pokémon Center's healing machine sound effect. This could have been used for testing player-related sound effects.

Unused Terrains

In a/1/4/6 there are two unused battle backgrounds that indicate that there might have been Water and Ice Terrains originally. They use the Wi-Fi battle background as a placeholder.

Their models are found in "128.bin" & "129.bin". Their internal names are "fwaza_aqua" and "fwaza_ice", matching the naming pattern of the other terrains seen in-game ("fwaza_grass", "fwaza_mist" and "fwaza_eleki").

Sound Debug Logs

Two files named out.txt and out2.txt can be found in a folder called sounddebug. Each file contains comma-separated number values.

Unused Text

A wild Wonder Card appears!

This placeholder text is used for distribution Wonder Cards that don't have an event title attached to them. As all distribution Wonder Cards have an event title, this title goes unseen.

Debugging Files

There are a handful of debugging-related files in the RomFS. Their functions are currently unknown.

Regional Differences

Title Screen

As usual, PUSH START BUTTON was changed to PRESS START in the English releases.

Birthday Music

In the Japanese version, a cover of "Happy Birthday to You" plays during the player's first visit to a Pokémon Center on their birthday; on later visits, it is replaced with a music box version of the Pokémon Center theme. Because this song was still under (legally dubious) copyright internationally at the time, only the latter theme is heard. However, this cover is still present in the data of all regional versions, under the file name bgm_xy_bd_02.

Revisional Differences

To do: Add more reliable sources.

Version 1.1

This patch was released on October 12, 2013.

• When saving on the North and South Boulevards of Lumiose City, the game could freeze, forcing the player to reboot the 3DS, which corrupts the save file. The fix patches the bug and restores save files to a usable state.
• The filtering system of the GTS no longer crashes after using certain filters and confirming a trade.

Version 1.2

This patch was released on December 12, 2013. Starting in this update, each subsequent update is required to go online.

• Pokémon that evolve by trade now learn new moves after evolving if received through Wonder Trade.
• All Trainer PR Video captions are now unlocked even after fulfilling the requirements.
• Encryption was added to online functionality. Thus, the Battle Analyzer and Instacheck tools are rendered useless.

Version 1.3

This patch was released on October 28, 2014.

• When the first Pokémon is sent out in a battle, the standard Poké Ball effect is no longer used for all types of Poké Balls.
• Vivillon's icon in the Friend Safari menu now appears for every type of pattern.

Version 1.4

This patch was released on April 2, 2015, alongside the version 1.3 patch for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Both patches fix the bugs with music related to usage of the Poké Radar.

Version 1.5

To do: Document the so-far-unknown changes.

This patch was released on April 22, 2015, alongside the version 1.4 patch for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
