==Trivia==
* Even though the player can chose the Avatar's uniform number [[:File:Sword Shield Male Trainer Gym Challenge Uniform.png|official artwork]] depicts their uniform number as "227", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 無事な ''bujina'', meaning "safely".
* Pre-release media referred to Victor as both "Victor" and "Sword" (Japanese: '''ソード''' ''Sword'', Korean: '''소드''' ''Sword'').
