Pokémon X and Y beta

It has been suggested that this article be moved to Development leftovers of Pokémon X and Y.
Please discuss whether or not to move it on its talk page.

Like previous major releases, especially those that set a new generation, Pokémon X and Y went through multiple development stages, many of which included several elements that were eventually dropped or revised before the games' release. Some of these components can still be found within their internal data.

Pre-release

Route 3

A pre-release screenshot of Route 3 depicts the route with a different camera angle, a different trainer, and lacking the big tree on the left side near the lake.

Lumiose City

A pre-release screenshot of Estival Avenue in Lumiose City shows the Lumi Cab in a different spot.

Parfum Palace

A pre-release screenshot of the bridge in the courtyard of Parfum Palace depicts the bridge as very long and thin, whereas in the final version it is long and has a thick gold part underneath the bridge.

Coumarine Gym

A pre-release image of Coumarine Gym shows the ledges the players jumps onto ropes as being the same color green as the rest of the floor, but in the final version the ledges are a darker green. In addition, the log that the rope is attached to sticks out further than it does in the final version.

Shiny Gogoat

Pre-release footage of X and Y showed a Shiny Gogoat. Gogoat's Shiny coloration was drastically altered in the final release.

Oblivion Wing

A pre-release image of Oblivion Wing shows the beam of energy as being pure red in color, compared to the final version which has two burgundy-colored streaks inside the beam with some red.

Anistar Gym

A pre-release screenshot of the Anistar Gym shows a Gym guide who is a young man with light brown hair, a necktie, and brown shoes. In the final version, however, the Gym guide is an adult man with dark brown hair, suspenders, and dark-colored shoes. In addition, the Gym floor, furniture, and statues sport notably different color schemes than in the final version.

Gardevoir and Fairy Wind

The E3 trailer for Pokémon X and Y showed a wild Gardevoir using Fairy Wind on a Hydreigon. In the final game, neither Gardevoir nor its pre-evolutions could learn this move.

Post-release

Eternal Flower Floette

AZ's Floette, the Eternal Flower Floette, exists as an alternate form of Floette in the game's data, but it is not obtainable in-game and was never distributed. In addition to Floette's regular moveset, it learns the otherwise unused Fairy-type move Light of Ruin at level 50. It cannot evolve, and it is in the No Eggs Discovered Egg Group. The Eternal Flower Floette's base stats are higher than that of a normal Floette, its base stat total being 1 less than that of Florges. It has a base experience yield of 243. Unlike normal Floette, it cannot have the Hidden Ability Symbiosis. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, it has its own Pokédex entry, as with other alternate forms of Pokémon in Generation VII onward. Despite it not being present in the data of any Nintendo Switch core series games, Eternal Flower Floette has a sprite in Pokémon HOME.

Items

Main article: List of unobtainable items → In Generation VI

Five unused items exist in the internal data of X and Y.

Moves

Three unused moves exist in the data of the Generation VI games. No legally obtainable Pokémon can learn them, and no Pokémon were ever distributed knowing the move. Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves can be learned by Zygarde starting from Generation VII in Pokémon Sun and Moon via Zygarde Cube.

#	Name	Type	Category	PP	Power	Accuracy
614	Thousand Arrows	Ground	Physical	10	90	100%

Trainer classes

Unused Trainer classes are present in the internal data of the games.

Ace Surfer (Japanese: なみのりエリート Surfing Elite)
- It may have been intended to be used for the Ace Trainers found surfing in the overworld that were later introduced in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The Trainer class is also included in the app Learn Real English Through Pokémon: XY Translation Scope.
Swimmers (Japanese: みずぎカップル Swimsuit Couple)
- This Trainer class was later introduced in Generation VII's Pokémon Sun and Moon.

Hidden Abilities

Some Pokémon are programmed to have Hidden Abilities in Generation VI, but cannot legally obtain them. These Abilities may have been distributed in a later generation or are currently still not obtainable. For Flabébé's evolutionary line, all other flower colors are obtainable with their Hidden Ability.

Please note that Abilities marked with a superscript are only available in the stated generation or later. For Generation III and IV games, ignore Hidden Abilities.

Shiny Pokémon

Every Pokémon in the game is programmed to have a Shiny variant, but some of them cannot be obtained legally. These Shiny Pokémon may have been distributed in a later generation or are currently still not obtainable.

Battle Maison

In the internal text file for the Battle Maison, there are 12 complete sets of unused text strings for the top three competitors from the World Championships. They may have been intended to be used as part of an event like the World Championships Tournament in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. For each ranking, there are two variant sets of dialogue, with each set also having a variant using masculine and feminine pronouns and language.
