==Post-release==
===Pokémon===
{{DL|Pokémon X and Y beta|Eternal Flower Floette}} remains in the code of the Generation VII games. It has its own Pokédex entry in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Additionally, there are menu sprites for [[Cosplay Pikachu]], [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], and Eternal Flower Floette, though none of them are available in-game. Pichu, in particular, is notable because up to this point, even in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, she shared a menu sprite with typical Pichu.
