{{move|Development leftovers of Pokémon X and Y}}
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 {{rt|3|Kalos}} 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}} {{p|Gogoat}}. Gogoat's Shiny coloration was drastically altered in the final release.

===Oblivion Wing===
A pre-release image of {{m|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 {{p|Gardevoir}} using {{m|Fairy Wind}} on a {{p|Hydreigon}}. In the final game, neither Gardevoir nor its pre-evolutions could learn this move.

==Post-release==
===Eternal Flower Floette===
[[AZ]]'s {{p|Floette}}, the Eternal Flower Floette, exists as an [[List of Pokémon with form differences|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 {{type|Fairy}} move {{m|Light of Ruin}} at [[level]] 50. It cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], and it is in the {{egg|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 {{p|Florges}}. It has a base experience yield of 243. Unlike normal Floette, it cannot have the [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|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]].

===Trainer classes===
Unused {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es 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 {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s found {{m|surf}}ing 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]].
* {{tc|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 Ability|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.

===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.

{{Moveentrytm|251|Celebi|2|Psychic|Grass|gen=6}}

===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 {{B2W2}}. For each ranking, there are two variant sets of dialogue, with each set also having a variant using masculine and feminine pronouns and language.
