Much of the humor in ''Pokémon X'' is derived from discrepancies or otherwise unexplained events in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and other Pokémon games. Whenever Brendan mentions Johto, or any of its native Pokémon that aren't in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]], May, Wally and most other characters seem confused and appear to have not have heard of it (emphasizing the incompatibility between [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|III}}). It also explains what happens to fainted Pokémon and who places the hidden [[item]]s on routes, both times at Brendan's expense. Brendan is also known to hold an item in the air while it glows (much to the dismay of anyone looking at him at the time) and a mysterious voice appears to tell what he obtained, much like in {{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}. | Much of the humor in ''Pokémon X'' is derived from discrepancies or otherwise unexplained events in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and other Pokémon games.

The humor also seems to highlight things within the game, such as the mispelling of {{p|Mawile}}'s name in its {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}} Pokédex entry. This was shown after [[Wally]]'s encounter with a Mawile in [[Granite Cave]], when Brendan checks out the Pokémon's entry with his own Pokédex. | The humor also seems to highlight things within the game, such as the mispelling of {{p|Mawile}}'s name in its {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}} Pokédex entry.

Another interesting joke is that Brendan, when helping Wally to catch his very first Pokémon, also told him about the cliché of not being able to find the Pokémon you want if you show the desire of catching it (which references the fact that very rare Pokémon like a {{p|Ralts}} on the [[Route 102]] take an eternity to appear). | ||
