==Father?==
In Snowbelle City there's an NPC that mentions having a child around your age that recently left Vaniville Town. In my game (where I chose to play the male character), he says "daughter". If someone can confirm that it is "son" if the player chose the female character, would that be enough to say that he's Calem/Serena's father?  Or at the very least put it as trivia?[[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 05:20, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
:iirc, that person also says daughter if you play as the female character. --[[User:Funktastic~!|<span style="color:#009900">'''It's'''</span> <span style="color:#CC66FF">'''Funktastic~!'''</span>]][[User talk:Funktastic~!|<sub><small><span style="color:#99CCFF">''話してください''</span></small></sub>]] 05:23, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
::Given the color of his skin, it's also likely he's Shauna's father. Also, I hear reports from some people that he can also say his son left, so someone will need to check on that. Either way, it's too speculative. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 05:30, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
:::Well, that would be true if Shauna was a boy when you played as a girl. She isn't, so there's no argument against it. [[User:Yveltal0003|Yveltal0003]] ([[User talk:Yveltal0003|talk]]) 11:12, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
::::I can confirm that he refers to a "son" when the player's character is female. He can't be Shauna's father. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:13, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
== Names ==
Maybe I'm overthinking it, but... Coudn't Serena name be an anagram? Both in Japonese and English, if you take the name's letters and put them in order, thei spell "Erneas", Xerneas without the X (It's japonese name is also the same). It doesn't seem intentional, except because Calem is actualy an anagram too (Male C.).[[User:Silent Raincloud|Silent Raincloud]] ([[User talk:Silent Raincloud|talk]]) 12:20, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
:Nope, neither case makes any sense. They are meant to be puns for "calm" (Calem) and "serene" (Serena). [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 13:29, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
I know the oficial name origins, I was thinking more in a tivia fact.[[User:Silent Raincloud|Silent Raincloud]] ([[User talk:Silent Raincloud|talk]]) 16:04, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
== Data for tag battle against Team Flare grunts ==
Below is the party data when Serena teams up with the player for a double battle against Team Flare in Glittering Cave. Replace the 3rd Pokemon in the party with whichever starter is strong against the player's initial choice of starter:
{{Party/Single
|color={{y color}}
|headcolor={{y color light}}
|bordercolor={{y color dark}}
|sprite=VSSerena.png
|size=150px
|prize=N/A
|class=Pokémon Trainer
|classlink=Pokémon Trainer
|name=Serena
|game=XY
|location=Glittering Cave
|pokemon=3}}
|{{Pokémon/6
|ndex=677
|pokemon=Espurr

}}
|{{Pokémon/6

}}
|{{Pokémon/6

|pokemon=Braixen
|level=20
|gender=male
|type1=Fire
|ability=Blaze}}
{{Party/Footer}}
The problem with this party is that the movesets of the Pokemon are undefined. This is not a mistake; many other trainers in the game also do not have defined movesets for their Pokemon. I suspect that the game engine will, in this case, populate the 4 "empty" move slots with the 4 most recent level-up moves corresponding to the Pokemon's level, but further research/verification will be needed.

:Some gameplay videos suggest strongly that the level-up movelist is being referred to for undefined movesets, and Kaphotics has also commented on this before on Project Pokemon[https://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?44950-pk3DS-XY-ORAS-ROM-Editor-amp-Randomizer&p=210248&viewfull=1#post210248]. I will be adding the data to the article shortly. [[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 08:57, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
== Similarity with anime and manga counterparts ==
Is it worth mentioning in the trivia section that Serena has a similarity with her {{an|Serena|anime}} and [[Y (Adventures)|manga]] counterparts, that they all have an [[Eeveelution]] in their parties? Serena uses either {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, or {{p|Flareon}} depending on your starter while both her counterparts have a {{p|Sylveon}}. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 04:06, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
:No.
:They are the same character, but it's also different canons. The creators can decide to keep almost everything the same or only a bit the same, it's entirely up to them, and no matter which way it falls there's not really anything unexpected/noteworthy about it.
