 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}}.
-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. 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).

 ==Trivia==
+* Recon Dye's ex-girlfriend, '''BAM''', sometimes draws guest strips.
 * On November 3<sup>rd</sup>, 2006, Recon published [http://pokemonx.comicgenesis.com/d/20061103.html a comic] where, using different enviroments and overworld people sprites from Pokémon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby/Sapphire]]/[[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], he recreated several scenes of the TV series ''{{wp|Lost (TV series)|Lost}}'', which he described as ''"a show I ''[he]'' like''[s]'' to watch"''.
-* While Brendan and May are in [[Mauville City]], he suggests that Wally (who's trying to catch an {{p|Oddish}} in [[Route 110]]) may be trapped in a tunnel covered in fog and that they would need to get the badge from [[Mauville Gym|the city's gym]] to enable the use of a [[Defog (move)|fog clearing]] [[HM]] and find him, to what May replies that it is the stupidest thing she has ever heard (due to the move not existing then). Recon stated that he knew that there is a Defog HM in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] when he made the comic, so that's the point of the joke.

-* A flashback during Brendan's way through the Mauville Gym revealed that he blind-dated {{wp|Rogue (comics)|Rogue}} from the {{wp|X-Men}}.

-** In one of her comics, shortly after May finds Wally almost unconscious in Route 110 Brendan appears in, claiming that he found Wally too (who actually turned out to be the Wally from the ''{{wp|Where's Wally?}}'' book series, who said that he's called Waldo).
