{{outdated|section|needs=Updates on any bugs fixed in patches 1.3 & 1.4}}

If the player interacts with a sign and simultaneously moves away from it, the sign's text will display despite the player character looking away from it.

When walking parallel to a [[signpost]], the {{player}}'s head will turn towards the sign and allow the player to read the sign if they choose to do so. However, the player's head will not turn if they walk past the sign for the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|7|Kalos}}. Facing the daycare sign directly allows it to be read; on the same route, the identical-looking sign for the [[Battle Chateau]] can be read facing sideways without looking directly at it. This is likely a case of an incorrectly set flag only on that sign.

During the fifth chapter of the Looker Bureau missions in [[Lumiose City]], the {{player}} is required to enter the room containing the stolen [[Poké Ball]]s that are held within the Secret Lab of [[Lysandre Labs]]. In the upper-left corner, there is a table with a chair and two of the stolen Poké Balls nearby surrounding a second chair. If the player interacts with the table on its right or while sitting down, the game will trigger the "''It's someone's Poké Ball.''" message despite there being no Poké Ball on the table. Returning to the room after the chapter is over will not display the message if the table is interacted with again.

In the Pokémon summary view, if the player selects a Pokémon from a game in the player's native language, switches to the second page (with nature, capture data, and ribbons), selects a foreign language Pokémon and then the first Pokémon again, and switches back to the first page, the foreign Pokémon's language icon will show up in the first Pokémon's details on the top screen.

Fences enclose verdant areas around the base of [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] in the center of [[Lumiose City]]. At the two corners of fence right of the [[Photography|Photo Spot]], the player can ride "inside" the fence, as the unpassable boundary lies shortly inside the fence's visible location at these points.

The only Pokémon that is supposed to be able to grant a gift in [[Pokémon-Amie]] is the active Pokémon-Amie Pokémon. If a player stays at [[Hotel Richissime]] when a non-active Pokémon is within 30 points of granting an [[Affection]] gift and the active Pokémon either has maximum Affection or is more than 30 points from granting a gift, normally, no gift should be gained. However, if the player has not viewed Pokémon-Amie before staying at Hotel Richissime, then when they switch to Pokémon-Amie, they will receive a gift from the active Pokémon matching the set of the last Affection gift that it gave.

{{GlitchResearch|Is the glitch present in Version 1.1?}}

When the player uses the [[Poké Radar]] on a patch of grass, the game changes the current music that is playing to the Poké Radar theme.  Should the player hatch an Egg while the theme is playing, the game will play the wrong music depending on the timing.  Should the player press either the A button or B button while the music is fading after seeing the "Oh?" message, then the Poké Radar theme won't play after hatching an Egg. Additionally, if player defeats or runs from a wild Pokémon after performing the glitch, the evolution theme will play instead of the proper one.

{{GlitchResearch|What happens if a player does this and the system's date has changed to the next day?}}

Whenever a player connects to the games' online function or services through the PSS menu, the player will be asked to save the current game before preceding. Among the data recorded and logged in this save is the system's current time and date. Should the player repeatedly connect to online services which require saving the game each time, the time and date recorded will fail to update. This will remain the case until the PSS menu has been exited out completely by the player. Data such as the game's current play time is unaffected, and will continue to update with each new save.

The tent prior to defeating [[Viola]] inside the Gym is closed to prevent access to the staircase beyond.  Should the player go to the back-left corner of the tent and move back and forth between that spot and the spot one tile to the south, the game will make the top of the tent transparent to show the character.  While the tent is transparent, it will not show the back wall to the tent, despite it existing until Viola is defeated.

{{GlitchResearch|All known info is based on reports. And does it also occur on the retail copies?}}

It has been reported that some [[Save|save files]] of digitally downloaded copies of the games have become corrupted. This issue has affected other games downloadable on the {{wp|Nintendo eShop}} such as {{smw|Mario Kart 7}} and {{smw|Mario & Luigi: Dream Team}}.  It has been suggested that a possible way to corrupt save data for any game that uses the SD card is to let the Nintendo 3DS's battery die while the game is accessing data from the SD card.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/2m1eje/do_not_let_your_battery_die_mid_game_with_screen/ Do not let your battery die mid game with screen closed. Corrupted saved data. : SmashBros on Reddit]</ref>

If the {{player}} has a {{pkmn|battle}} with a {{tc|Sky Trainer}}, then the Sky Trainer cannot be interacted with and will not speak to the player when the game returns to the overworld. Should the player reload the area by moving to a different area and back, they will be allowed to interact again and speak to the Sky Trainer.

This [[glitch]] appears to be caused by an improperly set flag that is corrected upon reloading the area into memory.   

If the {{player}} sets the sound to stereo in the system settings, the game will reproduce the audio as if it was set in mono sound. This is more noticeable when playing the game with the use of headphones.

In order to enjoy truly stereo sound, the console has to be configured to surround in the system settings. So far no other [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] game has been known to have this issue.

If the {{player}} taps the icon on the {{wp|touchscreen}} to open the [[Super Training]] menu, then immediately interacts with an object in the overworld by pressing the A button of the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]], the sound effect will play but the menu will not open.

If the {{player}} has not yet obtained a [[Pokédex]] entry, obtaining the Pokémon or evolving a Pokémon obtained from any previous generation game will register a Pokédex entry with a {{i|Poké Ball}} sign. However, evolving an {{p|Eevee}} which was obtained from any previous generation game into a {{p|Sylveon}} will fail to register any Pokédex entry. It is possible that the programmers forgot to consider that Sylveon could come from an imported Eevee and therefore did not account for the possibility.

In [[Mystery Gift]]'s Card Album, moving the cursor directly between two different forms of the same Pokémon (including by changing pages) will not update the form shown, even though the Wonder Card text changes. This glitch does not occur if a different Pokémon (or a blank Wonder Card entry) is shown in between (for example, if the player viewed Vivillon, then {{p|Torchic}}, then Vivillon).

{{youtubevid|xZtOPfeqNl0|channel/UC4y-4WvWxx2AowgudsYAlZQ|name=G-Mizuka|unknown}}

If the {{player}} encountered a {{p|Vivillon}} in a Bug-type [[Friend Safari]] that was not the default Meadow Pattern, the game would show an empty Poké Ball icon in its place, as if it has not been encountered in the safari. This is due to the game defaulting to check for if the player has encountered a Meadow Pattern Vivillon within the safari and not the Vivillon pattern that the player would normally encounter, based on their geographic location.

The Version 1.3 patch fixes this glitch by properly checking and displaying the icon for Vivillon's other patterns. If the player had found a Vivillon in a Friend Safari prior to the patch, however, it will not be automatically added to the list of that safari's three Pokémon, and it must be found again to be added.

Occasionally, the player would be unable to unlock specific [[Trainer PR Video]] captions, despite meeting the requirements to unlock the captions.<ref>[http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1061 How to Update Pokémon X and Pokémon Y || Nintendo Support]</ref> Reportedly, the NPC in Café Action! who unlocks new captions daily would become stuck on the caption "''Thanks for lovin' me, everybody!''" and stop unlocking new ones.<ref>[http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/696959-pokemon-x/67660860 Possible bug with NPC in Cafe Action - Pokemon X Message Board for 3DS - GameFAQs]</ref> This man has a list of captions he can grant and starts at a random place in his list. Since the problematic caption is the last one in his list, the game likely neglected to roll over to the start of his list upon reaching the end to continue granting any remaining captions.

If a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{DL|Methods of evolution|Evolution via trading|evolves by trading}} during [[Wonder Trade]] and learns a new [[move]], both the new move and the old move will disappear.<ref>[http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/46033/20131019/pokemon-x-and-y.htm Pokemon X And Y Glitch: 'Pokemon Albino' Found, Nintendo And Game Freak Allegedly Working On Patch To Resolve Multiple Errors | KpopStarz]</ref>

On December 12, 2013, the Version 1.2 {{wp|Patch (computing)|patch}} was released, which fixes the glitch. This patch is required to use all online features, including Wonder Trade.

{{main|Lumiose City save glitch}}

[[File:Lumiose City Save Glitch Map.png|thumb|250px|right|The map released by [[Nintendo]].]]

On October 25, 2013, the Version 1.1 {{wp|Patch (computing)|patch}} was released, which fixes the issue even if the game has been afflicted by it. The patch also fixes the [[:#GTS filter error|GTS filter error]]. If the player doesn't have internet access to download the update, pressing the home button multiple times after selecting to resume the game can solve this problem, but it must be before the Lumiose City music is heard.

{{GlitchResearch|Do other filters cause communication errors?}}

In the [[Global Trade System]], after seeking a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, it is possible to use a filter to narrow the results down to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s seeking for Pokémon that the {{player}} owns. Trying to initiate the [[trade]] can cause a communication error where the game will display the "''A communication error has occurred. Press the <sc>Power</sc> button, and end the game''" message, forcing a {{wp|Shutdown (computing)|shutdown}}.

At the [[Battle Resort]], when teaching a Pokémon a [[Move Tutor]] move, if the player chooses to replace a move, but then cancels when the Move Tutor asks "You're cool with having it forget <move>?", the message "<move> did not learn <tutor-move>!" will be displayed, replacing the Pokémon's name with the name of its move.

{{youtubevid|EgS2nZB4FpI|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|Yellow}}

At the [[Battle Resort]], when breeding two Pokémon, if the player comes from the Day Care Annex while an {{pkmn|Egg}} is available, then the Day-Care Lad will still face the Annex as if no Egg is available.  Additionally, this will occur if the player is between the bottom of the steps on the east side and the boundary marked by the rightmost puddle in the Annex.  Surfing around these spots will cause the Day-Care Lad to still face the Annex.

During the [[Delta Episode]], when the player is in [[Granite Cave]] with [[Zinnia]] and [[Aster]], if the player speaks to Aster while riding a [[Bicycle|bike]], the bike will disappear and the player will crouch to speak to Aster, as if the player had walked up to Aster without the bike. When the player finishes speaking to Aster, they will stand back up still without the bike. If the player makes another action thereafter, including opening the menu with X, the quick item access menu with Y, moving or getting the introduction text for [[BuzzNav]] the bike will reappear.

If a Surfing Wailmer evolves due to experience gained from catching or defeating a Pokémon encountered by use of a Rod, the game will freeze on a black screen, but the route music will continue playing and the player can perform a [[soft reset]]. This may be due to the change in the Surfing model.

If the language is set to German, the Hiker that gives the player {{TM|70|Flash}} will say that it is the German equivalent of an HM, VM 70, instead of TM 70.

{{youtubevid|_DYsCWXI56Q|channel/UCygzs1A-1EFESFgk0Rqph5w|name=pokemontutorialTV|Rock}}

{{GlitchResearch|Does this occur if the game is saved anywhere else?}}

On occasion, the game will freeze if the player loads a save file after saving directly adjacent to the doors of the [[Lilycove Department Store]], similarly to the Lumiose City softlock in Pokémon X and Y; unlike the latter glitch, the player can continue playing the game normally by hard-resetting the game and reloading the save file.

{{GlitchResearch|Checking following locations for trainers, that are floating (water) or not moving anymore/disappearing (land). Water: Route 126, Swimmer north when dive up/down. Land: Mauville City, east and west girl, when driving with the bike fast up and down can disappear.}}

If the player stands at a specific spot outside of the Cable Car on Route 112, it is possible that the Hiker on the left side of the area will walk into an invisible wall. If the menu is opened, the Hiker will stop moving completely, even if the menu is then closed.  Should the player move from the tile that they are on, the Hiker will resume walking.

{{youtubevid|ZjDoO5NNwlc|channel/UCygzs1A-1EFESFgk0Rqph5w|name=pokemontutorialTV|Rock}}

Route 119 is split into two sections, a southern section containing the area just a bit to the north of the longer bridge on the route and a northern section containing the area from the first patch of tall grass past the bridge to the rest of the route. <!--Really, this needs to be rewritten as this makes only a bit of sense without a map or watching the video.-->  If the player crosses over several times in quick succession from the southern section to the northern section or vice versa, it is possible for Trainers to want to have a [[rematch]] without changing to a different route.

Prior to the 1.2 update, the game would sometimes freeze before transitioning to the end video after the [[Hall of Fame]], potentially causing the player to lose his or her progress in the [[Pokémon League]].<ref>[http://www.idigitaltimes.com/pok%C3%A9mon-omega-ruby-and-alpha-sapphire-upcoming-v12-update-download-will-solve-most-397608/ Pokémon Omega Ruby And Alpha Sapphire: Upcoming v1.2 Update Download Will Solve The Most Inconvenient Glitch Yet]</ref>

===Friendship Evolution glitch===

[[Generation VI]] introduced the mechanic where trading a Pokémon back to its [[Original Trainer]] would regain its original [[friendship]]; as a result, Pokémon keep track of two friendship values at all times as well as a flag for which one to use.

{{youtubevid|haia54lTJcI|channel/UCZz2ixp-5T6VeAPtAMQ5v5Q|name=ChickasaurusGL|kalos}}

===Pokémon-Amie reaction glitch===

===Pokémon-Amie sprite glitch===

When the player is stationary and the active Pokémon-Amie Pokémon has not been tapped, the Pokémon is completely stationary and in a neutral position. When the player selects the active Pokémon, however, its sprite will rock back and forth. If the player opens the switch screen, the Pokémon's sprite will freeze, and, if the player then exits the switch screen without changing the active Pokémon, the Pokémon will be in an unselected state but (depending on the position it froze in) may be in a non-neutral position. Tapping the Pokémon or moving will reset the Pokémon's sprite.
