Lysandre, Boss of Team Flare, serves as the Big Bad for the majority of the XY series (and taking a more active role during the XYZ arc) and is responsible for Alain's Mega Evolution energy quest and the hunt for Zygarde, which eventually culminates in a world crisis in Kalos that everyone has to partake in.

The climax of Goodra's Character Arc is to defeat Florges and make her see the error of her ways.

Florges serves as the Big Bad for the Wetlands Arc, the driving force behind the conquest of the wetlands, and Goomy's exile from its home.

It's most prominent during the XYZ series, where the important episodes are stacked back to back.

Animation Bump: It goes without saying that the animation of XY always peaks for Gym Battles, Showcases, and any other important event in the series.

Aquacorde Town gets nothing more than a two-second flyby early in the pilot.

Kiloude City in the Kalos region has never been featured, either.

note Instead, Xerosic tries to brainwash Clemont but gets defeated by Ash and the gang and then arrested by Officer Jenny.

The postgame in X and Y features Xerosic being investigated by Agent Looker and finding redemption with the help of a young girl named Emma.

Drasna is the only Elite Four member of the Kalos League to not make an appearance, not even for a cameo (Wikstrom, the only other Elite Four member to not have a major role in the series, makes a small cameo appearance in Pokémon: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, and would later make an appearance in Pokémon Journeys: The Series).
