History Funny / PokemonXAndY

** AZ has quite possibly the most subdued way of tossing a Poké Ball ever. He just stands there with his arms at his sides, then gently lifts his right forearm to toss the Ball, like he's saying "[[AllLowercaseLetters yeah. torkoal, just go.]]" It can look pretty odd considering that Trainers seen not only in ''X & Y'', but all other forms of media for the ''Pokémon'' franchise (especially the [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} anime]]) toss Poké Balls in way more flashy and enthusiastic manners.

-->You can't play with an egg, silly!

* Within a random Hotel in the game, you'll encounter a Hiker willing to trade a 'super-special' Magikarp for a Gyarados. [[Bait-and-Switch You receive a Lv.5 Magikarp via this trade instead.]] And this trainer's name? Caveat.

* Mr. Mime's animation is hilarious (he is constantly moving his hands around like the classic mime-in-an-invisible-box), but at the same time [[UncannyValley kinda]] [[NightmareFuel creepy]].

* There is a maid on the top floor of Hotel Richisimme who won't stop staring at a column, marveled by how thick and long it is.

* As [[https://celtic-pyro.tumblr.com/post/168534336209/so-tyrantrum-knows-the-move-draco-meteor-they this post]] points out, there's something [[BlackComedy darkly hilarious]] about the fact that Tyrantrum, a Pokemon based on a dinosaur, can learn Draco Meteor, a move that involves ''hurling meteorites at the opponent''. Even better, it's specifically based on a ''TyrannosaurusRex''...one of the dinosaur species that got to see the K/Pg Extinction first hand.

* Remember that guy who sells overpriced Fresh Water that costs 300 credits from ''Funny/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2''? Well there's another one here in Couriway Town selling it. And if you refuse, he would say that [[LampshadeHanging only pros can tell the difference]]! When you do buy, though, he gives you a free random berry, and starts selling them to you for 100 credits, so it's not a total rip-off like before.

* In Dendemille Town, there's a [[OutOfCharacter Hex Maniac selling Moomoo milk.]]

* One Hex Maniac, a trainer class that consists mostly rather freaky young girls, enters conversation with a EvilLaugh, asking you if you also heard that sound. Once you beat her, she suddenly slips out of character and declares she can't do it, and she ends up lamenting the fact that she has no idea how to act as a Hex Maniac and might not be cut out for that class after all. Makes you wonder, were all the other Hex Maniacs you encountered until then also pretending to be off their rocker just to freak you out?

* A Maid in Battle Chateau speaks as if it were a RobotMaid instead.

** Shauna tries to lure away some Team Flare Executives from the protagonist after having a very fake "I don't wanna be chased" and then running away. Two Team Flare Executives ''do'' go after her. But... unenthusiastically, one at a time, and at a slow pace while mumbling stuff that makes it clear they're only pursuing her to make sure she didn't trip over a power cord or something on accident that might screw this up.

** In Route 13, when you beat a Grunt at the entrance of the Power Plant, he mentions the ''exact location of the pass and walks off to wait''. Talk to him again and he laments how much trouble he'd be in if, ''hypothetically'', someone were to find the pass and use it to enter the Power Plant that is directly behind him. The next Grunt you meet afterwards mentions having no idea who you are even though you establish to them your status.

*** Pikachu seems to enjoy it when you rub its cheeks. It makes the same face as when you scratch its chin, and lets out an elated cry when you get shocked. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar It doesn't like being touched in the groin though]].

** Need a laugh while conquering Victory Road? Try fighting a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnEsHuDI_Kw Lickitung horde]].
** The hordes of Spinda. Just...those tipsy-looking Spinda.

* As [[https://celticpyro.tumblr.com/post/168534336209/so-tyrantrum-knows-the-move-draco-meteor-they this post]] points out, there's something [[BlackComedy darkly hilarious]] about the fact that Tyrantrum, a Pokemon based on a dinosaur, can learn Draco Meteor, a move that involves ''hurling meteorites at the opponent''. Even better, it's specifically based on a ''TyrannosaurusRex''...one of the dinosaur species that got to see the K/Pg Extinction first hand.

* The placeholder text in case Nintendo somehow forgets to give a Wonder Card a title happen is "[[AscendedMeme A wild Wonder Card appears!]]"

** Before all this, when you first encounter Team Flare inside the Pokéball Factory, Serena/Calem says to the grunt, "Did you have to get a part-time job to pay for that ugly suit?!" Ooh, burn!

** In somewhat the same vein, there's a Lass at Route 18 with a level 48 Granbull and Dedenne, who apparently got lost on her way to the ''Trainer's School'' and ended up there.

* Right at the beginning of the game, the camera follows a cute little Fletchling as it flies through a house. It hovers over the sleeping Player Character, almost looking like it's about to sing you awake... and then it rears back, and wakes you up by ''divebomb-headbutting you in the chest'' (which is how the move Fly is depicted in-game. So in other words, ''that Fletchling just used Fly on you''). You later find out it's your mom's.
** Even better after that. If you chose a female player character, you wake up, with pajamas and all, and your 3DS on your hand. This implies you played with it until you fell asleep, which is likely what you did when the game came out, and all games before it.

* Not surprisingly, ''X and Y'' continues the RunningGag of Youngsters ranting about their shorts, as well as [[http://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/1o1sx2/the_most_important_familiar_face_to_return_in_x_y/ fat guys marveling at the wonders of technology in the player's hometown]].

** And just prior, Shauna tried to lure away some Team Flare Executives from the protagonist after having a very fake "I don't wanna be chased" and then running away. Two Team Flare Executives ''do'' go after her. But... unenthusiastically, one at a time, and at a slow pace while mumbling stuff that makes it clear they're only pursuing her to make sure she didn't trip over a power cord or something on accident that might screw this up.
*** Even more hilarious, Calem/Serena falls for it ''hook, line and sinker'', chasing after Shauna with more concern than the admins.

* When you first enter Lumiose City, the northern half of the city is inaccessible due to a power outage. If you're playing when it's night, it's easy to see the FridgeLogic when the lights behind the BrokenBridge are bright and working perfectly.
** Even funnier, the power plant workers will not allow you to pass. However, random [=NPCs=] will trot on by with no regard. What makes them so special?!

* A meta example--this Dorkly [[http://www.dorkly.com/article/55229/a-guide-to-understanding-new-pokemon-games article]] (recommended for people who haven't played since the era of ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue''), serving as a nice compilation of all of the new battling mechanics that have emerged in ''XY'' as well as their predecessors (which players are usually tasked with committing to memory if they wish to remain competitively viable).

* When you get to Route 14, Shauna gets you, Tierno, and Trevor to go to a supposed Haunted House. It sounds like an analogue to things like the Strange House or Old Chateau. In reality, it's a single home with a man who fails to tell a scary story, which resulted in some hilarious reactions from everybody. Optionally, you can even ''tip the guy'' and make the scene more hilarious.
** Even better, Tierno apparently spaced out the whole time! This was probably a reference to how much of an anti-climax it was.
** This takes place before reaching Route 14. After your discussion with Sycamore and Lysandre in the latter's café, Trevor gives you a message on the Holo Caster asking you to go to the aforementioned route. Now, you could immediately go straight to Route 14 and he'll greet you with "You arrived very quickly!", but this is where players will usually take this opportunity to explore Lumiose City to the fullest, getting every item (and skate trick) they can. Considering the size of this place, this can take an hour or 2, maybe longer depending on how you play. When you ''finally'' make it to Route 14, guess what Trevor says?
---> '''Trevor:''' "[[TakeYourTime You arrived]] [[BlatantLies very quickly!]]"

* The Team Flare grunts are prone to this in spite of their end goals.
** In Route 13, when you beat a Grunt at the entrance of the Power Plant, he mentions the ''exact location of the pass and walks off to wait''. Talk to him again and he laments how much trouble he'd be in if, ''hypothetically'', someone were to find the pass and use it to enter the Power Plant that is directly behind him. The next Grunt you meet afterwards mentions having no idea who you are even though you establish to them your status.
** The two disguised ones in Lysandre Cafe try to make sure you don't enter [[IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou by spilling the password and the fact there is a hidden door]].
*** Eventually, this all reaches a head where one of the Admins flat out tells you he won't tell you that the captured legendary Pokémon is further inside the base, and one of his Grunts flips out at him.
----> '''Team Flare Grunt:''' "Why would you tell them that?! Who would even do something like that?!"
** The RunningGag of the Grunts going on about how stylish their uniforms are.
*** If you talk to certain [=NPCs=], they'll say that they refused to join on account of how tacky the uniforms are.

* A Team Flare Grunt Lampshades his title. He says something to the effect of "I am just a nameless grunt. I have yet to make a name for myself."

* The hipsters that refuse to let you enter Route 15 because ''you're not cool enough to know about Route 15 yet''.
* In Frost Cavern, there's a hiker that yells in all-caps:
--> ''"MY TOES ARE FROZEN!"'''
-->''"I CAN'T STOP SHOUTING! I THINK I'LL FREEZE IF I DO!"''
* Blue has been to the Kalos Region. He got the Bonjour right, but he kept saying "Smell ya later!" when he left.
* When you meet the "Defenders of Kalos" in the Team Flare lab, your character seems to say something along the lines of, INeverToldYouMyName, because they quickly make a rather lame excuse for knowing it. (Yeah, those guys aren't fooling anyone.)
** Even funnier, when they walk up to you, you see them from behind and therefore can't see their masks. It's possible to miss the fact that they're even in disguise at all for a while.
* In a case of DevelopersForesight, interacting in Pokémon-Amie with Pokémon like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEwBnjY655g Ferroseed]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LVsQlbk0qI Slugma]] leads to some obvious results.
** It can also be funny when you discover a part that hurts you on a cute adorable Pokémon that just begs you to pet it. Such as Pikachu's cheeks or Aurorus's forehead gem.
*** Even better when you repeatedly hurt yourself on the Pokémon and they start to look at you, incredibly confused.
*** Pikachu seems to enjoy it when you rub its cheeks. It makes the same face as when you scratch its chin, and lets out an elated cry when you get shocked. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar It doesn't like being touched in the groin though]].
* In Pokémon-Amie, try feeding a Pokémon when it is full. It's like trying to feed medicine to a kid when they hilariously turn away from the Poké Puffs in front of them!
** Try grabbing a Puff then dropping it. The Pokémon will follow it with its eyes until it hits the ground, after which it'll either give you a confused look (if it's not hungry), get annoyed (if it's somewhat hungry), or get angry (if it's extremely hungry and of a certain species; Hydreigon, Axew, and Goomy being some examples).
** You can throw the puffs way offscreen to the left or right through dragging and letting go. After reading DevelopersForesight entries on the main page, you'd probably be half-expecting the Pokémon to fetch... but no, you still only get the Poképuff-following stare. It can be amusing seeing how long your Pokémon will stare at the Poképuff base on how far you threw it.
* Playing with any of the more intimidating Pokémon in Pokémon Amie. While some maintain a stoic, badass demeanor (even the relatively cute Umbreon maintains its poker face), others turn into a pile of happiness and cuddles. Including Yveltal, whose reaction is best summed up as "I AM THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION! I WILL SAP ALL LIFE FROM THIS EA....Oooooh, berry Poképuffs, my favorite!" Which leads to captions like [[http://cheezburger.com/7855721472?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TdwGeeks+(TDW+Geeks) these]].
** Yveltal makes this specially funny when you compare it to other powerful Pokémon. When you do play or interact with powerful or completely evolved Pokémon, they keep their cool most of the time (Lucario, Blaziken, and Mewtwo are the best examples), even after maxing affection. Yveltal? ''It acts like the baby Pokémon''. It cries in happiness when it sees you or you pet it, smiles when it hears your voice, and watches you with curiosity. It's funny and SugarWiki/{{heartwarming|Moments}} to see the ''incarnation of desctruction'' [[FluffyTheTerrible act like a kitten]].
*** This gives the impression that all its lives, Yveltal has been feared, and it's [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments just so happy that someone is kind to it that it's not even going to pretend to care about keeping up its appearance.]] Or possibly that it actually ''is'' a baby Yveltal, and regresses to infancy each time it hatches.
** Hydreigon is a similar case to Yveltal, being described as a vicious beast that destroys or devours anything that gets in its way or so much as moves, yet in Amie, it becomes extremely adorable, doing happy dances and smiling readily. It'll even offer a "high-five" with its center head by lunging at you in a fearsome manner, but will be thrilled if you tap it while it's doing this.
** Amusingly, the vast majority of serious and/or stoic Pokémon are still willing to lighten up and [[https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/7976606208/hD0248973/ give you a proper smile]] if you play the face imitating minigame with them and you're asked to make a big smile, which is simultaneously cute and hilarious.
*** Even the Pokémon who aren't willing to smile can nonetheless be made to look rather hilarious if you can get them imitate you tilting your head to the side and opening your mouth.
** [[http://i.imgur.com/CTHlrwS.jpg Giratina loves]] [[http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/673/330/39f.gif cupcakes.]]
** So does [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/675/752/2c3.png Rayquaza.]]
** Wailord is so huge that only a third of its face can be seen when you're interacting with it. It also eats Pokepuffs by slowly lurching forward and gulping it whole.
* Braixen is {{Tsundere}} for you. [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/a64e6e78bb5fa74de574a4c9b7561698/tumblr_mubja0fD5o1romni1o6_1280.jpg No, seriously.]]
** ...or any other Pokémon in Pokémon-Amie who displays {{Tsundere}} behavior, like Kirlia, Meowstic, Pangoro, and Mewtwo.
*** Kirlia in particular goes from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUVR5tPWU3U "deadpan serious" to "overly-enthusiastic ballerina"]] and back in no time at all.
* A few Pokémon, notably the unevolved ones, can high-five you if you put the cursor near their hands long enough. Others who lack hands will use their heads instead.

* Before you battle Siebold, he asks you if you think Pokémon battles are worthy of being called art. If you answer yes, he compares a battle to food, which is "art that vanishes as soon as it is complete." Which explains why if you answer No, he goes on a pissed off rant thinking all you want is to "fill your stomach with tasteless matter" before he challenges you.

* Possibly unintentional, but the Kalos Region is visibly based on Northern France, both in its general shape and in some of its locations. What's the water-type starter? A frog. Now what's the other derogatory term for a Frenchman besides CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys?
** Not to mention that the local pseudo-legendary is partially based on a snail. What's the other ForeignQueasine France is known for?
* Froakie resembles Benjamin Franklin. Greninja resembles a ninja. That leaves Frogadier in the transitory middle stage, and as such it looks like a [[HistoricalBadassUpgrade NINJA]] [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot BEN FRANKLIN]].
* After you defeat Team Flare in Glittering Cave, Calem/Serena will ask a scientist if Team Flare hurt him, and the scientist (who was fine all along) mispronounces their name as "Teemphlair" and asks if it's a Pokémon.

* While it's extremely difficult to achieve, if you show the Stats Judge a Pokémon with 0 [=IVs=] ''[[EpicFail in every stat]]'', he first talks about how all of them are its best stats, then describes how bad they all are.

* Attempting to use an egg in Pokémon-Amie
-->You can't play with an egg, silly!
* When you first encounter Team Flare inside the Pokéball Factory, Serena/Calem says to the grunt, "Did you have to get a part-time job to pay for that ugly suit?!" Ooh, burn!
* The Trainers that you battle are usually depicted by artwork, but there are 17 Trainers who are rendered with 3D models like the Pokémon[[note]]They are the main rival (either Serena or Calem), Shauna, Trevor, Tierno, Professor Sycamore, Team Flare Grunts and Admins, Aliana, Bryony, Celosia, Mable, Xerosic, Lysandre (who has 2 different sets of animations), and AZ[[/note]]. Each of them have 3 animations (one for their intro into battle, the second for when they toss a Poké Ball, and the last is when they lose the battle. AZ is the only one who has no losing animation). With that said, some of these animations can be pretty funny.
** Watch as Trevor tosses his Poké Ball in an awkward manner. His face says it all, as he strains while putting every ounce of strength into the toss. When he loses, he makes a "DO NOT WANT!" gesture, then holds his head down in shame.
** As for Professor Sycamore, it looks like he's taking his loss in stride, shrugging his shoulders while smiling, but you can see him frown a little before he also holds down his head.
** Team Flare's Celosia is ''very'' anxious. Her battle intro (while in Lysandre Labs) is her being surprised when she notices you, then she cowers. She throws her Poké Ball with no confidence whatsoever and when she loses? Celosia is so overdramatic that she does "The Scream" painting pose and slowly slinks to the ground off-screen.
*** Most of Team Flare's battle animations are pretty funny, for that matter. The Grunts and Admins in particular are [[EvilIsHammy incredibly over-the-top]] when they lose.
** AZ has quite possibly the most subdued way of tossing a Poké Ball ever. He just stands there with his arms at his sides, then gently lifts his right forearm to toss the Ball, like he's saying "[[AllLowercaseLetters yeah. torkoal, just go.]]" It can look pretty odd considering that Trainers seen not only in ''X & Y'', but all other forms of media for the ''Pokémon'' franchise (especially the [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} anime]]) toss Poké Balls in way more flashy and enthusiastic manners.
** Serena's exasperated FacePalm whenever you beat her.
* Trevenant's German name is "Trom''bork''". Try taking that seriously after watching Swedish Chef sketches from ''Series/TheMuppetShow''.
* Somewhat meta: AZ's artwork features him crouching down on one knee, holding a Poké Ball... ''between two fingers''. It's ''still'' hard to see.

* The placeholder text in case Nintendo somehow forgets to give a Wonder Card a title happen is "[[AscendedMeme A wild Wonder Card appears!]]"
* Lysandre immediately throws a tantrum after you foil his plans for genocide.
** The way he yells and throws his visor down makes it look like Lysandre simply ''RageQuit''. And yet Shauna and Calem/Serena take his ensuing rant completely seriously.
** If one looks closely, they can see Lysandre wears his Mega Ring on his middle finger. It's not hard to imagine Lysandre activating it by FlippingTheBird, considering your character raises the wrist their Mega Ring is on to activate it.
** Pay attention right after the fight. You can actually see Lysandre's visor on the floor where he threw it!
* Smeargle's "rejoice" animation (as seen in Pokemon-Amie) is that of an artist stepping back and looking approvingly at his work.
* Continuing on the jokes of [[http://i.imgur.com/hi8iE3b.png Alakazam being prepared for Vanilluxe's arrival]], we now have [[http://i.imgur.com/Fll7owe.png Mega Alakazam vs. a horde of Vanillite.]]

* An old man in Anistar City asks you to give him a level 5 or lower Pokemon to make him company, as his wife had just died. In the post-game, if you did lend him a Pokemon, you come back and find a Pokeball containing said Pokemon and a note thanking the player character for letting him enjoy his final moments. Normally, this is worthy of a TearJerker, but can be nastily turned into BlackComedy depending on the borrowed Pokemon. (e.g. Giving the old man a [[YourSoulIsMine Litwick]])

*** This gives the impression that all its lives, Yveltal has been feared, and it's [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming just so happy that someone is kind to it that it's not even going to pretend to care about keeping up its appearance.]] Or possibly that it actually ''is'' a baby Yveltal, and regresses to infancy each time it hatches.

* You can fight the Elite 4 in the Battle Chateau postgame, and sometimes they'll give you items. When Duke Wilkstrom gives you one, he says ''this:''

** Even funnier, when they walk up to you, you see them from behind and therefor can't see their masks. It's possible to miss the fact that they're even in disguise at all for a while.

-->'''Trevor''': Hey, <player>, have you caught Mewtwo yet? I thought so! I've caught one too!
