Trivia

• Prior to the release of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, pre-release media referred to Calem as 'Xavier'.
• He has a very close resemblance with Hilbert, the male protagonist from the Generation V's Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version.
• Rather than having more summer-focused clothes (skin baring) like his female counterpart, Calem has a larger variety of purchasable clothes better fit for cold weather, such as jackets and hoodies.
• Ash Ketchum's outfit for traveling through the Kalos region is based on Calem's own starter outfit.
