Trivia

• Calem is based on the rival in the Kalos-based games, as Serena says he's her neighbor who taught her about being a Trainer. In addition, he appears during the story event Revel in Rivalry and the special event Rival Challenge, two events in which the only characters who appear are rivals from the core series games.
• All versions of Calem use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon) and victory with them. Those Trainers include Serena, Shauna, Tierno, Korrina, Diantha, Professor Sycamore, and Trevor.
• In his Champion outfit's sync pair story, Calem reveals he met Greninja as a Froakie soon after departing on his journey.

Origin

Calem's design is based on his appearance in Pokémon X and Y. Espurr and Meowstic are Pokémon that Calem uses as the rival character in the Kalos-based core series games. Espurr and Meowstic's Dex entries come from Pokémon X.

Fennekin is one of the first partner Pokémon of Kalos in the core series games. As the rival character, Fennekin and its evolutions are Calem's signature Pokémon if the player chooses Chespin as their first partner Pokémon in the Kalos-based core series games. Fennekin's Dex entry comes from Pokémon X.

Greninja is the final evolution of Froakie, one of the first partner Pokémon of Kalos in the core series games. As the rival character, Greninja is Calem's signature Pokémon if the player chooses Fennekin as their first partner Pokémon in the Kalos-based core series games. In addition, Calem's Pokémon Adventures counterpart temporarily uses Y's Greninja during the manga. Greninja's Dex entry comes from Pokémon X.
