Design and Pose corrections#
The following information comes from the XLS sheet ★ポケモン監修用資料\その他共通資料\ネガティブチェックによる修正 in GFDocs.7z.
This is a document detailing all of the changes done to the designs of Pokémon and human characters from early concept art to final concept art for both Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, ensuring their designs aren't either culturally offensive, age-inappropriate, or copyright infringing. These were all followed by a region name, implied to be whatever branch of the Pokémon Company International that pointed out the concern.

かしこいピカチュウ [Clever Pikachu] |
 |
 |
※欧米 |
While the dress-up Pikachu is to be female only, the Clever one obviously wore male clothes, which is odd; that could be perceived as male chauvinism, as if women had to dress like men to look smart.
|
FCフーパ [Hoopa Form Change] |
 |
 |
※欧米 |
Adjusted: the protruding parts below its waist suggested obscene stuff.

|

 |
※欧米 |

|
ホムラ [Tabitha] |
 |
 |
※欧米 本件はカガリ・したっぱでも同対応を行った。 |
Revised: pointed out that his right arm could be regarded as a preparatory action of the Nazi salute, as it would resemble the horizontally positioned arm [before extending it upwards] as in [quote from Japanese Wikipedia of the salute procedure]; and that turning his hand placed at his chest into a fist would resolve the issue.
|
カガリ [Courtney] |
 |
 |
※欧米 |
Revised: pointed out that her skirt was [too] short.
|
イズミ [Shelly] |

|
うきわガール [Tuber] |
 |
 |
※欧米 |

|
ドラゴンつかい [Dragon Tamer] |
 |
 |
また、マントや色も含め全体で見たときに胸のマークもバットマンから想起して作られたもののように思えるため、胸のマークも修正してほしいという指摘を受け、修正。 ※欧米 |
Revised: pointed out that it was strongly suggestive of Batman, namely the color scheme of yellow and black on the chest symbol and its surroundings, boots, and the belt resembling that of Batman's costume, requiring revision on the key colors; and that the chest mark even appeared to be designed based on Batman and needed revision, given the overall impression including the cape and the color.

おとなのおねえさん [Beauty] |
 |
 |
振り返るポーズは「誘っている」もしくは「ついてきて」といった感じがし、 衣装デザインとの組み合わせで 娼婦のような印象を受ける。またバッグを持った手の手つきからも同様の印象を受ける。表情：特に目の表情が「挑発的」な印象を与え、ポーズや衣装との組み合わせで娼婦のような印象を助長している。小さなハンドバッグ、 ハイヒール共に娼婦の典型的な服装。という指摘を受け、修正。 ※欧米 |
Revised: pointed out that she had a prostitute air as a whole, which needed revision—chiefly the seducing, "come along" appearance by the look-back pose, combined with the clothes design; the manner of her hand holding the bag; the countenance, with the provocative eyes in particular, combined with the pose and the clothes; and the typical small handbag and high-heeled shoes of prostitutes.
|
トライアスロン自転車 [Triathlete Biker] |
 |
 |
※欧米 |
Revised: pointed out that the attachment with the Poké Ball to the back part of the bike saddle appeared obscene due to the position in relation to his buttocks.

Unused Shelly leg slit redesign#
It was mentioned that the slip on Shelly's legs were opened high up, displaying an edit to the side to cover up the circle segment of the slit with cloth. However, this change never was implemented into the games or official art, which kept the original design.

Abandoned Ship#
In the same document it's shown that the Abandoned Ship from the original Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire was planned to be recreated in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. However, after a Korean ferry capsized and sank in 2014, the Abandoned Ship was replaced with the decrepit research platform Sea Mauville. The presentation contains an entry from the captain's log as well a list of the changes made to avoid controversy:
