## Trivia

* The large magenta bed next to the small blue lamp in the player character's bedroom is a reference to how Pixelmon Lustrous Topaz is much larger than Pixelmon Topaz.
* The player character's house contains all evolution stones except an ice stone. This was implemented by MateyMax to allow for diverse team composition and to help with completing the massive regional Pokedex.
	+ The ice stone was not included for balance reasons, as Alolan Vulpix and Alolan Sandshrew can both be found on Route 19.
* Adventure Tip #4's advice about trespassing is a reference to one of the Pokemon Go loading screen messages, which tells players not to trespass.
	+ Ironically, to beat Pixelmon Lustrous Topaz, the player character must trespass on numerous occasions.
* Adventure Tip #5's advice to not trust people with tree names is in reference to the plot twist in Pixelmon Topaz that Professor Mango is in charge of Team Union.
	+ Despite this, Professor Aspen is entirely trustworthy during Pixelmon Lustrous Topaz and Pixelmon Winter Adventure.
* The player character has an item frame containing the logo for the map. It is unknown how this is the case.
	+ One possible theory is that the player is a devout believer in the simulation argument, and just so happened to guess the name of the simulation they reside in.
* The Pixelmon Introductory Book was added to the player character's bedroom in v1.6 to help players unfamiliar with the Pixelmon Mod's mechanics.
* The letter from Professor Kukui in the player character's house implies that the player character and their mother are originally from Alola, and had a somewhat close relationship with Kukui.
	+ This is further supported by the Strange Souvenir in the player character's bedroom. This item was used in Pokemon X&Y to tease the upcoming Pokemon Sun and Moon games.
* It is unknown why the player character's mother pairs formal attire with a paper crown.
	+ This may be a reference to the popular fan theory that she has no drip.
* The contents of the player character's house's attic imply that Champion Max resided in it during the events of Pixelmon Topaz.
	+ This lines up with the fact that he did not have a house in Korfin Town during the events of Pixelmon Topaz.
	+ This is further supported by the Old Newspaper, USB Stick, Plans, French Horn, Torchic plush, and blue bed.
		- The USB Stick and Plans were the items that Professor Mango asked the player character of Pixelmon Topaz to deliver, so it is unknown how Max would have obtained them.
		- Max is known to play the French Horn.
			* This is based off the fact that MateyMax plays the French Horn in real life.
	+ Max lived in this house at most until the player character from Pixelmon Topaz became champion, as he is then seen in an apartment in South Dimorn.
		- This is abandoned by the time of Pixelmon Lustrous Topaz, however, so it is unknown where he currently lives.
* On the TV in the player character's living room and in the player character's neighbor's living room, by pressing the button the player character can read about what is playing on the screen through the chat.
	+ Channel 4 is CraftBlock SMP. This is a reference to CraftBlock SMP on MateyMax's Youtube Channel.
		- The colors of the text, while labeled as "???," correspond to server members that MateyMax would typically record with. Blue is MateyMax, yellow is Kevin543, green is Allen/Phoenixjules, and purple is Chris/MateyMarvin.
			* PhoenixJules and MateyMarvin's likenesses were used as rivals in Pixelmon Lustrous Topaz. There is also a side NPC based on Kevin543 in Alibort city.
	+ Further channels are unavailable, as the player character's mother has not purchased other channels from Team Union. It can therefore be assumed that the player character's mother purchased cable solely to view CraftBlock SMP.
* The kitchen fridge in the player character's house contains a cookie named "C00kiez4life's Child". This is a reference to Pixelmon Lustrous Topaz map tester and creator of Pixelmon Obsidian C00kiez4life. It also references an event in CraftBlock SMP in which a special admin item was generated with the same name; it was continuously stolen from C00kiez4life and passed around between other players on the server.
* The blocked off room of the Mysterious House has several noteworthy features.
	+ There is a chest with six skulls, which lines up with the six missing children described in the article in the hidden room of the player character's house.
	+ This is also the room with the only End Portal
	+ There is a book in which the writer, presumably the owner of the house, states that they keep hearing "Ó´Ò∏ Â´" on repeat, and that it is "his" fault.
		- It is unknown whether this is the same writer as of the unfinished letter in the upstairs study, which is written to the current Champion, presumably of Marvix.
* In the market, the Fish Trader has a Flaaffy as his Pokemon, implying he may use electrofishing to catch fish.
* In the market, the Exploration Trader has a 1/9 chance of saying "You wanna know something? I found the clock and compass just lying on the ground in Dimasor. Weird, right?" This could be a reference to the Clock and Compass items from Pixelmon Topaz, which were in the starting chest of the maps' player character's house.
* In the market, the Fashion Trader has a 1/7 chance of saying "Out of the six shops here, mine is the best!" This is peculiar, due to there only being five shops.
	+ This could be a reference to the sixth stall underneath the market, only accessible via gamemode 3. It contains a Shadow Max related NPC, and is labeled "STALL 2.5"
	+ The fashion trader also references MateyMax, with the MateyMax mask and Vulpix mask (Vulpix is his favorite Pokemon).
		- Due to CustomNPCs/Minecraft quirks, the MateyMax mask is based on MateyMax's skin from several years ago when Pixelmon Lustrous Topaz first began development. It is possible that once the mask is bought and used for a while, it will update to MateyMax's current skin.
* The chatting NPC Miner in the Frosden Mines gives some interesting lore.
	+ He explains that Professor Aspen is from Galar, and that she doesn't give out starter Pokemon because she's new to the job.
	+ The reason that Marvix has the largest regional dex out of any region is because Team Union has been importing Pokemon.
	+ The Terranivus Island allegedly used to be ruled by Wild Glaceon, until Mega Evolution (specifically, Mega Blaziken) was introduced.
	+ The gray glass blocks with sea lanterns underneath them are actually heaters provided by Team Union to stop the snow from covering the mines.
* A chatting hiker NPC in the Market references being unable to play Minecraft Earth due to poor cell service.
	+ This NPC was added to the map prior to the shutdown of Minecraft Earth.
* There are several signs placed as Easter Eggs behind the Pokemon Center, meaning they are only viewable using HM Fly or through cheats.
* The road to Civauris City is closed due to Wild Pokemon invasion, however, the road clearly has less wild Pokemon than Route 19.
	+ When the player character points this out to the police officer blocking the road, they state that it's simply what the law says. This may be a reference to the inefficient legal system and incompetent police force in Marvix.
