After a quick search, Luma corrected themselves: “Sorry for the confusion! Let me be precise. The actual last official update for Pokémon X and Y was in title version terms? No — that’s not accurate. The truth: The final update was 1.5 on the eShop? Wait, I think I’m mixing it up with another game.”
Luma continued: “Nintendo’s last patch for X & Y was ? Actually, looking it up — the final eShop update was Version 1.5 ? No, I recall it was 1.5 in some region’s listing? Hmm.

Sam was excited. After finishing Pokémon X for the third time, they heard rumors online about a “Pokémon X Update 1.5 CIA” that supposedly added new Mega Evolutions, a battle frontier, and even allowed trading with Sun & Moon . Same old Lumiose City
Luma pulled out their phone. “Okay, here’s the truth: The last official update for Pokémon X & Y on 3DS was in numerical terms? No — that’s wrong. Let me clarify.”
