The comic was based on the storyline of {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} up until the appearance of [[Scott]] after the events in [[Slateport City]]'s Oceanic Museum, when it set {{game|Emerald}} as its base. | ||
The first issue was published on June 2, 2003, and the most recent page was published in December 2013 (dated May 2010). Over this nine-year period, over 1000 pages have been published. The date of the most recent comic published does not match the actual date of publication; Recon Dye has stated that this is because he lists the date as the date he intended the comic to be published. The comic originally updated three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but school and other activities have lately caused Recon to update far more slowly than he intended. Pokémon-X is now over two years behind schedule, but the author is attempting to catch up as quickly as possible. Recon suffered an injury that slowed the catching up, and that injury makes it hard to sit at his computer. The comic itself had a long period between its last April 2011 update and the first comic published in May 2011 of no updates, but slowly Recon has been catching up. Currently the most recent update has been published between December 2015 to February 2016. | The first issue was published on June 2, 2003, and the most recent page was published in December 2013 (dated May 2010).

Much of the humor in ''Pokémon-X'' is derived from discrepancies or otherwise unexplained events in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and other Pokémon games. Most of the time when Brendan mentions Johto or any of its native Pokémon that aren't in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]], May, Wally, and most other characters seem confused and appear to have not have heard of them (emphasizing the incompatibility between [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{Gen|III}}). Pokémon-X also explains what happens to fainted Pokémon and who places the hidden [[item]]s on routes, both times at Brendan's expense. Brendan is also known to hold a newly-obtained item in the air while it glows brightly (much to the dismay of anyone looking in his direction at the time); a mysterious, disembodied voice then states the name of the item, much like in {{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}. Brendan is completely oblivious of these events. | Much of the humor in ''Pokémon-X'' is derived from discrepancies or otherwise unexplained events in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and other Pokémon games.

The humor also seems to highlight things within the game, such as the misspelling of {{p|Mawile}}'s name in its {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}} Pokédex entry.

This was shown after [[Wally]]'s encounter with a Mawile in [[Granite Cave]], when Brendan checks out the Pokémon's entry with his own Pokédex. | ||
