Trivia

• Brycen is the third gym leader (after Pryce and Candice) in the main game series to specialize in Ice-type Pokémon. .
• His Japanese Leader title is アイス　マスク / Aisu Masuku. "Ice Mask", a title that belonged to Pryce in the manga.
  • Also all ice-type gym leaders use Ice-type Pokémon and are the 7th of their respective regions.
  • He is the third and last gym leader in the game (first being the Striaton gym leaders Chili, Cress, and Cilan and the second being the Nacrene gym leader Lenora) who doesn't have some special meeting with the main character before the gym battle.
  • Also, amongst the Unova Gym Leaders, his title is the shortest.
• Brycen is the only Ice-type Gym Leader whose team is pure Ice-type, as all Generation V Ice-type Pokémon, other than Kyurem, are pure Ice-type.
• A little girl says Brycen was once in a film. This could be a hint at Brycen's involvement in Pokéstar Studios in Black and White 2.
