Calem is a tall and svelte boy. He has straight, medium length black hair and gray eyes. He is usually seen wearing a red outdoors cap and black ide-frame sunglasses. He also wears a blue zipped jacket with white stripes, blue skinny jeans, black ankle socks, and black short boots with blue laces. He carries around a black two-tone bag with blue decals on it. He wears his Mega Ring on his left wrist.

Calem's appearance can be customized during the game. If not chosen as the player character, Calem does not wear his cap and sunglasses on.

Personality[]

When acting as the player character's rival, Calem appears to be a very mature Trainer with a deeply ingrained sense of justice. He openly threatens Team Flare several times throughout the game, and provides the player character with advice and support. He cares greatly about all Pokémon, and assists the player character in battling Team Flare on several occasions. He is a good sportsman, who does not take losing badly, merely using it as an opportunity to improve himself. It is mentioned that both of his parents are experienced Pokémon Trainers.

Trivia[]

Prior to the release of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, pre-release media referred to Calem as 'Xavier'.
He has a very close resemblance with Hilbert, the male protagonist from the Generation V's Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version.
Rather than having more summer-focused clothes (skin baring) like his female counterpart, Calem has a larger variety of purchasable clothes better fit for cold weather, such as jackets and hoodies.
Ash Ketchum's outfit for traveling through the Kalos region is based on Calem's own starter outfit.
