Link to the comic for your convenience
Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There are TWO Losses, TWO Balthazars and NO JoJo reference. Bonus panels don't count.
1: Link got his own Pokémon outfit: Blue, from Pokémon Red/Blue. And yes, known as Gary Oak in the anime, Abdulaziz Alaryani!
2: The gang leaves Cynthia near Valley Windworks, as we can see in the first panel in the background through the portal.
3: Lumiose Tower is visible in the background of the first panel, indicating we're indeed visiting Kalos. Good catch, edmg7.
4: The Wooden Plank coloured Poké Ball makes another appearance in the second panel, but no one noticed.
5: Balthazar/Baltabun and his Buneary girlfriend also make another appearance in the background of the second panel. I'll give both Nunya.Byznys and Lilly Jade Katrin a point for this one.
6: There's a Kalos-style route sign in the background of the second panel. I don't think those signs appear in any other Pokémon game.
7: Yep, you're right Noah. Kazuya actually shows emotions in this comic because his best friend Incineroar is in danger. He's hugging him tight in the final panel.
8: Nurse Joy is holding the Revive and a Full Restore she used to nurse Incineroar back to health. Good catch, Aris!
9: Xerneas lives in a Master Ball, as we can see in the fifth panel. Probably caught by some kid who doesn't know you can catch legendaries in regular balls, Zach.
10: The gang uses Xerneas antlers as a spot to put up Christmas decorations! Cozy huh, Shelby Kinkead?
11: ...and in these Christmas lights, we can find first loss out of two, Jon Brouse!
12: Mink coloured the mugs and the table in the final panel, and he hid a lot of references. Kazuya's mug has a G Corporation logo on it, there's a second Balthazar on the cup in front of Pikachu, there are Poké Balls on Mewtwo's mug, there's a "Gingerbrave" on the mug between Pikachu and Squirtle (whatever a Gingerbrave may be), there's a Delibird on the mug in front of Pokémon trainer, there's a Thicc Tom Nook (from the Animal Crossing comics) mug in front of Isabelle, Banjo's mug has Jiggies on it, Link's mug has Koroks, and Samus' mug has little Metroids. AquariusNerd, Jeffrey Solis, Hunion, Maikel van Dijk, Luke and Daniel Myhre found some of these!
13: The table cloth also has some cute Mario-style stars and snowflakes on it, as pointed out by Lord Circe.
14: The gang is eating Poffins, as it's indeed a delicacy in Sinnoh, CSDX!
15: The legendaries outside of the Poké Center are wearing little Christmas hats. And they indeed seem to like them, Phloxiana.
16: Squirtle is wagging his little tail because he's so happy/excited. I love him.
17: The notes in Jigglypuff's song are accurate! They should match the melody she sings in the anime. Cool huh? Noticed by Adan Esparza.
18: Speaking of Jigglypuff: Lucario is falling asleep while listening to it, as pointed out by Cameron Devera.
19: Zelda is pointing up to the mistletoe above her and Link, and Young Link doesn't like that. Trouble in paradise, Trey.
20: The first crewmate in this comic is hidden as one of Ivysaur's spots.
21: And the second one is on the tablecloth, right above Isabelle's nose.
22: The second loss in this comic is hard to spot, but it's on the pink Poffin in front of Squirtle. Good eyes, Trigger!
22: Apparently there's also a Genshin Impact reference (by Mink) on the tablecloth. I think it's one of the stars.
23: And finally: Mewtwo, being a Psychic Pokémon, is levitating his mug. Good catch, Zanreo!
Next week, I'll reveal all the details that haven't been found. These ones are written in italic.
