• Hugh's rival is Rosa, since she mentions being from the same hometown as him when she joins a team with him.
• During the Unova chapter of the Villain Arc, Colress refers to Hugh as "the boy with spiky hair like a Qwilfish", referencing a Team Plasma Grunt on the Plasma Frigate who also compares Hugh's hair to a Qwilfish.
• In a conversation with Hugh in the Pokémon Center, it is revealed that Hugh's sister's Purrloin, which was stolen by Team Plasma, had forgotten about Hugh and his sister by the time Hugh got it back and found out that it had evolved into a Liepard. Eventually, they were able to grow close again.
