The previous generation of games introduced Challenge Mode and Easy Mode, which had to be unlocked in Black 2 & White 2, respectively.
Is there any similar mechanic in X & Y, either as a mode to start in or enable mid-game? All I have seen is speculation from before the games were released.

Having completed the game and done much of the postgame stuff, I belive I can say with a fair degree of confidence that no there is no different difficulty setting.
