Beware of this game-freezing glitch in Pokemon X/Y

Some Pokemon X/Y players have encountered a glitch after saving in certain areas outside of Lumiose City. The bug, which results in game freezing, affects both the physical and digital versions of the game.
One user described the issue over at GameFAQs:
I saved near a cab in Lumiose City and now whenever I try to restart my game it immediately freeezes. It loads my trainer and all of my clothes as well as the buildings and their lighting effects, but none of the objects in the streets or the textures on the buildings show up.
Pokémon-Amie is also frozen on my bottom-screen without loading anything and the game won’t return to the Home menu when I push my button. I can hard-shutoff, but the 3DS internal software is completely frozen.
Apparently, one solution involves removing the SD card, and then starting up X/Y normally. It’s not clear if this is a universal glitch, but perhaps Game Freak/Nintendo will consider releasing a patch if reports become more widespread.
