For example, $25$ on base $10$ is equal to $5^2$.
This should be pretty easy to solve using fairly simple arithmetic.
But I'm finding it hard to generate any other solutions besides the one mentioned above.

Here are two more specific solutions: $52_6=2^5$ and $73_{312}=3^7$.
I got both of these by solving your equation for the base $B$: $B=\frac{Y^x-Y}{X}$. You then need solutions where $B>X$. One thing to note is that if $Y$ is prime, then $B$ works out to be an integer because of Euler's Theorem.
