Pokémon X and Y are role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. They are the first installments in the sixth generation of the Pokémon series of role-playing games. Both games were first announced on January 8, 2013 by Satoru Iwata through a special Nintendo Direct,however both X and Y were released worldwide on October 12, 2013, making them the first Nintendo-published retail games to have such a global simultaneous release in all key regions.
Similar to previous installments, both games follow the journey of a young Pokémon trainer (and their friends) as they train Pokémon. This time, the game is based in the Kalos region, based on France, and the object of the game is to thwart the schemes of the nefarious criminal organization Team Flare, all while attempting to challenge the Pokémon League Champion. X and Y introduced 69 new Pokémon species.
It also introduced new features including a new Fairy type, character customization, new battle and training mechanics, as well as completely rendered polygonal 3D graphics rather than sprites.
A new form of Pokémon evolution, known as "Mega Evolution," allows players to further evolve many species of fully evolved Pokémon. Both titles are independent of each other, but feature largely the same plot, and while both can be played separately, as with past titles trading Pokémon between both of the games is necessary in order obtain every Pokémon species.
Pokémon X and Y are role-playing video games with adventure elements, presented in a third-person, overhead perspective. The player controls a young trainer who goes on a quest to catch and train creatures known as Pokémon, and win battles against other trainers. By defeating enemy Pokémon in turn-based battles, the player's Pokémon gains experience, allowing them to level up and increase their battle statistics, learn new battle techniques, and in some cases, evolve into more powerful Pokémon.
Alternatively, players can capture wild Pokémon, found during random encounters, by weakening them in battle and catching them with Poké Balls, allowing them to be added to their party. Players are also able to battle and trade Pokémon with other human players using the Nintendo 3DS's connectivity features. Like in previous games in the series, certain Pokémon are only obtainable in either X or Y, with players encouraged to trade with others in order to obtain all Pokémon from both versions.
Gotta catch them all!
