In the games, players can discover new Pok\u00e9mon, interact with them like never before, connect with Trainers around the world and explore an entirely new region that is brought to life with stunning new visuals.<\/p>\n

“More than 15 years after its initial debut, Pok\u00e9mon remains one of the strongest franchises in video games,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America\u2019s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “With Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em> and Pok\u00e9mon Y<\/em>, the series has evolved in a breathtaking way. It’s time to once again catch \u2019em all!”<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em> and Pok\u00e9mon Y<\/em> feature a wide array of new and returning Pok\u00e9mon to catch, battle and trade. Players will be introduced to a new generation of Pok\u00e9mon, including three new Pok\u00e9mon to choose from at the beginning of the game \u2013 the Grass-type Chespin, Fire-type Fennekin and Water-type Froakie \u2013 and epic Legendary Pok\u00e9mon. Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em> presents the majestic and mysterious Xerneas, while Pok\u00e9mon Y<\/em> features the strong and powerful Yveltal.

The battle system in Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em> and Pok\u00e9mon Y<\/em> has also experienced a major evolution, with new awe-inspiring Mega Evolutions and powerful new moves that certain Pok\u00e9mon can use. In Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em> and Pok\u00e9mon Y<\/em>, a dynamic camera rotates around the battle, showing off the games’ exquisite animations and detailed graphics. New Horde Encounters take battling in the wild to a new, intense level that pits the player and a single Pok\u00e9mon against multiple wild Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

As players explore the new, beautiful Kalos region, they will visit rolling meadows, high cliffs, deep caves and unique towns and cities, each packed with caf\u00e9s, boutiques and various shops.

Pok\u00e9mon-Amie is a new mode in which players can pet, feed and play games with individual Pok\u00e9mon using the touch screen on the Nintendo 3DS system. By interacting with their Pok\u00e9mon, players can bond with them, which will result in higher performance in battles. Players can also engage in Super Training with Pok\u00e9mon to help them grow stronger when not in battle. The new Player Search System (PSS) makes it easy for players to connect, battle and trade with others nearby and around the world.<\/p>\n
