Enhancements

3D Enhancement

Pokémon X Version and Pokémon Y Version are the first two Pokémon games that are completely in a 3-dimensional style of gameplay on a handheld system. Each and everything has been changed since the release of previous Pokemon games. The sprites have been changed into 3D designed models from the characters to the Pokémon. The appearance of a Pokémon has also not been changed as seen in the trailer when the male protagonist was running through the grass and encountered a Pikachu.

Battle System Enhancement

The battle system in video games also went under a 3-dimensional style. As seen in the trailer of the video game there were different Pokémon battles introduced. The attack of a Pokémon will be shown in a 3D style against another Pokémon. It will even show how the Pokémon will move when it's being attacked or vice versa by the opponent.

Pokémon

Starter Pokémon

The trailer also shows off three new Pokémon which appear to be the Fire, Grass and Water starters.

Chespin, a Grass-type Pokémon: a brown, Erinaceidae-looking Pokémon with a spiked green hat, small arms and a small tail.
Fennekin, a Fire-type Pokémon: an orange, fox-looking Pokémon with flame-like fur emerging from its ears. Fennekin also shares its name and appearance with the Fennec Fox.
Froakie, a Water-type Pokémon: a blue, frog-looking Pokémon with a white puffball on its back.

Mascots

The two legendary Pokémon that are the mascots for Pokémon X Version and Pokémon Y Version have been officially named as: Xerneas and Yveltal. Xerneas is deer-like with rainbow antlers, who is shaped like the letter X when it's legs are apart, while Yveltal bird-like avian of some sort, who is shaped like the letter Y. Yveltal symbolizes quetzalcoatl, the serpent god of the Aztec people.

Trivia

The region's name is Kalos, inspired by the country France.
- Interestingly, the two monuments showed in the trailer are in Île-de-France.
- During the trailer of the video game, Pikachu is standing on the Eiffel Tower, and a structure resembling the Eiffel Tower is the centerpiece of the games' main city, Lumiose City.
These are the first Pokémon titles that allow you to choose what colour the player character's bicycle is (yellow or green).
These are the first main Pokémon titles that uses single letters instead using colors or materials for the sub-title.
These are the first two games to have their mascots' English names released before their Japanese names.
X and Y are used because they are both international letters for the world, since the game launches the same day all over the world.
This Generation is bound to bring significant changes to the series:
- A bond mechanic known as Pokémon-amie revealed by Junichi Masuda in his blog on 1/21/2013. This may be the way to get Sylveon.
- 3D models for the characters and Pokémon.
- 3D overworld.
- Trainer customization.
- Temporary, in-battle evolution called Mega Evolution, which only works on select Pokémon from Generations I-IV. They must be holding an item called a Mega Stone that corresponds to one Pokémon.
These games are the first to introduce new forms of old Pokémon: Mewtwo, Lucario, Blaziken, Gardevoir, Absol, Ampharos, Abomasnow, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Garchomp, Mawile, Kangaskhan, Gengar, Gardevoir, Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Aggron and Tyranitar.
This is currently the only main series game where the player character can ride a Pokémon other than by Diving, Flying or Surfing because you can ride Skiddo, Gogoat, Mamoswine, and Rhyhorn around select cities, towns, and routes.
This will be the first region since Johto to introduce a new type of Pokémon, Fairy-Type.
The new Fairy- type Pokémon are Sylveon, Flabebé, Spritzee, Swirlix, and Xerneas. Also, Gardevoir, Marill, Mawile, and Jigglypuff have been retyped to Psychic/Fairy, Water/Fairy, Steel/Fairy, and Normal/Fairy, respectively.
The games were released early by select retailers in a few countries.
These games introduced the fewest new Pokémon in a single generation, with 70 completely new Pokémon and 20 Mega Evolutions.
Depending on which game you have, Charizard and Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions will be different.
In the UK Pokémon X & Y were released in stores; GAME and HMV a day early and this technically means that for the first time the UK got a Pokémon Game Release before Japan and America
