Pokemon X and Pokemon Y are the first pair of 'core' Pokemon games to launch on Nintendo's 3D handheld system, and promise to add a host of new features to the traditional catch 'em all gameplay the series is famed for. Taking full advantage of the power and 3D graphics of the 3DS, Pokemon X and Pokemon Y replace the original, top-down gameplay with a 3D world, complete with cel-shaded graphics and a dynamic camera system that takes you to the heart of the action.

Pokemon X and Pokemon Y also introduce new battle types, including Sky Battles for flying Pokemon, and Horde Encounters, where you'll be outnumberedby multiple Pokemon at once! More new gameplay features also include Pokemon-Amie, where you'll feed, pet and play with your Pokemon to strengthen the bond between you, and the Player Search System which will let you interact and battle with players around the world. Plus there are new O-Powers which can be used to power up your Pokemon and can be shared with other players.

A host of new Pokemon including Pangoro, Inkay, Malamar, Swirlix, Spritzee, Skrelp and Clauncher will be joined by two new Legendary Pokemon – Xerneas in Pokemon X, an X-shaped deer Pokemon with glowing antlers, and Yveltal in Pokemon Y, a Y-shaped Pokemon with talons on its wings and tail. Plus, get ready for the first new Pokemon Type in over a decade - the all-new Fairy-type Pokemon, with moves that are super effective against Dragon-type Pokemon!
