The sixth generation in the series, Pokémon X and Y have a lot of promising features! Here’s what we’re excited about for Pokémon X and Y.
Ever since the January announcement of Pokémon X and Y, we couldn’t wait to get our hands on the games! Now, after what feels like a year of waiting, the big day’s finally arrived!
The best features of the sixth generation of Pokémon are brand new to Pokémon X and Y, creating amazing new opportunities for trainers!
3D graphics
Seeing battles in 3D on a handheld will be amazing. The moving camera angles and 3D models of the creatures will surely blow us away.
Walking around in the overworld in 3D will also prove amazing, given the ability it adds to movement…
Diagonal movement
The ability to move diagonal is something that is long overdue for the Pokémon series. Thankfully, with both the addition of 3D graphics and the 3DS’ analog nub, we’ll be able to walk in any direction we please!
Horde and Random encounters
The fact that we can gain massive EXP with one on six battles is exhilarating. More exciting is the fact that there will be ever changing Pokémon found in grass, routes, caves, ect. No more relentless attacks from Zubats? One can dream…
Riding Pokemon
Not only will riding on Pokémon look super cool, it will also allow us to do something in the overworld that we never could before: jump over ledges. Any Pokémon trainer can relate that this is one of the most frustrating parts of the older games.
Mega Evolutions
Old favorites will be changed forever (in battle) holding special Mega Evolution stones. One of the coolest additions to the Gen. VI Mega Evolutions thus far is Mega Charizard X. Fire/Dragon typing FTW!
TONS of new Pokemon
We haven’t even scratched the surface from all of the Pokémon officially confirmed for Pokémon X and Y. We’re, naturally, most excited for this. We can’t even imagine all of the possibilities of new creatures Game Freak has in store!
