Pokemon x y series#

PokР“В©mon X and Y are the first titles in the main series presented in fully 3D polygonal graphics, allowing for more interactivity with the overworld and more dynamic action during battles. Like with previous games in the series, certain PokР“В©mon are only obtainable in either X or Y, keeping players encouraged to trade with others in order to obtain all PokР“В©mon. Players are also able to battle and trade PokР“В©mon with other human players using the Nintendo 3DS's internet features, which were enhanced in the sixth generation games. Alternatively, players can capture wild PokР“В©mon found during random encounters by weakening them in battle and catching them with PokР“В© Balls to be added to the player's party. By defeating opposing PokР“В©mon in turn-based battles, the player's PokР“В©mon gain experience, allowing them to level up and increase their battle statistics, learn new moves, and in some cases, evolve into more powerful PokР“В©mon.

The player controls a young trainer who goes on a quest to catch and train creatures known as PokР“В©mon and win battles against other trainers. They are also the first PokР“В©mon games to include 3D functions compatible with the consoles in the Nintendo 3DS family. PokР“В©mon X and Y are role-playing video games with adventure elements, presented in a third-person, overhead perspective. As of 30 September 2021, a combined total of 16.58 million copies have been sold, making X and Y the second best-selling games on the system after Mario Kart 7. The highly anticipated games were a commercial success, selling four million copies worldwide in the first weekend, beating their predecessors PokР“В©mon Black and White's record and making them the fastest-selling games on the 3DS. The games' visuals and transition to 3D models were well received by critics, though the games' story received criticism. X and Y received positive reviews from critics, who praised the advancements in the gameplay and innovations that the developers brought to the franchise. Both titles are independent of each other, but feature largely the same plot, and while each can be played separately, trading PokР“В©mon between the two games is, as with past titles, necessary in order for a player to obtain every PokР“В©mon species. A new form of PokР“В©mon evolution, known as 'Mega Evolution,' allows players to further evolve many species of fully evolved PokР“В©mon, with 30 of these evolutions available in these games. X and Y introduced 72 new PokР“В©mon species, and includes new features such as the new Fairy-type, character customization, updated battle and training mechanics, and completely rendered polygonal 3D graphics as opposed to the sprites used in previous generations. This time, the games take place in the Kalos region-based on France-with the objective being to thwart the schemes of the nefarious criminal organization Team Flare, all while attempting to challenge the PokР“В©mon League Champion. First announced in January 2013 by former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata through a special Nintendo Direct, PokР“В©mon X and PokР“В©mon Y were released worldwide in October 2013, making them the first Nintendo-published retail games to have a simultaneous global release in all key regions.Р”Р„s with previous installments, both games follow the journey of a young PokР“В©mon trainer and friends, as they train PokР“В©mon. They are the first installments in the sixth generation of the main PokР“В©mon video game series.

PokР“В©mon X and PokР“В©mon Y are 2013 role-playing video games developed by Game Freak, published by The PokР“В©mon Company and Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS.
