The Sixth generation of Pokémon, and the first one for the Nintendo 3DS. Pokémon X and Y introduced a lot of new mechanics, most notoriously the "Mega Evolution", an extra evolution level activated by evolution stones, the Fairy type, and the posibility of customize the look of your player character. This generation introduced the least new Pokémon, only 72, moves and abilities of all generations.
The games take place in the France based Kalos region. As usual, the main goal is to become a champion by defeating the local league, and fighting against the local evil team, this time called Team Flare, whose goal is bring beauty to the world by eliminating the ugly -for them humanity as a whole qualifies as "ugly".
In a first, the games were released released worldwide in October 2013, making them the first Nintendo-published retail games to have a simultaneous global release in all key regions. Each released contains all languages on the same cartridge, but you can only choose one at the start of the game.
