Pokemon X & Y are the newest installations to the video game series of Pokemon. They will be coming to the 3DS on October 12th.

Another new feature is Mega Evolutions. A player will recieve a stone that can be given to a few select pokemon. This will allow players to mega evolve certain pokemon once per battle to make them more powerful. This evolution will also cause the pokemon to change their type. Some mega evolutions differ between X & Y.

A new type of pokemon was added to this generation. It is the Fairy type. They are strong against dragon, fighting, and dark. They are weak against fire, steel, and poison.

Throughout Pokemon X and Y, there are mini games where you can interact with your pokemon such as petting them and feeding them causing them to like you even more. The more your pokemon likes you the more effective they will be in battle. You can also train your pokemon's stats through mini games.
