There's also some chatter about the titular legendary Pokemon, Arceus, who apparently shaped everything in the world and is somehow connected to your story.

But it's 3D, and therefore better as a result.

You're also mostly catching critters and making them battle like the awful sadist that you are.

Things aren't all that different from your regular Pokemon game your character still starts the game by picking one of three starter Pokemon - Rowlet, Cyndaquil, or Oshawott - from a mysterious professor who has been travelling around the world and has presumably been the Johto, Unova and Alola regions. This is a 3D action RPG, similar in style to something like Zelda: Breath of the Wild, that sees players exploring an older version of the Sinnoh region in order to complete the first-ever Pokedex.

To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Game Freak has finally made that Zelda-esque Pokemon game you were all asking for. Like in previous games in the series, certain Pokémon are only obtainable in either X or Y, with players encouraged to trade with others in order to obtain all Pokémon from both versions.Title is set to launch for Nintendo Switch early next year. Players are also able to battle and trade Pokémon with other human players using the Nintendo 3DS's connectivity features. Alternatively, players can capture wild Pokémon, found during random encounters, by weakening them in battle and catching them with Poké Balls, allowing them to be added to their party. By defeating enemy Pokémon in turn-based battles, the player's Pokémon gains experience, allowing them to level up and increase their battle statistics, learn new battle techniques, and in some cases, evolve into more powerful Pokémon. The player controls a young trainer who goes on a quest to catch and train creatures known as Pokémon, and win battles against other trainers. It is also the first Pokémon game to have 3D functions.

Pokémon X and Y are role-playing video games with adventure elements, presented in a third-person, overhead perspective.
