Pokemon Update: Pokemon X And Y

The Pokemon Company revealed more info on 5 more Pokemon! 

If you don't know yet, this little guy was announced a while back. His name is Pancham, a fighting type Pokemon.


While he doesn't look like much, this little dude will evolve into the newly announced, Fighting/Dark type Pangoro.


Then, this Psychic/Dark Pokemon is Inkay, available in both Pokemon X and Y. Inkay can use the new Dark type move, Topsy-Turvy. Topsy-Turvy reverses all the stat changes on a target Pokemon. For example, if your opponent uses Defense Curl to raise their defense, Topsy-Turvy will reverse the effect and lower their defense instead.


Then, Inkay will evolve into the Psychic/Dark Pokemon, Malamar.


Now, meet this fluffy cottonball-looking thing, Swirlix, is of the new Fairy type, and is exclusive to Pokemon X. Swirlix Can use the new Abilty, Sweet Veil. Sweet Veil prevents your team from falling asleep, which is useful in Double or Triple Battles. Swirlix can use the new Fairy move Draining Kiss, which does damage and restores health (like Giga Drain).


Now this Fairy type Pokemon is Spritzee, exclusive to Pokemon Y, and is known to be able to use Aromatherapy.


Now the Legendary Pokemon exclusive to Pokemon X is Xerneas, whose signature move is Geomancy. It has the Fairy Aura ability, which buffs Fairy type Pokemon. I'm guessing Game Freak is expecting people to actually use the Fairy type?


Now this half badass/half total mess is Yvetal, a Flying/Dark Pokemon whose signature move is Oblivion Wing. It also has a buffing Ability, Dark Aura, which powers up Dark Pokemon.


Pokemon X and Y will also be introducing some new mechanics. Here are some:

Sky Battles


These are battles in which only Flying Pokemon can battle, however, if a Pokemon has the Levitate Ability, they can participate in these battles too.

Horde Battles


Certain Pokemon can now appear in hordes. However, don't expect to be able to send out 5 Pokemon at once to even things out. You can still only send out one Pokemon at a time. So in these battles, the moves you choose and what Pokemon to attack are critical.

Riding Pokemon


You can now ride certain Pokemon in certain areas, such as this Gogoat.

Rollerblades


You can now Rollerblade around, but it's unknown whether or not these will replace the Running Shoes or Bicycle.

Customization

You can choose a preset Trainer to get a look matches your appearance more.


That's all for now, I'll keep you updated on any more news. Thanks for reading!
