'''Pokémon X''' and '''Pokémon Y''' are two versions of a handheld monster-collecting RPG which constitute the sixth generation of the ''[[Portal: Pokémon|Pokémon]]'' series. They are also the first ''Pokémon'' games of the main series to be released on the [[Nintendo 3DS]].

=Story=

These games are set in the region of Kalos, where [[Calem/Serena|a young trainer]] has just moved to Vaniville Town with their mother. They receive a starter Pokémon from [[Professor Sycamore]] and set off on an adventure to challenge the region's Pokémon League, a quest which consists of defeating the eight gym leaders to win their respective badges and then defeating the Elite Four. The trainer also receives a mission to look into the mysteries of Mega Evolution and end up having various clashes against a villainous group known as [[Team Flare]] throughout their journey.

=Gameplay=

These games follow the basic gameplay of the ''Pokémon'' games, in which the player controls a young trainer on a journey which consists of catching, training and battling Pokémon. This generation retains the option to choose the player character's gender from the past few generations, while also adding further customization options and accessories for the player character. Some of the new gameplay changes include the additon of a new Pokémon type, the Fairy type, as well as the introduction of Mega Evolution. With this feature, some fully evolved Pokémon can use special items known as Mega Stones to temporarily evolve into a more powerful Mega Evolved forms. Some other gameplay features involve Sky Battles, which are battles for flying Pokémon held in midair with a different perspective, and Horde Encounters, in which the player's Pokémon can battle up to five wild Pokémon at the same time.

There is also a featured known as Pokémon-Amie, in which players can use the touch screen to feed, pet and play with Pokémon in order to build up bonds with them.

=Connectivity=

''X'' and ''Y'' can connect to each other as well as to ''Omega Ruby'' or ''Alpha Sapphire'' through the 3DS's wireless connection or through Wi-Fi, for the purpose of trading or battling Pokémon, although Pokémon with abilities, Mega Evolutions, moves or alternate forms from the latter games cannot be used either for trade or battle with ''X'' and ''Y''. These games bear a feature known as the Player Search System for keeping track of online players in order to easily arrange trades and battles, as well as other featues such as O-Powers (temporary stat-boosting powers that can be traded among players) and Wonder Trade, in which players can trade Pokémon at random. ''X'' and ''Y'' can also connect with ''[[Pokémon Bank]]'' and an application known as ''Poké Transporter'', which could be used to transfer over Pokémon from ''[[Pokémon: Black and White Versions|Pokémon: Black and White 1]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Black and White Versions 2|2]]''.

As with previous generations, ''X'' and ''Y'' each have Pokémon that are exclusive to each version and can only be obtained through trading with the other version. Each version also features a different legendary Pokémon ([[Xerneas]] for ''X'' and [[Yvetla]] for ''Y'') as part of the story, and has two different unique Mega Evolution Stones available (for [[Charizard]] and [[Mewtwo]] specifically).

=Legacy=

''X'' and ''Y'' have ended up acting as the only generation of ''Pokémon'' that never received any extra versions or direct sequels. The only other games made connected with this generation were ''[[Pokémon: Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]'', which were remakes of the third generation games.

==Sequels==

As mentioned above, it was followed by ''Omega Ruby''/''Alpha Sapphire'', which incorporated gameplay elements from this generation into the third generation games. The next generation would later be ''[[Pokémon: Sun and Moon|Sun and Moon]]''.
