The news about Pokemon X and Y having been announced has got fans from all over the world excited about the games. These titles will be launched by Nintendo only for the 3DS. Although their exact release date details haven’t been disclosed as yet, they have been revealed to be slated for an October 2013 outing. Both will be coming out during this period in North American, European as well as Australian territories. A fresh storyline will be debuting with the games.
Pokemon X and Y were announced yesterday through a Nintendo Direct broadcast by company boss, Satoru Iwata. We’ve posted the video in the space below. Skipping the part till the 7 minute mark will take you directly to the trailer of the two new games. As can be grabbed through the video, players will be able to assume the roles of new trainers, while fresh pocket monsters will be making their way into the titles of course. Although it is highly likely that gamers will be able to choose to play as male or female characters, it hasn’t been confirmed as yet.
The trailer has also gone on to show Pikachu as a wild creature, which means that Pokemon from other generations will also be available for catching. This wasn’t the case with the Black and White versions from the series. New critters which were disclosed through the trailer include Chespin which falls under the grass-type category, Fennekin which is a fire-type creature and Froakie, a water-type pocket monster.
Another aspects that has been somewhat revealed by the video is that the battle camera has been given an overhaul. While previous games had the camera stuck at the back of the critters, various new viewpoints appear to have been infused into these fresh titles, giving the battles a dynamic look. These will be the first games from the series to render themselves in 3D. Even though the last games, Black Version 2 and White Version 2 were compatible with the 3DS, they were built for the DS in originality.
Pokemon X and Y are all set to launch in October this year. We’ll have more on these games when additional details are out.
