Disclaimer: the article may not be 100 percent accurate due to the game is not released yet, due to be released in October 2013.
(this is just a brief review of the new features there will be a more in depth review when the game is released)
Okay, today this article is about X and Y as you can tell... Ive sorta already done a article on this, but mainly that was Pokemon philosophy and the past games not strictly X and Y.
Ive been doing some research on this game and to be honest at first I was skeptical and thought the geeks back in the Pokemon headquarters had gone tits up, but then I realised I might as well embrasure it because no matter how much I moan there not going to change the new style of Pokemon gaming.. so i kept and open eye and now i think its going to be pretty good, well I bloody well hope so anyway.
The Starters.

To be honest the Fire Type looks suckish all the through to its last evolution, The Grass type looks pretty good all the way.. And the Water type looks bad ass in its last evolution. This all sounds good.. well goodish anyway, but every single Pokemon starter has always looked cool from the offset and it annoys me how these guys don't.
But hey ho you don't even need to use a starter
you could just store it in your Pokemon PC or what ever you call them, but I think it would just be rude not to use the starter Pokemon for the FIRST time as the designers work there butts off to design the little fellas.
The Main Legendarys. (at the top)
The X and Y shaped legendarys look cool as hell in this, especially the Y shaped one called Yveltal looks like some fire ghost ninja bird on some serious Roids, the other X shaped Legendary is called Xerneas and its a big ass antelope with big pointy horns, which is always good! I would talk some more about these guys but unfortunately Pokemon have kept it pretty tight and there isn't a lot about them at the moment
... BUT DON'T WORRY Ive been researching and I nearly sh*t myself when I found out not only the type of these new Legendary, that the type is SOUND and LIGHT I know right how cool! but lets just be realistic how are these new types going to work? I mean unlike Water or Steel etc etc there is no physical property to either type. Well you could argue about light.. well because light does have physical properties but that's not the point, you don't go around fighting crime with a flash torch shouting "behold my mighty rays of light" Its just not gonna happen. Were just going to have to wait and see what Pokemon has done with these elements.
Horde Mode.
This is a new battle style which I believe to be completely random and can happen anytime when entering grassy areas, To be honest this wasn't a bad idea atall and has made the game more realistic, instead of the old one Pokemon at a time approach. But in some respects this will cause havoc for most players that hate long battles and like to one shot hyper beam everything in there path in horde mode it would take 8 turns because as we all know after hyper beam you have to recharge. But even the most experienced and seasons Pokemon trainer liker me like me may hate this new style of battle, just imagine running into 4 Emogla's personally id cry as I hate Emogla, I think it is the cancer of Pokemon.. The annoying b***ard .
Sky battles.
Another new type of battle which only flying Pokemon can compete in unless it is a ghost type or can levitate, basically what ever Pokemon can fly! I think this is pretty neat and has no negative impacts on the game, just a cooler battle experience.
But what if non of your Pokemon can fly you say? Trainers who
would have challenged you to a sky battle won't even bother with you (or
will tell you to come back when you have the appropriate Pokemon with
you). So don't go throwing your Graveler out into a sky battle or any other fat Pokemon.. It can only end badly.
The Worlds best conclusion.
So these are the new things in X and Y, the good, the bad and the utter bollocks. except from the new style of graphics and game play which you've all seen, if you haven't the link will be below. Any way, you all better get saving up for a 3DS because your going to need it!
