A new trailer for Pokémon X and Y has been released today, and with it, more news regarding four new Pokémon, the new region that is Kalos and Lumiose City.
New Pokémon:
- Helioptile, a Normal- and Electric-type, can generate enough electricity through sunbathing to power machinery. But wise Trainers won’t be deterred by Helioptile’s lack of bravery. It knows Parabolic Charge, a brand-new move where Helioptile attacks everything around it. Helioptile’s HP is restored by half the damage taken by those hit.
- Fletchling, a Normal- and Flying-type, sings with a beautiful chirp that is sure to delight any Trainer. Although it is known to be very friendly, Fletchling will suddenly unleash relentless attacks once it’s in battle. For example, when it uses its Fire-type move Flame Charge in battle, in addition to doing damage, Fletchling’s Speed increases every time.
- Pancham, with a leaf always in its mouth and an intimidating glare that is rarely effective, this Fighting-type shows its playful side when it lets out a little smile when its head is pat. Pancham can learn a brand-new move, Parting Shot, which not only lowers an opponent’s Attack and Special Attack, but also allows Pancham to switch out for another Pokémon in a Trainer’s party during battle.
- Gogoat, a new method of transportation, this large Grass-type Pokémon is a reliable way to travel certain parts of Lumiose City. In battle, it can use Horn Leech to recover HP equal to half the damage dealt by this move.
The new region, now known to be called Kalos, is shaped like a star when seen from above and features brand new areas, cities, and Pokémon. Lumiose City, which has been mentioned above a couple of times, is a metropolis that contains a tower set to become an iconic structure in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. In the trailer above, you can see the male trainer take a seat at one of the cities benches and relax for a bit.
The new Pokédex also gets a little design change to it (aside from a new look), as it will now have a feature that allows it to be divided into three different sections within the region.
Pokémon X and Y are set to release this October for the Nintendo 3DS and I’m sure there’s a lot more information waiting to be shared in the coming months.
