14 DAY TRIAL // Pokemon X and Pokemon Y have received a brand new gameplay video, and also a variety of details about four new creatures that are added to the game, some of which capable of pulling off never-before-seen moves in combat.
Pokemon X and Pokemon Y are the first experiences in the long-running franchise that will appear on the Nintendo 3DS, so the Japanese company wants to add all sorts of new things, and also different creatures.
After hearing quite a few details and even some leaks, Nintendo has just posted a bunch of official info about the new region featured in the games, Kalos, and its main city, Lumiose.
Besides exploring the new region and city, players will be able to meet four all-new creatures, in the form of Helioptile, Fletchling, Pancham, or Gogoat.
Check out the details about the new Pokemon and the fresh moves they can perform in battle below, via an official statement.
- The cowardly Pokémon Helioptile, a Normal- and Electric-type Pokémon, 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 Pokémon, 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.
- With a leaf always in its mouth and an intimidating glare that is rarely effective, Fighting-type Pokémon Pancham 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.
- Pokémon X and Pokémon Y introduce a new method of transportation—riding the brand-new Pokémon, Gogoat. 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.
Plenty of new details about Pokemon X and Pokemon Y will be revealed as we get closer to their October release for the 3DS.
Until then, check out the new gameplay video below.
