The development team at GameFreak and publisher Nintendo are ready to offer more information on Pokemon X & Y, which is set to launch on the Nintendo 3DS, including the names of four new creatures that players will be able to catch and control.

Gemtasu cites details coming from CoroCoro saying that the new Pokemon are:

- Yancham – described as mischievous, a combat-focused creature with a move called Parting Remark; - Yayakoma – a Ryukyu Robin normal and flying Pokemon with the ability to use Flame Charge; - Elicitel – a creature based on electricity which deploys a technique called Parabola Charge, healing himself while attacking nearby enemies; - Gogoat – a ride grass Pokemon equipped with the Horn Leech ability.

Pokemon X & Y will be based in the Karos region and the main adventure hub will be called Miare City.

The game will arrive in October.
