More Pokemon X and Y details revealed
During a Nintendo Direct broadcasted today, the Big N has revealed more information regarding Pokemon X and Pokemon Y.
In the past, Pokemon trainers have not been able to store as much Pokemon as they would’ve liked to, but with the newly revealed Pokemon Bank, players will be able to store 3,000 Pokemon with in 100 total boxes via internet with an annual fee, as it will also be used for future Pokemon titles.
Players who own either Pokemon Black, Pokemon White, Pokemon Black 2 or Pokemon White 2 will also be able to store their Pokemon in the Bank with Poke Transporter by placing the games in a 3DS, and transferring them to the Bank. From there, players can put their Pokemon from the past two games into Pokemon X and Pokemon Y.
Players will still have access to the in-game Pokemon storage, and will also be able to store Pokemon from multiple X and Y games.
The Pokemon Bank will be available in Nintendo’s eShop in North America sometime in the future.
Other details regarding Pokemon’s Mega Evolutions were revealed as well.
In the past, players have always started out by receiving one of three starter Pokemon from the local Pokemon Professor, but this time, the X and Y starters will be given to you by a character’s friend in the game. In a surprise reveal, later on in the game, the Professor will still give you Pokemon, but you will be able to choose between the original Pokemon starters Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle.
As a result of this reveal, it was announced that Venasaur, Charizard and Blastoise will have Mega Evolutions, making them stronger in battles.
To activate Mega Evolutions, however, players will need the Mega Stone alongside the newly announced Mega Ring, which is what the Pokemon Trainer will wear akin to a wrist band.
Last, but certainly not least, X and Y has a worldwide release date of Oct. 12, 2013. The games will be available all over the world in seven languages.
Be sure to check out the revealed Pokemon X and Pokemon Y 3DS XL’s as well.
