Pokemon takes a bold step into three dimensions with Pokemon X and Y, two brand new adventures for the Nintendo 3DS.
The games mark Pokemon’s first foray into full 3D gameplay. Details are still unfolding, but the trailer hints at expansive journeys, varied landscapes to explore, a stirring musical score, and a brand-new generation of Pokemon to collect. The starter trio shown includes Fennekin, Froakie, and Chespin, each representing fire, water, and grass types respectively, offering diverse play styles from the start. As fans expect, familiar faces like Pikachu appear in the new lineup, providing a clear link to the broader Pokemon universe while signaling new stories to tell in a fresh 3D world.
The games will launch later this year with a worldwide, simultaneous release, a first for the series. For the first time, players across continents can embark on their 3D adventures at the same time, sharing discoveries and comparing notes as they explore the new region together. The promise of a vivid 3D world, alongside new secrets to uncover, invites the community to team up and discover with others as they progress through the game.
A trailer is shown below. Fans may feel the thrill of these two entries, and readers are invited to share whether they plan to pick up the titles when they arrive, in the comments.
