Several small bits of information have come out from that.In the demo you battle your rival, then go to see Professor Sycamore who tells you about Mega Evolution and gives you a Mewtwo and you battle him. It's unclear if this is just a special battle for the demo or actual gameplay (it would be quite late in the game if so). There is a special Mega Evolution button on the fight screen; when pressed the Pokémon Mega-Evolves and can use a move on the same turn. Graphics have also been improved by having each move slot the same color as the type of move.The Fairy type is confirmed to be not very effective against Fire types, and the Fire type is neutral against Fairy. In the overworld, running the default and the player must hold B to walk.An image appearing to show Sylveon's shiny form has surfaced.

This demo is being shown in English for the first time in Gamescom and now we have footage of the entire demo. While not much is shown that is new, it does showcase the mechanics of the game in English, ending with a special montage.Pokémon X & Pokémon Y - English Demo Footage *21/08/2013Post Merge: [time]1377366343[/time]

Pokemon X Pokemon YSome minor more demo details have come. First, it appears Mega Mewtwo doesn't have an increase in Hit Points. Also, non-Kalos Pokémon such as Skitty and Exeggutor make an appearance in the overworld. Fairy-type moves are also not very effective on Fire-type Pokémon.

Thanks for showing the Mega Versions, Dark Infernape:)

You are welcome sk1999 :)
And you should thank Neon32 too, for posting info on new Moves and Abilities...

In my oppinion pokemon got shit @ black and white.
Annoying seasons, stupid time, too much unneeded crap, stupid pokemons.
But thats just me.Not that this belongs in this forum...

i agree, i think gen 5 was totally crap... Hate almost all the pokemon in that gen... I just hope this doesnt turn out like gen 5....

The only thing I disliked about GEN V was the fact that GameFreak milked the cash cow with Black 2 & White 2. Had they just followed the usual formula wherein they should have released a third tie in game (in this case Pokemon Gray perhaps?), then things wouldn't have been this awful.

Anyone hear the rumor that there might 650 Pokemon living in Kalos? I doubt it, but I can only dream. I won't purchase X or Y until I know the version exclusives.

Had they just followed the usual formula wherein they should have released a third tie in game (in this case Pokemon Gray perhaps?), then things wouldn't have been this awful.

Hahaha what?

Go home Cahos you're drunk.

Gen I - Red & Green (Blue) then Yellow
Gen II - Gold & Silver then Crystal
Gen III - Ruby & Sapphire then Emerald
Gen IV - Diamond & Pearl then Platinum (okay this & Gen II's Crystal should be switched over)
Gen V - Black & White then Black 2 & White 2 WTF?

Ok?Could you explain how releasing a direct sequel, an entirely new game, is milking a cash cow but releasing the same game with a facelift isn't and how the former is worse.

I like it when people feel entitled to complain about something they did not even pay for.

I like Ice cream....

I think it's safe to say that pokemon X/Y will be the GREATEST pokemon game to go down in recent history.Hey Cahos, does Datablitz have the game yet? I think I might buy both versions.
