Polygon has put up a huge report on Pokemon X/Y, which covers gameplay between the beginning up to the first gym. You can find a summary of details below – including comments from Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda. Alternatively, you can find Polygon’s full piece here.

– Start off by choosing your gender
– Customize how your character looks next
– Begin the adventure by meeting with 4 neighborhood kids who are also setting out to do the same
– Scene is shown over coffee in a little Parisian-style cafe
– Given your starter Pokemon and Pokedex here from one of these friends
– They explain what X and Y’s professor expects from them
– Need to travel the world and fill up the Pokedex with information on new Pokemon
– Formula of going to the professor, picking a Pokemon, traveling alone and occasionally battling against one main rival was changed in order to heighten focus on the games’ key theme of bonds
– Bonds are between Pokemon and their trainers as well as between trainers and their new in-game friends
– Friends will travel with you as you move through Kalos

“This time we really wanted to make it a journey about you and your friends. When you first meet the kids at the beginning of the game, you don’t actually know them, so you’re meeting them for the first time. But one of the central themes of Pokemon X and Y are bonds — the bonds between people, and the bonds between people and Pokemon, for example. When focusing on this theme, we wanted to make [the game] a journey about meeting these friends and then getting to know them over the course of the adventure.”


In addition to North America, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has been discounted in Europe. The Wii U and 3DS versions are both on sale for 50% off. The promotion period lasts for four days only.

Nintendo will be introducing Pokemon Bank later this year, a cloud-based online storage center for the creatures captured in Pokemon X/Y.

As we’ve spoken about previously, this is a paid service. While a special offer gives players a month for free, they’ll need to fork over an annual fee once this period expires.

Thankfully, if you do happen to use the service and your subscription runs out, your Pokemon won’t go anywhere. You’ll just need to pay for the service again in order to access the Pokemon stored in Pokemon Bank.
