Over one million consumers have pre-ordered Pokemon X/Y in Japan. Famitsu has confirmed that reservations now stand at 1.26 million. As it turns out, this is a record figure for all 3DS games.
Famitsu’s report is based on data provided by Media Create. Note that hardware bundle pre-orders are not included.
Last month it was revealed that fan favourite Charizard can achieve Mega Evolution, an extremely powerful form that only certain Pokémon can access during battles in the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y video games, launching worldwide October 12 for the Nintendo 3DS. It is now known that Charizard can Mega Evolve into either Mega Charizard X or Mega Charizard Y, depending on which Mega Stone it holds—Charizardite X or Charizardite Y. When Charizard Mega Evolves into Mega Charizard X, its body turns black and its flames burn blue with increased heat. It also changes types when it Mega Evolves, changing from a Fire- and Flying-type Pokémon to a Fire- and Dragon-type Pokémon!
The previously revealed Mega Charizard is in fact Mega Charizard Y. Players will need to obtain Charizardite Y in Pokémon Y in order to Mega Evolve Charizard into Mega Charizard Y. Mega Charizard Y’s Special Attack increases significantly, and its Ability changes to Drought, increasing the power of Fire-type moves. Mega Charizard Y can use the Fire-type move Blast Burn, which becomes even more powerful with the effect of the Drought Ability.
Nintendo’s NYCC 2013 lineup – Aonuma hosting a speaking session
Nintendo has announced its lineup for this year’s New York Comic-Con. Playable titles include Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 2, Pokemon X/Y, Zelda: Link Between Worlds, and more.
Nintendo has also confirmed that Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma will be hosting a “speaking session” and other activities. On October 13, attendees can participate in competitive tournaments, artist demonstrations, and giveaways as part of “Kid’s Day”.
You can find the official announcement with more details below.
Charizard will have not one, but two Mega Evolutions.
The Pokemon’s second form was shown for the first time during a broadcast of Pokemon Origins broadcast in Japan. It would seem that the original Mega Evolution will be exclusive to Pokemon Y, while today’s reveal can only be found in Pokemon X.
