Pokémon X and Y are the sixth generation mainline games for Nintendo 2DS and 3DS. The game takes place in the Kalos region, which draws from European influence (France in particular). Your new adventure starts in the luxurious Vanille Town, where your player character lives with their friends. What new Pokemon will encounter?
Player: New to Pokemon X and Y is the ability to customize your own avatar. The player can change his or her avatar's hair style, skin colour, and clothing (everything from hats to shirts to shoes). Customization items are purchasable throughout Kalos region in various boutiques and clothing stores. The default names are Calem (male) and Serena (female).
Professor Sycamore:
The new Pokémon researcher in the Kalos region. He does not give the player the Kalos starters, but instead those from the Kanto region after completing the first gym. Unlike the previous researchers, Sycamore will battle you at some point during your adventure.
Team Flare:
Not much is known about Team Flare, except that they want to make money and turn the world beautiful. They are led by the villainous Xerosic and his admins, the fabulous Mable, Bryony, Aliana, and Celosia
Your entourage of friends who join you on your adventure.
Shauna: An energetic and curious girl who wishes to become a Pokémon Master.

Trevor: A smart student who is fascinated by the PokéDex and dreams of filling it before his friends.
Pokémon Bank, announced in September's Pokémon Direct, allows players to transfer Pokemon from Pokémon Black, White, Black 2 and White 2 into Pokémon X and Y, via a free 3DS application. However, the software comes with an annual fee.
JP Price: 500 yen per year.

Pokemon Bank FAQ
The all-new Fairy-type is the first type to be introduced since Dark and Steel back in Generation II. Nintendo officially announced Fairy-type in Nintendo's E3 Direct in June 2013. Sylveon, a brand new evolution for Eevee, is one of the new Fairy-type Pokémon, along with re-typed pokemon such as Marill (Water/Fairy), Mawile (Steel/Fairy), Jigglypuff (Normal/Fairy), and Gardevoir (Psychic/Fairy). Fairy-type is Super Effective against Dragon, Dark and Fighting-types, and weak to Poison and Steel-types. It resists Dark, Fighting, and Bug and is the first type to be immune to Dragon-types. Poison, Steel and Fire-types are all resistant to Fairy-type.
A new evolution method introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Mega Evolution works differently than normal evolution, as it occurs during battles. When a Pokémon Mega Evolves, it alters the Pokémon's appearance, stats, and sometimes even type (for example, Mega Ampharos is Electric/Dragon and Mega Charizard X is Fire/Dragon). However, Mega Evolution is temporary and the Pokémon reverts back to its normal form after the battle is finished. Mega Evolution requires the use of both Mega Stones (special hold items which enable a Pokémon to Mega Evolve during battle) a and Mega Ring (a special bracelet worn by trainers that utilizes a Mega Stone's energy in tandem with the bond they share with their Pokémon to activate Mega Evolution).
Steel-type no longer resists Dark and Ghost-type.
Grass-types are immune to "powder" moves such as Poison Powder, Sleep Powder and Spore.
Ghost-types are immune to moves which preventing fleeing such as Mean Look.
Electric-types are immune to paralysis.
