== Features returning from X/Y ==
=== 3D Gameplay ===
Pokémon XZ and Pokémon YZ feature a three-dimensional style of gameplay, just like X and Y. Battles are completely tri-dimensional and much more dynamic, featuring different camera angles and animations. The overworld is completely tri-dimensional as well. Thanks to the roller skates, it is possible to move without the limitations of a grid, taking the best out of the 3D environment.
=== Player Search System ===
The Player Search System (PSS) is a multiplayer feature available on every main Pokémon game from Generation VI. It allows people to connect, battle, and trade with other players through the Internet, globally or locally. The PSS can be used at any point of the game after the player obtains the Pokédex.
=== Battle features ===
Pokémon XZ and Pokémon YZ keep all of the new types of battle X and Y introduced, such has Sky Battles, in which only Pokémon that are able to fly (or levitate) can participate, Horde Encounters, which are wild Pokémon battles against up to 5 Pokémon, and Inverse Battles, in which all type advantages and disadvantages are inverted. The Fairy type and Mega Evolution, introduced in X and Y, return as well. 
=== Pokémon-Amie and Super Training ===
Two main features are available in all Generation VI games; Pokémon-Amie and Super Training, which allow the player to develop stronger bonds with their Pokémon and increase their EVs, respectively.
=== Trainer Customization ===
The player is able to change their appearance in-game, allowing them to customize their characters by changing their haircut, eye color, hair color and clothing. Pokémon XZ and YZ added new clothing and haircuts to the game, including clothing and haircuts based on Team Flare and the Elite Four.
== New Features ==
=== Cell Collecting ===
Replacing the Dowsing Machine, the Cell Locator is available, as well as the Z Journal, which are two key items that allow the player to collect Zygarde cells and register their research on Zygarde, respectively. There are 100 cells hidden all over the Kalos region, which are all visible in the overworld. However, they blend in the scenery quite easily, and so, the Cell Locator helps the player finding them, in a similar way to how the Dowsing Machine works. Each cell has taken hostage a wild Pokémon and so, upon finding the cell, a wild Pokémon must be either defeated or captured.
=== Zygarde Forms ===
Pokémon XZ and Pokémon YZ introduce 3 new different forms of the Legendary Pokémon Zygarde; 10% Form, 90% Form and Complete Form. Zygarde can take any of those forms if rearranged on Professor Sycamore's Lab, if the requirements are met. Some of those forms are taken by the Legendary Pokémon over the course of the story as well. Zygarde cannot be traded (nor released) and so it is not possible to have more than one Zygarde form active at the same time in the game.
=== Rhyhorn Racing ===
There are 5 Rhyhorn Racing Tracks in the Kalos region which can be raced on. Rhyhorn Races consist on riding a Rhyhorn through light gates to increase the Rhyhorn's speed and complete a set number of laps before the timer ends. The Rhyhorn moves similary to the bicycle and roller skates, and can quickly dash foward, destroying objects in front of it, and also quickly turn to any direction at the cost of some speed. Each track has 2 versions, one easier than the other, with the second usually having much more hazards than the first. BP is rewarded for beating certain scores.
=== Pokéball Changing ===
Pokémon can have their Pokéball changed for a different one in exchange for the Pokémon's original Pokéball. Pokémon who are in Master Balls, Cherish Balls or in the new Core Ball cannot change their Pokéball, and other Pokémon cannot change their Pokéballs for Master Balls, Cherish Balls or for the Core Ball. Additionally, more types of Pokéballs return from past games, such has Heavy Balls, Fast Balls, Level Balls, Lure Balls, Love Balls, Friend Balls, Moon Balls and the new Sun Balls.
== Plot ==
The game begins with the protagonist being awakened by their best friend Shauna in Vaniville City, a larger version of Vaniville Town. She scolds the protagonist for falling asleep and leads the protagonist to their house, meeting Trevor and Tierno along the way, who also live in Vaniville City. To their surprise, once they arrive at the protagonist's house, they find Calem/Serena, who has recently moved to Vaniville City. Calem/Serena comes with a message from Professor Augustine Sycamore, who would like to meet the protagonist and their friends in the nearest town, as he is in search of young spirits who could aid him on his research in Pokémon evolution. They all agree and set up a bus trip to Aquacorde Town, where the professor is waiting.
The fiver kids arrive at Aquacorde Town just in time to meet up with professor Sycamore, who tells them the reasons he was so interested in meeting the group: Shauna's popularity in Vaniville City, Trevor's excellent perfect grades in Vaniville's school, Tierno's interest in Pokémon moves, Calem/Serena's legendary trainer parents and the protagonist's 'hidden potential', to which he admits he's not completely sure of what said 'potential' is. The professor gives each kid their own starter Pokémon and a Pokédex, and challenges them to come to Lumiouse City with alongside their Pokémon, where he would reveal the details about his research. Ownever, before starting their adventure, the kids must obtain their parents' permission. After the protagonist and Shauna have their first battle, they decide to return to Vaniville City in order to obtain the permissions and start their adventure. However, since that the bus that would take them back to Vaniville City already departed, they must go back on foot through Route 1. While they travel through the route, they find a mysterious green squishy being to which Shauna assumes that is a brand new kind of Pokémon. Together, and carrying their new squishy friend, they obtain their parent's permission, a town map, Holocaster and start their adventure.
