==Features==
===Changes From Past Game===
*The flight animation has changed with a new feature similar to the Eon Ticket in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. If you fly on certain Pokmon, you will appear to be flying on their back. Other Pokmon will appear as the mysterious blue figure from before. The following Pokmon that you can fly on the backs of are Talonflame,Ho-Oh, Landorus/Tornadus/Thundurus Therian, Charizard, Noivern, Pidgeot, Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres, Lugia, Altaria, Tropius, Salamence, Rayquaza, Togekiss, Swanna, and Braviary.
*The chances of finding a shiny have been decreased to 1/4800; or 1/1600 chance with the shiny charm. With masuda, the chances are split in half to 2800; or 1/933 with shiny charm. Dex nav is 1/2135 with or without shiny charm.
===Voice Acting===
This is the first Pokemon game that has voice acting, but they are just small clips when something noticeable happens. Like "What?!" or "Huh??" or "Yeah..." but you are still required to read the text to understand the story. However, your character remains a mute throughout the entire game.
===Pokemon-Amie===
Pokemon Amie makes yet another return, with new animations, new mini-games, new pokepuffs, and even a feature where you can change the form of your pokemon! (Ex: Mega Gardevoir or Pirouette Meloette)
There is also an option to put certain outfits on your pokemon, including hats, clothes, and much more. In order to get clothes for a certain pokemon, you have to play minigames with them. You cannot share an outfit one pokemon earns with another pokemon.
Horde Encounters - Hordes return to this game as well. There are two types of horde battles: Trainer horde battles and wild horde battles.
===Secret Bases===
Main Article: Pokémon Dusk and Dawn/Secret Bases
Secret Bases return from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, now with more possibilities than the past games. There are over 100 Secret Base locations in the Sutek Region, and requires you to use Secret Power to discover them. 
===Light Type===
One new type has been introduced this generation: The Light Type. Many of the past moves have changed typing, as well as many past pokemon. Light types are strong against fairy, dark, and ghost types, resisted by grass, steel, and rock types. They are also weak to dark and psychic, and resist bug, fairy, ice, and immune to fighting.
===Blinded Status Effect===
A new status effect has been added to the game as well: Blinded. When a Pokemon is blinded, there is a higher chance of their attacks missing, but instead says, "The Pokemon is blinded! It can't see!". The effect has a 20% chance ending first turn. 30% on the next turn, and the chances continue to increase every turn by 10%. So far, only light type attacks get the chance of this status effect happening, and there is no status move that inflicts blindness. The effects of blind is sort of like paralysis, except for this status effect can wear off.
===Trainer Customization===
Main Article: Pokémon Dusk and Dawn/Trainer Customization
Trainer customization makes a return from Pokemon X and Y, as they did not reappear in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, much to everyone's surprise. To make up for it, tons of new hairstyles, clothes, and even Pokmon cosplays have been introduced.
===New Pokeballs===
There are now 4 more types of pokeballs. A legend ball, which makes catching legendaries easier, a weather ball, which makes a Pokmon easier to catch if you are in any kind of weather condition, a starter ball, which makes catching starter pokemon in the wild easier, and finally a shiny ball, which makes catching shiny pokemon easier.
===Free-For-Alls===
In a free-for-all, 4 trainers bring 3 pokemon with them and have a 1v1v1v1 showdown. Each pokemon has the opportunity to attack the other 3. The arena is shaped like a diamond, and that's wear each player is, unlike being side-by-side in past battle formats.
===Gyms===
Just like every main series pokemon game, there are gym leaders. The Sutek gym leaders are Simon (Normal), Hotaru (Bug), Brooke (Steel), Kiyomi (Fairy), Hideki (Fighting), Chris (Psychic), Walter (Ice), and Phoebe (Light)
===Elite 4+Champion===
The Elite for can be battled in any order. Once all 4 are beat, a secret door opens so you can face the champion. The elite 4 members are Elliot (Electric), Yale (Flying), Sakura (Grass), and Madeline (Ghost). The Champion, Lydia, uses a variety of types, along with a shiny Mega Lilligant.
===New Trainer Classes===
There are a few new trainer classes: Fishergirl, Nerd, Daycare Couple (male and female Pokemon Breeders), and Shiny hunter. Fishergirls are mostly like fishermen, Nerds usually have Pokmon that compete best in the Smart category of the Super Contest Spectacular, the Daycare Couple usually have pairs of the same Pokmon that have egg moves, and shiny hunters always have shiny Pokmon.

==Leaks and Information==
*On July 8, 2016, the Pokmon Channel on youtube first revealed the new games. However, only the titles of the games were revealed. It also revealed the season and year the games would be released, which was Spring of 2017.
*On July 10, 2016, CoroCoro leaked the first stages of the three starters Levoni, Flamatos, and Aquasai, along with the two legendaries Kurayami and Hikarious. They also leaked a new eeveelution named Akareon, but did not tell the typing. Many people speculated it to be a new typing. 
*On August 5, 2016, CoroCoro leaked many more things about the game, and even some stuff that wasn't supposed to be announced yet. Starting off, it showed the map of the entire new region named Sutek, which had detailed grasslands, mountains, skies, and oceans. Also, mega evolution was officially stated to return with the leak of Mega Slowking. Finally, pictures of the default male and female characters Cole and Destiny were revealed.
*On September 10, 2016, CoroCoro revealed Mega Delcatty, Raichu, and Lilligant, the return of Pokmon Contest (which is remade as the Pokmon Contest Extravaganza!), the return of Pokmon Amie along with it's new features, and the removal of the old flying animation.
==Easter Eggs/References==
*When facing the Elite Four member Madeline, there is a ghost girl that appears for about 3 or 4 frames, standing behind you when the camera angle changes. The ghost girl's character model appears as a Fairy Tale Girl, but with black hair, black clothing, and empty eyes. 
*Standing outside of the graveyard on Route 11 is a girl preschooler. When talking to her, she mentions that her pichu fainted and never woke up, so her parents took it here. Now, she says she waits every day for it to wake up again. When entering the graveyard afterwards, a pichu can be seen standing in front of a grave, and says this when you speak to it, "P-Pic--i--h-p-u... (I ---t w-n- be wi-- --er a--in...)"
*Inside of a house in Moriyo City, there is a woman and a girl. The woman says that the girl has been crying non-stop, saying that she lost her mother. She also says that everyone in town knows nothing about her. When you talk to the girl, she says she wants her mom and whismur back. The girl has long, black hair, and a worn out cape that was said to be given to her by a very tall man. 
==Trivia==
*This is the second game where the player has both a father and mother, the first being Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions.
**Coincidentally, the player's father in this game is a gym leader, similarly to how the player's father in Ruby/Sapphire was a gym leader as well.
*This is the first game to change the typing of a pre-existing mega evolution.
*Pokémon Dusk and Dawn are compatible with Pokebank, so you can transfer both Pokémon and items from X/Y and ORAS to the game in a future update.
*This is the first game to introduce 3 new eeveelutions, those being Akareon, Chromeon, and Spookeon.
*These are the only set of starters that have a higher female ratio than male ratio.
*It is confirmed that Pokmon Dusk and Dawn take place in a separate dimensions that X/Y and OR/AS, which explains why all the megas from the past games aren't returning.
