## Enhancements

### Graphical Enhancement

Pokémon X and Pokémon Y are the first two Pokémon games that are completely in a 3-dimensional style of gameplay on a handheld system. Everything has been changed since the release of previous Pokémon games. The sprites have been changed into 3D designed models from the characters to the Pokémon. Finding a wild Pokémon has not been changed as seen in the trailer when the male protagonist was running through the grass and encountered a Pikachu.

### System Enhancement

The battle system in video games also went under a 3-dimensional style. As seen in the trailer of the video game there were different Pokémon battles introduced. The attack of a Pokémon will be shown in a 3D style against another Pokémon. It will even show how the Pokémon will move when it's being attacked or vice versa by the opponent.

Shiny Encountering Odds Increased

The odds of encountering a shiny Pokémon in 6th generation were increased from 1/8192 to 1/1000.

### Wonder Trading

Wonder Trading is a new feature in Pokémon X and Y that allows players to trade with a random player over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. When you tap the Yes button, the server picks a random player to link up with your system. This usually takes twenty seconds, but may be longer depending on your connection. Once the systems are linked, you will see the player you are trading with on the lower screen. Then, you will trade the selected Pokémon with the other player's selected Pokémon. This can be used to your advantage, such as Wonder Trading a Magikarp or weak Pokémon, for example. However, the other players may be trading their weak Pokémon, too.

## Features

### Trainer Customization

This is a new feature where the main character can change clothes. The female protagonist has a lot more clothes to choose from, but the male has a good collection of clothes as well. These different clothes can be accessed through clothing shops and the Lumiose City Boutique Couture, which has very expensive clothing. The Lumiose City Boutique Couture can be accessed when the player has enough style points in Lumiose.

### Mega Evolution

This is a new feature where a Pokémon can temporary evolve into a state where they couldn't further evolve. The Pokémon, after battling, will revert to their original form.
