Pokémon X/Y videos

Pikachu announces a new generation of Pokémon. The player is seen looking in a mirror, then navigating a few different routes. We see a metropolis (Lumiose City) with a large tower, then a stately home and a barren desert.

The new starters are revealed and shown in battle. After a few other locations we see the legendary Pokémon Yveltal flying in the sky, then Xerneas patrolling the forest.

This short video reveals a new Pokémon, Sylveon. Its ribbons flap in the breeze and it uses a variety of moves in battle.

A new Pokémon is shown that looks strikingly similar to the legendary Mewtwo. It's shown using several moves in battle.

This first gameplay trailer starts with the player riding a Gogoat around Lumiose City. A few shots show the varying camera angles as the player runs around the city. Next up, some battle scenes with the starter Pokémon, then the player is shown sitting down on a bench in a town square with a Roselia statue. More battle scenes follow with newly-revealed Pokémon Fletchling, Heloptile, Gogoat and Pancham.
