For the first time in the main series, the games are in full 3D and were released worldwide in October 12, 2013 for the Nintendo 3DS.

Kalos, the region introduced in this generation, continues the trend of being based in a real-life world location outside of Japan, started by Generation V. This time, the region is based in France.

The Generation VI games will be able to communicate with the four Generation V games, as well as the five Generation IV games when the storage-based online application Pokémon Bank is launched to the public starting from December 25, 2013 in Japan.

X and Y occur in an undisclosed amount of time after any game. The Looker, who has made an apparition in Generation IV and Generation V games, is found in Kalos.
