The E3 Nintendo Direct has confirmed that Fairy Type is now a real type! It is Super Effective against Dragon Type Pokémon, but other type effectiveness has yet to be confirmed. A new Fairy Type attack was also released; Moonblast damages foes and can also lower Sp Atk. Some Fairy Type Pokémon:
- Sylveon
- Marill (Water/Fairy)
- Gardevoir (Psychic/Fairy)
- Jigglypuff (Normal/Fairy)
Two new Pokémon were also revealed! Vivillon is a new Bug/Flying Pokémon and is able to learn the move Struggle Bug. Vivillon is said to evolve from a Pokémon called Spewpa. The other new Pokémon is Noivern which is Flying/Dragon and learns a new move known as Boomburst.
A few other tidbits were also revealed:
- Games launch worldwide on October 12th
- Male protagonist is named Xavier
- New “Pokémon-Amie” feature brings some pet simulation elements to X & Y
- Another new Fairy Type move has been shown, being used by Gardevoir. It is known as Fairy Wind.
[UPD 1]: PokéBeach has captured some photographs from another trailer at E3, the trailer shows three new Pokémon and a new female character. One screenshot also seems to confirm that Sky Battles are in the game. No further details are known but we will be covering the session later this evening LIVE. The images are below.
[UPD2]: Bulbagarden has posted an image showing how Sky Battles will look in X&Y. Find it below!
We will to continue to update this post!
That blue and orange Crustacean Pokemon is so gonna be on my team! Blue and Orange are the primary colors of my favorite sports team, the New York Mets! 😀
Noivern? Really GameFreak? You choose to only introduce a Fairy type and make Noivern.
@ europe guy
why the dots? The text says “Do you want to have a sky battle against me?” That beside I’m wondering why there is a German phrase in an E3 Trailer, which is located in the USA, furthermore English is understood by most of the international crowd. Maybe they want to show-off with the already advanced worldwide localisation of the games.
I was also thinking the same thing. More of a case of act now ask questions later here though, I think.
Have you ever thought about that she might actually be german in game?
WOWWW you guys are some hypocrites. You guys constanly talk crap about pokebeach, BUT. You guys go over to his site and STEAL the images he orginally got? Hypocrites
*constanly talk crap about pokebeach and claim you don’t like him
How is it stealing when they give credit to Pokebeach for the pics?
and how are they talking carp about pokebeach
… and how are they talking MAGIKARP about pokebeach. hahaha (i know. bad pun.)
Sorry, where have we spoken crap about PokéBeach? As far as I’m aware we show respect for other fan sites.
As others have said we have not stolen anything. There’s a direct link to WPM’s site, and the first sentence CLEARLY states they’re from PokéBeach. All images have also been posted with their watermarks in place.
>implying those images are his property and his own only
The copyright law only counts for ‘works of art’. taking an image is not a ‘work of art’.
when is the live E3 stream happening? its 4:47pm where i live (in the state of PA in USA), I hope I didn’t miss it.
I’m going crazy off all this news though.
They should’ve showed that Clefairy gets reclassified, I mean its only obvious lol.
But besides that i’m so speechless. 5 new pokemon revealed so far, And Gardevoir whom I just added to my team now fairy? sickness.
If you mean the Nintendo Direct it was a few hours ago. The Pokémon Q&A is in four hours, but there’s no stream for that.
This will be me playing Pokémon-amie in the game…

The little blue crustacean is a Fiddler crab!!! I love it!!!
A Fiddler crab?? I’m naming mine Tevye.
Totally naming my Noivern ‘Drogon’.
I shall call him Drogon and he shall be mine, he shall be my Drogon <3
i am going to get a Vivillon and name it Chouno
Or pistol shrimp.
http://media.wnyc.org/media/photologue/photos/pistol_shrimp_claw%20article.jpg
I don’t know why I jumped to that Fiddler Crab conclusion, but now it definitely looks like a Pistol Shrimp with that one huge claw. Pistol Shrimp make a loud cracking sound with their large claw, so maybe this little guy will have a lot of sound-based attacks?
something i noticed about fairy type – it has normal effectiveness on dark. gardevoir used fairy wind on hydreigon which is dark/dragon
How is a WATER MOUSE and a pink blob with big eyes a fairy? I thought fairies were small mythical creatures with wings that possess magic powers?
Think about Altaria and how it can be a dragon type.
Then think about how it would suck to have all fairy type pokemon to be small mythical creatures with wings that possess magic powers.
There are a lot more meanings to the word ‘fairy’ than the Disney-style fairies that everybody knows. I can definitely see Jiggs as a Fairy type.
Does this mean Simisear will now be Fairy..?
im a little late to the party with this reply, and I apologize. But everyone says “Disney style fairies”, considering Tinkerbell. Let us not forget that for all intents and purposes Maleficent is ALSO a Disney fairy.
Wicked excited for X and Y. X3
Is it me, or do the Pokemon cries seem really authentic this time around? Same with the designs. I love them all so far!
Now all we need is Sound type and everything is perfect!
i wish there was, since there was a pokemon with speakers for ears, and a new attack for those oversized ears. but then, who would be retyped and what would it be stronger to??
I actually was shocked when they revealed new Pokémon, have they done that before?
I actually like Noivern and actually thought it was an Eco of Swoobat, Vivilion’s eyes are just the cutest
I do like Garevoir bein part Fairy cause if there are RS remakes, it’s defo going on my team to help me against a Drake
(Are we assuming that this Pokémon-Amie is how we get Sylveon? Or is that just me)
My best guess, probably moonstone.
All we need now are Sound types and everything will be perfect!!
When is the presentation of X/Y starting?
It will start at 6:00 PM (PST)! Just find your time zone and then you will figure out what time you will see it!
More than anything im now just happy that the divide in ” is fairy real or fake ” between everyone is over. To be honest im glad a new types introduced and all the confusion, hype and speculation the last few months have made it even better 🙂
I’m so very happy right now.
I’m really looking forward for every Pokemon in the sixth Gen. From the ones we’ve seen they’re all incredible so I’m hoping for the same, aswell as the Legendaries and Starter Evos 😀
Aside from the Q&A, there’s also a presentation too right?
I don’t think so 🙁 I seriously wish there is tho 🙂 fingers crossed & O.O &
You really think there going to host a Q&A session for 90 minutes?
Doubtful, but what do you mean by presentation ? if you mean by demo’s etc I wouldn’t count on it.
It was said there would be a presentation as well as a Q&A session lasting 90 minutes. As for demos, the round table is that area shown in the direct video with all the 3DS’s so I can assure there will be demo’s to try. Don’t forget that second trailer.
Edit: A downvote, seriously?
That’s true. lets hope there is a full presentation. Showing some more gameplay, aswell as revealing more information 😀
We’re still really unsure of what exactly is going on. We’re going by what was initially said, there will be a presentation of some kind for the press (not streamed for us) followed by a Q&A that will be live tweeted, and covered by other gaming sites.
Doesn’t it say that you’ll be covering something Live?
We’ll be covering the Q&A live (and presentation if we get information on it), but with text updates.
you know pokemon-amie is one letter short from being aimer which is french for love so that means it is pokemon-love
Aime in french means Friend in Friend.
It means friend 🙂 amie = friend , en francais 😛
Already translated man.
Mon Amie – My friend
Aimer is actually to love. Amour is love 🙂
If the Male Protagonist is Xavier, let the Girl’s name be Yvette!!!
Apparently, the girls name is Yvonne.
i have the gut feeling that Vivillon’s first stage is going to be made out to be uglier than they made feebas out to be
That seahorse squid pokemon reminds me of an Octorok :3
I think the sea horse/poison pokemon is Inkay.
Chances are that it’s Skrelp, a Poison/Water type.
my guess was right, the male protagonists name is Xavier, and for the female, i think its Yolanda ??
Ok. Found a name I hate this generation: Talonflame!
It’s hooooorrible~♪ I haaaaaate it~♪
Whoever came up with that name and whoever decided it was OK to use it officially… I have one request for you…
Go jump in the middle of a Muk horde!
>:U
Pokémon X & Y trailer 3 – It was, apparently, not meant to be shown yet as it was accidentally leaked. Thanks for the mistake! (ºwº)b
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si7oFO5y1e8
Basically they showed it a few hours ahead of when they were intending to. It doesn’t make too much of a difference :3
