New, exciting details have been leaked about Pokémon X and Y.

Some Pokemon will evolve into Mega forms specific to which version of the game is playing and which items the character is holding.

Nintendo and Game Freak have now introduced Mega Charizard X, the Mega evolution of Charizard in Pokemon X. When Charizard holds Charizardite X, an item specific to Pokemon X, he evolves into this freshly announced form. Mega Charizard X is a Fire/Dragon Pokemon, as opposed to the Fire/Flying type that you’ll find in Pokemon Y.

Pokemon X over Y will both release worldwide on Oct. 12, 2013 for the Nintendo 3DS.

Like previous Pokemon games, the new area of Kalos is based on a real-world country. After the "cool" feel of the New York City-inspired Unova region seen in Black & White, Kalos is inspired by "beautiful" France.

"This time it's more of a soft, kind, beautiful look," game director Junichi Masuda told Digital Spy. "In terms of the visuals, there's definitely that difference. With the Kalos region, we really focused on making this gorgeous region with a focus on aesthetics, give it more of a soft feel, a bit more colourful than previous regions."

According to other online reports, there are also other new features to Pokemon and battles in X and Y -- a new Fairy type has been introduced to counter-act the overpowered Dragon type, flying Pokemon can take part in Sky Battles, and several wild Pokemon can be encountered at once.
