Pokemon X & Y Release Date, New Type Revealed

During their E3 Nintendo Direct presentation this morning, Nintendo revealed a new trailer for Pokemon X and Y. In addition to showcasing the newly announced Kalos region, a handful of new Pokemon have also been revealed.

More importantly, however, is the introduction of a completely new Pokemon type. Keep in mind, that there haven’t been any new types since Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal.

So without further ado, I give you, the Fairy type Pokemon!

We now also know that Eevee’s new evolution, Sylveon, will be a pure fairy type. Other Pokemon receiving the Fairy treatment include Jigglypuff, Marill and Gardevoir, with plenty more to be announced.

Fairy types will make their (grand?) debut with the worldwide release of Pokemon X & Y on October 12th, 2013.
