On January 8, 2013, Nintendo simultaneously announced to the world that a new generation of Pokémon will be coming to the world through a special edition of [[Nintendo Direct]], called ''Pokémon Direct''. {{g|X and Y}}, the first games in [[Generation VI]], were revealed and were released worldwide on October 12, 2013. These two games introduced several new Pokémon, and the Pokémon series took a new leap into the 3D world on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. The concept of [[Mega Evolution]] was also introduced. During the unveiling of the new versions, three new [[Starter Pokémon]] were introduced: Grass Type {{p|Chespin}}, Fire Type {{p|Fennekin}} and Water Type {{p|Froakie}}. The games take place in a new region called [[Kalos]], based off of real-world France. These games hearkened back to Generation I in several ways, by including many older Pokémon from different regions alongside a small amount of new ones, making older Pokémon stronger through Mega Evolution and introducing {{t|Fairy|a brand-new type}} for the first time in over a decade. | On January 8, 2013, Nintendo simultaneously announced to the world that a new generation of Pokémon will be coming to the world through a special edition of [[Nintendo Direct]], called ''Pokémon Direct''. {{g|X and Y}}, the first games in [[Generation VI]], were revealed and were released worldwide on October 12, 2013.
