The '''sixth generation'''<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?m=201301 Hidden Power of Masuda]</ref> (Japanese: '''{{tt|第６世代|だい６せだい}}''' ''sixth generation'',<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/?m=201301 増田部長のめざめるパワー]</ref> rendered as {{tt|第六世代|だいろくせだい}} among fans) of [[Pokémon]] is the sixth installment of the Pokémon video game series, starting with {{g|X and Y}} in 2013 and concluding with {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} in 2014. This generation saw the debut of 72 new Pokémon species (for a total of 721), as well as the introduction of the [[Kalos]] region and the return of the [[Hoenn]] region. The games of the sixth generation are in full 3D and are presented on the [[Nintendo 3DS]], a first for the [[core series]].

* Generation VI is the only [[generation]] in which:

** Gym Leaders in games that are not [[remake]]s hand out TMs containing moves from older generations.

** It is possible to import Pokémon from previous generations, but is not required in order to complete the National Pokédex (excluding [[Mythical Pokémon]]).

** No [[region]] is featured in more than two games.

* Generation VI is the only generation to not introduce:

** A pure {{type|Ground}} or pure {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

** A [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] with two [[type]]s.

** A new [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four]] member specializing in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.

** A numbered [[water route]].

** A new move for every type that existed during that generation, as no {{type|Dragon}} moves were introduced.

** A Pokémon that evolves by [[Friendship]] after its introduction.
