The '''sixth generation''' of Pokémon, is the sixth installment of the Pokémon series. Like previous generations, the first installments, [[Pokémon X and Y]], will be released as a pair. For the first time, the games will be in full 3D, and are expected to be released on the same date in all regions.
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]], commonly referred to by fans as '''Generation VI''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|世代|いちせだい}}ＶＩ}}''' ''Generation VI''), 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]].


The new region appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|Europe}}.
==History==
The sixth generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of {{g|X and Y}} on January 8, 2013. These games were released internationally in October of the same year; the [[Pokémon the Series: XY|tie-in anime series]] began airing one week later. Pokémon X and Y continued the established tradition of two paired games with slight variations between the two versions. Between them, these games introduced 72 new Pokémon species, 57 new moves, and 26 new Abilities. New gameplay advances were added, including a new battle mechanic called [[Mega Evolution]]. Among other changes, the games' {{DL|Type|type chart}} was modified for the first time since [[Generation II]], some twelve years earlier: {{t|Ghost}}- and {{type|Dark}} moves now have normal effectiveness against {{type|Steel}}s and a new {{t|Fairy}} type has been introduced.


The second pairing of games in Generation VI was announced on May 7, 2014. {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, which are [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III|third-generation]] {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, were released worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS in November 2014.
The Generation VI games are not isolated from previous iterations and can communicate with the [[Generation V|fifth-generation]] games {{4v|Black|White|2}} through an online application known as [[Pokémon Bank]]. This feature, which is available for download from the Nintendo eShop, acts primarily as online storage for Pokémon species. It was first launched in Japan on December 25, 2013, although unexpectedly high demand forced it to close and relaunch the following January. International markets received the Pokémon Bank in February 2014. An extension of the Pokémon Bank called the [[Poké Transporter]] allows players to send Pokémon from their fifth-generation games to their X and Y cartridges via the cloud. Combining the Poké Transporter with the earlier [[Pal Park]] (from {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}) and [[Poké Transfer]] (from Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2) allows players to transfer Pokémon from {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}} to their sixth-generation games.
==In-game continuity==
X and Y occur two years after {{v2|Black and White|s}}, thus being contemporaneous with {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. [[Looker]], who has made appearances in the [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]] games, is found in Kalos.
{{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} take place at least some years before Black and White and X and Y, as the [[Royal Unova]] is stated to be currently under construction and scheduled to be complete in an unspecified number of years and [[Mr. Bonding]] is born. Further, if they are contemporaneous with the events of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} it follows that they are also contemporaneous with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
However, the overall continuity between the sixth generation games and those that precede them is not especially clear. In-game dialogue in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} suggests that the sixth generation games might take place in an {{pkmn|multiverse|alternate universe}} parallel to the universe in which the earlier games are contained. During the [[Delta Episode]] at [[Mossdeep Space Center]], [[Zinnia]] hints that there might be another version of Hoenn that has not discovered [[Mega Evolution]]:
:''"My people know it. From generation to generation, we pass along the lore about the distortions in the world borne by the Mega Evolution mechanism. And about the existence of another world, which we have long observed to be just like this one and yet not the same... That's right. A Hoenn region that's almost exactly like this one we live in. Filled with Pokémon and people like us. A world where maybe the evolution of Pokémon took a slightly different path, where Mega Evolution is unknown... A world where that war 3,000 years ago...never happened. A world where the [[ultimate weapon]] was never even built. And in that Hoenn of that world... What would happen if one day, out of the blue, a meteoroid appeared? What would happen to the people of that world, without the technology to destroy the meteoroid or the power to warp it away? ... Looks like it's beyond the power of your imagination."''
Zinnia's comments describe the world of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. The possibility of alternate universes gives some ambiguity to any perceived inter-generational continuity between the first five generations and the sixth; it is worth noting that the existence of alternate [[dimension]]s in the [[Pokémon universe]] has been explored in previous games, notably the [[Distortion World]] of {{game|Platinum}}, as well as in the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{spin-off games}}. [[Generation VII]] later confirms the existence of alternate universes with the introduction of [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, wormholes which allow for interdimensional travel, and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}'s [[Episode RR]].


==Advances in gameplay==
==Advances in gameplay==
The advancements introduced in Generation VI include:

===Kalos===
[[File:Kalos XY.png|thumb|250px|Kalos]]
{{main|Kalos}}
The [[Kalos]] region was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}. This region is geographically isolated and has no close ties with any other region introduced prior to Generation VI.
====First partner Pokémon====
The [[first partner Pokémon]] of the sixth Generation follow the traditional {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}} trio setup. At the beginning of the game, the player must choose between the Grass-type {{p|Chespin}}, the Fire-type {{p|Fennekin}} and the Water-type {{p|Froakie}}.

===Hoenn===
[[File:Hoenn ORAS.png|thumb|250px|Hoenn]]
{{main|Hoenn}}
[[Hoenn]] was featured in Generation VI in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a pair of [[remake]]s of the [[Generation III]] games {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}.
====First partner Pokémon====
As in other remakes, the [[first partner Pokémon]] of Hoenn remain the same as they did in Generation III. [[Professor Birch]] gives {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, or {{p|Mudkip}} to the player as thanks for using it to save him from a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Poochyena}}.

====Starter Pokémon====
The starters of the sixth Generation, like the starters of the previous five generations, follow the Grass-Fire-Water trio, with {{p|Chespin}} the {{t|Grass}} type, {{p|Fennekin}} the {{t|Fire}} type, and {{p|Froakie}} the {{t|Water}} type.

==Kalos thematic motif==
The sixth generation focuses on the concept of beauty and different aspects related to it, such as balance and harmony. [[Trainer customization|Fashion]] and different forms of art are featured considerably in the newly introduced region, whose name comes from the Greek word for beauty.<ref name = NLinterview>[https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/09/interview_junichi_masuda_and_hironobu_yoshida_discuss_pokemon_x_and_y_mega_evolutions_and_the_2ds Interview: Junichi Masuda and Hironobu Yoshida Discuss Pokémon X and Y, Mega Evolutions and the 2DS | Nintendo Life]</ref> {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, the [[game mascot]]s for {{g|X and Y}}, reflect the concepts of harmony and balance, being the "Life" and "Destruction" Pokémon, respectively. [[Team Flare]]'s actions and motives also reflect the beauty theme, as they strive to create "a beautiful world" by any means necessary. X and Y are named for the respective axes and are used to represent different mentalities as well as the ways in which people can find common ground.<ref name = NLinterview/>
==Reception==
Generation VI advanced competitive play by introducing [[Mega Evolution]], making already powerful Pokémon such as {{p|Rayquaza}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} stronger, and giving unviable Pokémon such as {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mawile}} a use in the metagame. The addition of the Fairy-type nerfed several previously prominent Pokémon like {{p|Hydreigon}} and {{p|Scrafty}}, and allowed others such as {{p|Clefable}} and {{p|Azumarill}} to rise in prominence.
Generation VI was largely well-received for hearkening back to [[Generation I]], and making older Pokémon popular again. However, as time went on, Generation VI became more controversial in certain parts of the fandom, with the lower difficulty and the lack of a {{DL|Core series|release model|third version}} to the X and Y games being prominent criticisms.

{{bulbanews|No new Mega Evolution patch for X or Y players}}
* This is the first generation:
** To introduce new moves between games. Of the 62 moves introduced, four of them were introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} and are not present in {{g|X and Y}}. As a result, Pokémon in the former that know these moves cannot be traded to the latter.
** Not to introduce a [[Mythical Pokémon]] whose base stats are all 100.
** To introduce Pokémon with {{t|Normal}} as its secondary [[type]].
** To introduce dual-type Pokémon with {{t|Flying}} as its primary type.
** Where each pair of games released on the same date worldwide.
** That {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Blue}}, the [[Kanto]] Gym Leaders, and [[Lance]] do not appear in.
*** [[Cynthia]] also does not appear, making this the first generation since her debut that she does not appear in.
** Where the player could not rename the [[rival]] in all core series games.
** Since [[Generation IV]] to introduce more than one cat-like [[evolution|evolutionary line]]; however, unlike {{p|Glameow}} and {{p|Purugly}}, {{p|Litleo}} and {{p|Pyroar}}, and {{p|Espurr}} and {{p|Meowstic}}, {{p|Shinx}}, {{p|Luxio}}, and {{p|Luxray}} were only part of a three-stage line. All other generations with the exception of [[Generation II]] introduced only one:
*** [[Generation I]] introduced {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Persian}}.
*** [[Generation III]] introduced {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Delcatty}}.
*** [[Generation V]] introduced {{p|Purrloin}} and {{p|Liepard}}.
*** [[Generation VII]] introduced {{p|Litten}}, {{p|Torracat}}, and {{p|Incineroar}}.
*** While [[Generation VIII]] didn't introduce a full new evolutionary line, [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Galarian]] {{p|Meowth}} evolves into a new species, {{p|Perrserker}}.
*** [[Generation IX]] introduced {{p|Sprigatito}}, {{p|Floragato}}, and {{p|Meowscarada}}.
** To introduce {{t|Fighting}}/Flying Pokémon, marking the last type to be paired with Flying.

** The [[nickname]] character limit increased from 5 to 6 in Japanese and Korean, and from 10 to 12 in Western languages.
** The {{player}} name character limit increased from 5 to 6 in Japanese and Korean, and from 7 to 12 in Western languages.
** The names of all [[move]]s, [[item]]s and {{Abilities}} introduced before Generation VI are no longer limited to 12 characters, including any spaces. Some of these names were re-formatted; for example, Selfdestruct was renamed {{m|Self-Destruct}}. The character limit has been increased to 16.
* This generation leaves the most extra room in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] [[Living Pokédex|if one fills it with exactly one of each species of Pokémon]], with there being 930 spaces and 721 Pokémon.
* This generation contains the [[core series]] games with the shortest English titles: {{pkmn|X and Y}} have one letter each.
* This is the last generation so far:
** To introduce a new [[type]].
** To change types of existing moves. In this case, {{m|Charm}}, {{m|Moonlight}}, and {{m|Sweet Kiss}} became Fairy-type moves.
** To have all core series games directly compatible with each other in multiplayer.
