Unlike previous games in the main series, Pokémon X and Y feature a three dimensional style of gameplay, and 3D modeled characters and creatures are used, rather than sprites like has always been done in the main series. In addition, the games still feature 2D elements of gameplay. The battle system is aesthetically overhauled, featuring more lively reactions to the attacks, such as when a Pokémon is being hit.

One new [[type]] has been introduced, the {{t|Fairy}} type. This type was added to balance the {{t|Dragon}} type, which was previously only weak to itself and {{t|Ice}}. Fairy-type attacks are strong against {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}} types and resisted by {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Poison}}, and {{t|Steel}} types; Fairy-type Pokémon are weak to Poison- and Steel-type attacks, resist Fighting-, {{t|Bug}}-, and Dark-type attacks, and are immune to Dragon-type attacks.
