The player is welcomed by [[Alexa]], and starts in an area with a large fountain in an area of decreased elevation, surrounded by small staircases leading to the fountain. Between the player's starting position and the fountain is tall grass.
===Gameplay===
In the Pokémon X demo, the {{player}} is {{ga|Calem}} (named Xavier or エックス in Japanese); in the Pokémon Y demo, the player is {{ga|Serena}} (named Yvonne or ワイ in Japanese). The player starts with a random [[Kalos]] [[starter Pokémon]], {{p|Helioptile}}, and {{p|Sylveon}}; all 3 Pokémon are at level 30 and have a random [[gender]], and have a regular chance of being {{Shiny}}. The player starts off the demo with 10 [[Poké Ball]]s, which they can use to catch the wild Pokémon that appear. The player also starts off with 5 [[Potion]]s, 5 [[Hyper Potion]]s, 5 [[Paralyze Heal]]s, and 5 [[Awakening]]s in the bag. [[Pokémon-Amie]] is constantly present on the touch screen while the player is in the overworld. Pokémon do not gain [[experience]] in the demo.


In battle, the bag is divided into the same four categories it has been since [[Generation IV]]: HP/PP restore, status restore, Poké Balls, and battle items. The player starts off the demo with 10 Poké Balls, and can catch the wild Pokémon that appear.
The player is welcomed by [[Alexa]], and starts in a modified version of {{rt|4|Kalos}}, an area with a large fountain in an area of decreased elevation, surrounded by small staircases leading to the fountain. Between the player's starting position and the fountain is [[tall grass]]. A wild {{p|Pikachu}} will appear as soon as the player steps into the tall grass for the first time..


At the fountain is a {{p|Skiddo}}, which the player can mount with A and dismount with B. As Skiddo cannot climb stairs, the player is restricted to the small area around the fountain.

Just past the fountain is the opposite-gendered player character. If the player interacts with him or her, he or she will challenge the player to a battle. He or she has the starter Pokémon that is super effective against the player's.
Just past the fountain is the opposite-gendered [[player character]] ({{ga|Serena}} in X demo or {{ga|Calem}} in Y demo). If the player interacts with him or her, he or she will challenge the player to a battle. He or she has the starter Pokémon that is super effective against the player's and a {{p|Gabite}}.


Past the fountain is a field of flowers. Wild Pokémon can be found while walking in flowers. A {{p|Fletchling}} can be seen walking in one of the patches of flowers. Past the field of flowers are several hedge mazes, each containing a {{p|Marill}} walking around that only makes its cry when interacted with. [[Shauna]] and [[Trevor]] are standing around in the general area. If the player interacts with Shauna, she will challenge the player to a battle. Shauna has the starter Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's.
Past the fountain is a field of red and yellow flowers, in which [[wild Pokémon]] can be encountered. A {{p|Fletchling}} is walking around in one of the patches of red flowers. Past the field of flowers are two hedge mazes on the left and right, each containing a {{p|Litleo}} and a {{p|Marill}} walking around; if the player interacts with one of these Pokémon, it will cry.


Past these mazes is [[Professor Sycamore]] standing in front of a [[gate]]. If the player interacts with him, he will give the player a level 100 {{p|Mewtwo}} holding its [[Mega Stone]] with {{m|Psyshock}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, and {{m|Recover}}; the player loses access to their other Pokémon at this point. He then challenges the player to a battle with his {{p|Crobat}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, and {{p|Chandelure}}.
[[Shauna]] is standing around in the north general area. If the player interacts with Shauna, she will challenge the player to a battle. Shauna has the starter Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's. [[Tierno]] is standing in the northwest and [[Trevor]] in the northeast. If the player talks to Tierno, he will dance; if the player talks to Trevor, he will comment that people want to know more about Pokémon.


{{p|Chespin}}'s moveset is {{m|Vine Whip}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Growl}}, and {{m|Rollout}}. {{p|Fennekin}}'s moveset is {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Fire Spin}}, {{m|Tail Whip}}, and {{m|Flame Charge}}. {{p|Froakie}}'s moveset is {{m|Water Pulse}}, {{m|Round}}, {{m|Quick Attack}}, and {{m|Lick}}.
Past these mazes is [[Professor Sycamore]] standing in front of a [[gate]]. After a certain amount of time has passed, the player will be warped to Sycamore, and he will immediately talk to the player; it is also possible to simply talk to him before this time. He will give the player a level 100 {{p|Mewtwo}} holding a {{DL|Mega Stone|Mewtwonite Y}}; the player loses access to their other Pokémon at this point. He then challenges the player to a battle with his own level 100 {{p|Crobat}}, {{p|Chandelure}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}.
 
The demo version was playable at Gamescom 2013.
