When Pokémon X and Y hit the Nintendo 3DS, the series finally stepped into the 3D era — and the world of Kalos came alive like never before. In this episode, we explore how Game Freak reinvented the formula with new visuals, Mega Evolutions, and a deeper sense of connection between player and Pokémon. From exploring Lumiose City’s sprawling streets to assembling the perfect team for online battles, X and Y marked a turning point — a bridge between nostalgia and modern design. It wasn’t just evolution by name, but for the series itself.
