Latest news:
Mega evolutions are here! Mega evolutions are a special form of Pokemon that can be activated during battle. It will allow certain Pokemon to become even more powerful to make for even bigger and better battles! It has also been said that mega evolved Pokemon change abilities and even types!
The current list of Pokemon with mega evolutions is:
Mawile
Lucario
Mewtwo
Absol
Ampharos
But, to transform into Mega form, Pokemon will need to hold a Mega Stone! Take Lucario for example. Before a battle begins, their trainer will need to equip them with Lucarionite, a special type of Mega Stone that will only work on Lucario. Aparently, there are more conditions that may need to be completed for a Mega Evolution to take place, but no one knows just yet.
There is also a new way to help your Pokemon grow, Super Training! Super Training is a mini-game type feature that allows your Pokemon to effectively train themselves! Now, because I'm far to lazy to spend ages attempting to explain this, I'll just give you the link to the official Pokemon X and Y website for a quicker look:

New gym leader! Korrina's gym looks to be some kind of roller skate obstacle course, with the gym leader herself donning a pair. The type of Pokemon that this gym leader deals with isn't exactly known, but I'm guessing at either Fighting type or Flying type. This leader also seems to know some facts about Mega evolution.
HOLD ON A MINUTE!
Sorry about that, but I just found out that, starting from October 12th (The games' launch date) players can receive a free level 10 Torchic! With a special ability, Speed Boost! This ability allows Torchic's speed stat to raise every time a turn ends, making them incredible speedy later on. This Torchic will be holding Blazikenite, the Mega Stone needed for Blaziken to reach it's Mega form. The Torchic's starting moves will be:
1) Scratch
2) Growl
3) Focus Energy
4) Ember
This special Torchic will be available to download via the Nintendo Network, don't miss out on this opportunity!
That's it for now, Trainers. Stay posted!
