Last Tuesday Nintendo announced the first ‘Pokemon’ game designed for the Nintendo 3DS handheld named ‘Pokemon X’ and ‘Pokemon ‘Y’. Now Nintendo has released new stats and details on the starter Pokemon for the game. 

 

In the game ‘Pokemon X’ and ‘Pokemon Y’ players will start with three Pokémon (Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie), the Legendary Pokémon are (Xerneas and Yveltal). This is the first time official artwork has been provided for the starter Pokémon.

 

Nintendo also released a very helpful infographic, which shows each of the three starter Pokemon in relationship to each other. The three starter Pokémon are a : Grass-type Pokémon Chespin, Fire-type Pokémon Fennekin, and Water-type Pokémon Froakie. Nintendo states in a press-release, “As shown in the diagram, each Pokémon has comparative strengths and weaknesses — for example, Fennekin (as a Fire-type) is strong against the Grass-type Chespin but would struggle against the Water-type Froakie. Chespin (as a Grass-type) could stand up to the Water-type Froakie, but not the Fire-type Fennekin, etc. Please visit the announcement trailer to see these Pokémon in action again”.

 

Here are the heights and weights for Legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal. They are as follows:

 

 

· Xerneas: Height: 9’10” Weight: 474.0 lbs.
