Pokemon X and Y: Appearance of New Zygarde Hints at Pokemon Z Release
A new legendary Zygarde makes an appearance in the new Pokemon X and Y games.
This Zygarde is a ground-dragon type Pokemon that belongs to a group that emerges when the Kalos ecosystem fails into disarray, according to a report from the Japanese website 4Gamer. It has the highest damage output at multiple enemies during combat.
Zygarde comes with various abilities including Aura Break that is used to reverse the effects of auras like the characteristic properties of Zeruneasu "Fairy Aura" or Iberutaru "dark aura."
The confirmation of Zygarde in the game hints the release of Pokemon Z following suit with the historical schedule of the Pokemon company.
The Pokemon X and Y launched in the fall of last year and the games are now the official versions for Nintendo's championship series.
The company announced that it is leaving behind Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 as the premier games for the Pokemon World Championships.
It also stated that its plans for this year's series will come into play in the U.S. during this month. This is the first time the championships have been held since the Pokemon X and Y games were released and they give players a chance to compete against one another for accolades.
Nintendo will hold five regional events this month and the winner will receive trophies and the opportunity to enter into the U.S. National Championships and potentially the 2014 World Championships, which will be held this August in Washington D.C.
These events are open to the public and anyone who owns a 3DS and a copy of Pokemon X or Y can enter into the contest. The championships also feature Pokemon trading card-game competitions for those who do not want to play the 3DS game.
