Pokémon Y

Embrace the dark side of a gorgeous, French-inspired fantasy realm with the groundbreaking handheld adventure that permanently shifted its iconic series into a fully modeled 3D environment. Making its retail debut in Japan on October 12, 2013, this monumental release invites trainers to wander across the sprawling, scenic cities and deep forests of the Kalos region. Players set out from a quiet hometown to build an elite squad of creatures, challenge powerful gym leaders, and unravel the world-ending plot of the stylish Team Flare. The grand narrative pits players against the awesome, destructive might of Yveltal, a legendary bird of prey that embodies absolute destruction and threatens to drain the life energy of the entire region to fuel an ancient weapon.

Gamer Fact: This specific release forever altered the competitive playing field by giving classic monsters entirely new forms through Mega Evolution, but it also introduced a highly unique social feature called the Player Search System. This innovative wireless mechanic let players seamlessly connect, trade, and battle with other fans across the globe in real-time, making it incredibly easy to exchange custom powers called O-Powers to help friends overcome tough gym fights or speed up their training routines.

What’s Included:

Original Plastic Case with Artwork Inlay

Compatibility Note: This is an authentic Japanese NTSC-J region software release. It will not boot on a standard, unmodified North American Nintendo 3DS, 3DS XL, or 2DS system due to strict regional locking mechanisms programmed directly into the handheld firmware layout. To load and play this cartridge on a US console, you will need a system running custom firmware or a specialized regional bypass modification.
