Been a long while since I've played a new pokemon game (last new game I bought was Leafgreen). A bunch of my friends are on the hype train for X and Y, and I saw the new limited edition red and blue DSs and figured it was about god damn time I got my act together and bought a DS, and I pre-ordered Y.
So, can someone give me a summary of any major mechanics overhauls since Gen III? I get that they've added something to the tune of 400 pokemon since then (649 with Gen V, and presumable at least a hundred more for Gen VI), but have there been any huge developments gameplay wise?
