Enhancement
Pokémon X Version and Pokémon Y Version are the first two Pokémon games that are completely in a 3-dimensional style of gameplay on a handheld system. Each and everything has been changed since the release of previous Pokemon games. The sprites have been changed into 3D designed models from the characters to the Pokémon. The appearance of a Pokémon has also not been changed as seen in the trailer when the male protagonist was running through the grass and encountered a Pikachu.

System Enhancement
The battle system in video games also went under a 3-dimensional style. As seen in the trailer of the video game there were different Pokémon battles introduced.

Shiny Encountering Odds Increased

Wonder Trading
Wonder Trading is a new feature in Pokemon X and Y that allows players to trade with a random player over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. When you tap the Yes button, the server picks a random player to link up with your system. This usually takes twenty seconds but may be longer depending on your connection. Once the systems are linked, you willl see the player you are trading with on the lower screen. Then, you will trade the selected Pokemon with the other player`s selected Pokemon! This can be used to your advantage by Wonder Trading a Magikarp or weak Pokemon, but the other player will most likely be trading their weakling, too.
