Among other changes, the games' type chart was modified for the first time since Generation II, some twelve years earlier: Ghost- and Dark-type moves now have normal effectiveness against Steel-types and a new Fairy type has been introduced. New gameplay advances were added, including a new battle mechanic called Mega Evolution. Between them, these games introduced 70 new Pokémon species, 51 new moves, and 26 new Abilities.

These games were released internationally in October of the same year the tie-in anime series began airing one week later. The sixth generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of Pokémon X and Y on January 8, 2013.
