Pokémon X&Y to Feature Mega Evolutions and Original Starters

Pokémon X&Y is scheduled to arrive exclusively for Nintendo 3DS in October, and when the game releases, fans will have plenty of new features to experiment with and enjoy in the new release. The fist change players will notice is the most important decision that will be made in the new game. Rather than simply choosing between Chespin, Fennekin or Froakie as starter Pokémon, fans will also be given the option to take one of the three original starters from the Kanto region: Bulbasuar, Charmander and Squirtle.

The starter Pokémon will also have the ability to reach a new evolutionary step known as Mega Evolution in Pokémon X&Y. Trainers will need to equip a Mega Stone to their Pokémon and possess a Mega Ring that contains a powerful artifact known as a Key Stone in order for their Pokémon to Mega Evolve during combat. Not every Pokémon will be capable of a Mega Evolution, but Nintendo and Game Freak did announce that Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise (the fully evolved forms of Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squritle) will be able to reach this powerful new level.

The team behind Pokémon X&Y also announced the all new Pokémon Bank software that will be available exclusively for Nintendo 3DS and will work with another app known as the Poké Transporter to allow trainers to collect, share and trade their Pokémon from multiple copies of Pokémon X&Y, Pokémon Black & White and Pokémon Black 2 &White 2 online. The service will feature a massive storage capacity of 100 Boxes or up to 3,000 Pokémon. The software will charge an annual rate, but it will offer a free trial period as well with more details arriving on the official Pokémon website later this year with full details.

Finally, the Pokémon Direct event showcased the all new Pokémon X&Y themed systems that will be arriving in North America and Europe shortly before the game's official release date, so preorder your system and copy of Pokémon X&Y today and experience Mega Evolutions and all the new features the game has to offer this October!


Pokémon X&Y are now available for preorder from most major retailers for the MSRP of $39.99 and is scheduled to release exclusively for Nintendo 3DS on October 12, 2013. Pokémon X&Y are rated E by the ESRB for Comic Mischief & Mild Cartoon Violence. For more information on the games, check out the official Pokémon X&Y website.

Buffet Bliss or Southern Swing-and-a-Miss? A Bite at Kacey’s in Huntsville

  Walk through the doors of Kacey’s Country Cooking in Huntsville and you’re greeted by the comforting smell of fried chicken, collard greens, and cornbread that could double as perfume for any true Southerner. This is where the buffet line reigns supreme, the sweet tea flows endlessly, and dessert is always just an arm’s reach away. For many locals, Kacey’s is a comfort food paradise. Fans brag about the fried green tomatoes, juicy pork chops, slow-cooked beef tips, and banana pudding that deserves its own holiday. The staff are another highlight—quick with refills, friendly enough to feel like family, and the kind of people who can make a buffet feel like Sunday dinner at grandma’s. But Kacey’s has its critics too. Some diners rave about “the best bang for your buck in town,” while others complain that the food sometimes veers into “straight-from-the-can” territory.
