Do you have a Pokémon party that you can't wait to battle with against top Trainers? Join the 2014 April Friendly, an Online Competition featuring players from around the world! The 2014 April Friendly features Single Battles, and every Pokémon in the Kalos Pokédex is eligible—even Legendary Pokémon such as Xerneas and Yveltal! All the Pokémon on your party will be set to Level 50 automatically for the duration of the battle—this goes for Pokémon above and below level 50.

Registration for the 2014 April Friendly begins Thursday, April 17, 2014, at 00:00:00 UTC. You'll need a Pokémon Trainer Club account and your own copy of the Pokémon X or Pokémon Y video game with a party of eligible Pokémon. And you’ll need to read and accept the regulations on the Pokémon Global Link before the battle period begins.

Visit the 2014 April Friendly regulations page for complete details on this fun event. And good luck, Trainers!

Hackers have jumped into Pokemon X/Y once again, and this time they've come out with more Mega evolutions and a look at 3 more Shiny Pokemon. I'll place the video after the jump to avoid spoilers.

Update: The Infernape listed in the article below is actually considered legal. There is a way to use the US Walmart code for the HA Chimchar to obtain the Pokemon in other regions. Dream World Pokemon can also be caught in any ball. The Torterra is still completely illegal.Secondly, it has been confirmed that Pokemon with unreleased Dream World abilities can be transferred to Gen 6, but cannot take part in online play.Read more...

Nintendo's 2DS Pokémon X & Y bundles are the saddest bundles of them all. No special colors or decals — just the standard blue 2DS with Pokémon Y at Toys"R"Us or the red with Pokémon X at Target for $149.99. The games come pre-installed, so you don't even get a pretty case. What a festive way to say "here's your damn Pokémon." Both bundles will be in their respective stores December 6. Read more...

- standard VGC format: Double Battles, 4 Pokemon picked

- Pokémon which have been transferred from Generation V using Pokemon Bank are not allowed
- Mega Evolutions & Hidden Abilities are allowed
- Illegally modified Pokemon are banned

I find it funny that the main new feature of Pokemon X/Y will be the mega evolutions, and they are banned from the 2014 VGC's. 

So...basically it's the 2013 VGC's but you can only use the Kalos Dex. 

Assorted_Cake_Projectiles

Yeah pretty much. Mega evolution stats are pretty much Legendary tier. 

But I felt that with the loss of a held item and the limit to one per team kept it balanced. 

Im probably not parttaking in VGC's this year due to time constraints, but if I was I wouldnt be too mad about the mega evo's and hidden abilities ban. But it does feel a little annoying. We wouldnt be allowed to use anything brought from outside the KalosDex, and the new hidden ablilities and mega evo's are mostly what Gen 6 brought to the Metagame table. So stripping new mechanics essentially makes it last year's VGC's but with a few pokemon missing and a few pokemon added. 

As for not wanting to deal with new things, there is a lot of time between now and the 2014 VGC's. That is enough leeway to do suspect testing (The VGC tier in Pokemon Showdown exists for a reason) to get a better feel of what is OP and what is not. 

tl;dr: 
I feel it's lazy and foolish to just ban everything new, and that is how real OP things fall through the cracks and end up sweeping the tournaments.

"I actually made various compositions throughout the game, but whenever I was working on something and wondered 'what's a Pokémon-sounding tune?' I put importance in the essence of Masuda's past work, and thought about it. Especially for things such as the battle music, where I made some with a conscious approach of Masuda's music." - sound director, Shota Kageyama
