Transcript:

Three thousand years ago a great war broke out between nations on the continent of Kalos. The warrior king Alistair allowed his Floette to fight in the war, but it was killed and Alistair got really, really depressed, deciding the best course of action was to build a totally not crazy eternal life giving resurrection machine that sucked the life out of living things and redirected the energy into a given target. He succeeded in bringing Floette back to life, but by the transitive property of doomsday device ownership was now totally insane. So he turned the life giving machine into an ultimate weapon that wiped out all life on the continent and ended the war, forcing Floette to flee. Overcome by grief, Alistair went into the woods to die, but learned that the life giving energies of the eternal Xerneas had let him live forever. So he buried the doomsday weapon and decided to become a boxcar hobo.
Three thousand years after that, a scary fashion cult led by a billionaire technology mogul has unearthed the doomsday device and captured the ancient gods of life and death to power it, hoping to kill every living thing so that true beauty can be reestablished and the planet can return to its pristine state.
Now it's up to you, a fledgling trainer, to become a true Pokemon Master and defeat all the gym leaders and the elite four, Team Flare, the death and life pokemon Xerneas and Yvetal, all the other legendaries, and the God pokemon Arceus.
Plus every other player who's already done that.

Have fun!

Congrats. You guys actually revealed more info about the games plot and story then the game itself.

[hylianchriss]

Wait... what? This is actually the story behind a Pokemon game? Doomsday devices, destroying the planet, annihilating all life on Earth? Whatever happened to just catching them all, for the hell of it? xD 

[wolfclaw]

Team rocket; "We want money!"
Team flare; "We want to kill everyone everywhere."

Escalation, it happens.

[Pokesquirtle]

Actually, I think the Floette was sad that it was brought back, because it was at the cost of other Pokémon, so it left AZ.

[Mrweaver]

I'd imagine this would be so funny. Like the teacher says "So, what did you do this summer?" And u go like " I just used a mythical creature to circle around the region to defeat other people and save the world while not taking a single shower. Just the usual stuff.

[stefanfr]

"Catching Arceus" "As well as all players who have already done that" Actually, you cannot get Arceus in X and Y, at least not yet seeing as the pokemon transfer thing for X and Y isn't released yet.

[Vespidia]

Could've _SWORN_ the Pokemon dev team say things about "Pokemon never die in battle". X and Y threw that out of the window.

[HotaruMitsuki]

You know...if you change your mindset of being a trainer kicking the butt of Team Flare and consider that you are a French teenager beating up powerful Neo-Nazis with a hatred of everyone with the RPG powers of a Mage, paladin and ninja, you enjoy the game a little more.

[CaptainObvious]

my favourite pokemon is pedobear. but if you faint, you don't only lose half your pokedollars...

[FoxyGekkerson]

At at the head of the nefarious Team Flair… Jacobim Mugatu!

[FilmTalk]

i find this hard to believe that this is an actual plot for pokemon

[WakoDoodle]

Lawl again? I've saved the world, what? 7 regions each? 2 regions 4 times. Beat the elite four over 14 times, collected every badge and over 700 pokemon caught, let alone seen and I still! Still have plans to become a gym leader or pokemon champion, on top of a job.

Hey Ash! I did everything you wanted and more and still have a life; also I can still remain 10 years old too! You're not so special! XD

[TheFallen]

fun fact: you can't get any of the other legendaries except for Mewtwo and one memeber of the legendary bird trio until Pokebank comes out later this year

[ShinyGoldBacon]

All I want to know is why AZ is so freakin' tall. He's what, 9 feet tall? That is never explained in the game.

Also, AZ's real name is Alistar? What? When was that mentioned in the game? I guess I missed it...

[Synful_RoX]

Definitely seems to be the darkest plot compared to any of the other games.

[BansheeHallow]

I love how all the dead Pokemons basically turned into Ghost types

[Dusty--]

Whatever happened to catching them all

[RoseSupreme]

I like how they claimed the part about getting ALL the legendaries when there's only 4 you can catch. =P

Xerneas/Yveltal, Zygarde, Mewtwo and Moltres/Zapdos/Articuno.

[MiloticMaster]

Alright Team Lore, I know you've been having fun doing every single new release this month- but can we go back to the old classics please?

[Neptilable]

Best pokemon story yet. And that is coming from an aqua grunt!
