Many reviews praised the improved online service, which streamlines the experience of battling and trading with the PSS (Player Search System), Wonder Trade and improved Global Trade Station instead of Black and White's reliance on Friend Codes.

The reviews also revealed some previously unknown information about X and Y. Firstly, it was revealed that all Pokémon who participate in battle, no matter how short the duration, receive the full amount of experience points rather than a share. It was also confirmed that Pokémon-Amie provides in-battle bonuses, for example to critical hit ratio and evasion. It was also noted that players are able to give friends and strangers O-Powers, which are temporary stat boosts, through X and Y's online service. Two new towns were also mentioned; the seaside city of Shalour and Snowbelle City in the East. It has also been revealed encounters in cave routes are now confined to avoidable dark areas instead of throughout the entire area, in a similar way to tall grass on a regular route. It has also been confirmed that certain moves will have two types. Patricia Hernandez of Kotaku also hinted at the existence of a Ground/Fairy type Pokémon.
