Pokemon X & Y 3DS XLs look great in person

Check out the nice little touch on the back, too

When I was playing Pokemon X and Y earlier this week, I also got to check out the X and Y themed 3DS XLs we previously reported on. Smudged them up real nice with my greasy fingerprints.

While I like the more muted, but still colorful hue of the blue 3DS XL (which I own), I have to admit, these red and blue X and Y models really pop. They shine, too, with that lacquered looking finish. Of course, that also makes them finger print magnets.

Also check out the shot of the back of the systems and the cute, minimalist rendering of X and Y‘s starter Pokemon.

You can also cop some bonus images for new Pokemon Tyrantrum. If that name wasn’t enough, its species is, “Despot Pokemon.” Amazing.
