Here's some new info directly from Masuda (or at least from the official Pokémon Twitter)

- Pokémon X and Pokémon Y will refine the core aspects of Pokémon games: collecting, battling, and trading.
- There are over 800,000 Japanese characters in the game, which translates to 1.4 million words in English!
- Players will be able to choose 1 of 7 languages to play the game (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, or Korean)
- The new PSS (Player Search System) will allow players to search for others locally or globally (via Wi-Fi) to battle and trade.
- Skrelp is a Poison- and Water-type Pokémon. Clauncher is a Water-type Pokémon.
- Another new Pokémon, Noivern, is being used to demo the awesome 3D modeling process used for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y
- Mr. Masuda just hinted that interacting with Pokémon in Pokémon-Amie will have an additional benefit in battle!
- A new battle scenario has just been announced! 5-against-1 battles? That's gonna be tough!
Mr. Masuda is showing a video of a Gogoat encountering a horde of Houndour. Horde Encounters look intense!
- Sky Battles confirmed! Another new type of battle has been announced! Prepare for Sky Battles!
Only some Flying-type Pokémon (and a few others) can enter a Sky Battle.
- Talonflame, a new Fire- and Flying-type Pokémon, has just been revealed in a Sky Battle demo against Noctowl!
Talonflame has just been switched out for Haunter! But wait...Haunter isn't a Flying-type Pokémon... (so Pokémon with Levitate are allowed)
- That's it for the Nintendo Developer Roundtable! We'll be posting a recap video of the event tomorrow!

Q&A time
- Pokemon can be imported from previous DS games
- for now we don't know the amount of new Pokémon...
- The new region is based on France
- EVs and IVs will be more visible
- The protagonist will use rollerblades
- Nothing new about the new form of Mewtwo... they evade the question...
- They evade the question about the new team
- The music will be less digitized
- There will be a rival but they don't want to focus only on him
- There will be many different transportation methods
- Online battles will be the same as the old games
- You can choose the music in the online battles
- Pokémon Company revealed that it is exploring the possibility of downloadable content for Pokémon X and Y
