"Pokemon X and Y" is the latest generation of the game developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for Nintendo 3DS. Since the game has no PC version, developers are now releasing ROM emulators for Nintendo 3DS. The stable version may be released before 2013 ends.

'Pokemon X and Y' PC Emulator

Fans cannot wait till an emulator is released for "Pokemon X and Y," allowing it to be played on computers and laptops. A Neoseeker member, Dilute, asked if any 3DS emulator has been released to support the latest "Pokemon X and Y" edition.

However, the forum's moderator, Squiggle, told the member that they would have to wait about 9 months for it to be released. The conversation was posted on Jan 9, 2013, before the actual worldwide release of "Pokemon X and Y."

Some Web sites, such as pokemon-x-y-rom.blogspot.com, already posted free ROM downloads of "Pokemon X" with recent updates. The download includes "Pokemon X" English link and a 3DS emulator.

But fans and forum members are not convinced with free ROM downloads of several Web sites, as they require taking a survey test before any downloads are performed which they treat as fake or may otherwise contain viruses.
