Pokemon X and Y Guides Feature Shiny Hunting Must-Haves, Nintendo Sales, Eevee Evolutions, and More
With Pokemon X and Y having enjoyed the limelight for a while, there have been a lot of fan projects, creations, and even software to help the community get further in the game.
Granted, there are some that have taken this one step towards more malicious grounds, such as potential Pokemon X and Y cheating in competitive gaming. But on the whole, there are a number of infographics and guides, both creative and informative alike which have been circulating around the Internet.
Here are some of the nice infographics that you may find helpful or even just fun to look at.

Pokemon Hatching
One of the more recent creations from Pokemon Redditors is the Pokemon Hatching infographic posted by tacocatistacocat.
As you can see on this Imgur page, it features statistics and numbers which are informative and fun to know if you're just starting out-or if you want to cross-check for reference.
For instance, for Pokemon X and Y, almost half of the number of Pokemons are hatchable. To be exact, of the 721 pokemons, you can hatch 321 of them.
*News for Battlefield 4 gamers: Here are some issues to expect with the China Rising DLC, as well as DICE's plans for the game.
Around 63% of the pokemons in Pokemon X and Y usually hatch in 5355 steps, even starter Pokemons, with the Magikarp being the exception, as it hatches in around 1080 steps.
Talking about legendary pokemons, Manaphy and Phione are said to be the only ones hatchable.
Some random fun facts are also included, such as the distance that it would take for a girl or a boy to walk in order to hatch an egg and even the step size of an average male or female player. Check out the rest of the facts in the link above.

Nintendo sales
Saying that Pokemon X and Y was a huge success in terms of reception and sales for Nintendo is quite an understatement, considering that it's a game that reached the million mark in 1 day, putting the previously record holder Mario Kart 7 that reached million sales in four weeks.
It's no surprise that Nintendo has created its own infographics detailing the success of Pokemon X and Y in real, concrete numbers, and Nintendo Life features the infographics, as seen here.

Some of the facts show the jump in sales for the Nintendo 3DS, as well as the Million Unit Club Pokemon, which hold the different Pokemon games that have reached the one million mark on their first month of sales.
Another interesting point is that one in five Nintendo 3DS owners have bought one copy of Pokemon X and Y. Check out more information about Nintendo's best game so far in the franchise.
