In case you are wondering why Pokemon X and Y are not permitted to be part of this event, it is simply because they are not compatible with some items, moves, mega and primal evolutions in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. My understanding is that if a player with Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire were to play against someone with X or Y, some features would be disabled in either or both games. There seems to be no plans by The Pokemon Company International to release a X and Y patch to increase compatibility with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
