    You can get it whenever you get far enough in the game. It isn't very far and you will know because Teirno gives it to you.

    Yes, but you will need 2 3DS systems, and either 2 copies of X/Y or a copy each. After getting the Kanto starters, you can trade them to another game. Afterwards, reset the game that you traded from, and do it again with the third starter. The same can be done for the Kalos starters.
