Translations:
- The region is known as the Kalos region. It seems to be based on France!
- You are able to customise a little — “You can choose the way you look”. Skin tone and hair colour can be changed.
- Gogoat can be ridden in Miaré City, one of the main cities in the Kalos region.
- On the right the screen for the start of a battle is shown. The text reads “Miniskirt Rika challenged you to a battle”, artwork for the character is also shown.
The cover for this issue has now shown up. the boxart for X & Y are shown along with the four new Pokémon, which would suggest are the only new Pokémon showcased in this issue.
[UPD:3 ] In this picture we can see two bird Pokémon perched on a bush. The smaller one (left) appears to be Yayakoma, the bird on the right however, is larger and has a full orange body instead of a blue-grey. Meaning that it could possibly be the evolution for Yayakoma. Its wings are also white, although the underside of Yayakoma’s wings could also be white. On the extreme left of the picture we can also see a normal Yayakoma for reference. It’s entirely possible that the low quality of these images just makes the Pokémon look a little odd, but we’ve thrown it out there for debate. Hopefully higher quality scans will clarify it all soon!
What do you guys think? After all, Pidgey and Pidgeotto really don’t look that different, maybe it’s a similar kind of relationship? Or perhaps, as one sharp reader pointed out, a gender difference?
[UPD 4:] The Pokédex splits Pokémon into 3 different areas and registers them accordingly. Central Kalos dex, Coastal Kalos dex and Mountainous Kalos dex. The number of Pokémon spotted in each area so far is 77, 51 and 6 respectively.
EDIT: Some of the text is very tiny and blurred, but we’ll try to give you as much as we can make of it! We won’t ignore it just because we can’t make out the whole thing, we’ll share all that we know with you! That’s what makes us PokéJungle! -Kriff
pokejungle, moving, Kriffix
By body wasn’t ready! But this is enough info to make of for the long wait/until the release. Or maybe I’m exaggerating haha.
I am almost content with all of this information… the cover shows Mewtwo, so we might be getting some new Mewtwo information, or is that for the Manga adaption? All I hope for now is more information on Sylveon and I will be happy. 🙂
All of them look really good. This comment brings nothing to the conversation.
i wonder if Yayakoma will evovle into a fire/flying snice it can use Nitro Charge
Dat Panda…. Is SO CUTE :3
Electric/Normal lizard is cuter.
Well i bet the panda’s evolution is going to be cuter! A big fat cuddly angry panda
Probably not if it’s a Fighting type, though I guess that depends on your whole aspect of ‘cute’ lol.
KUNG FOO PANDA
and we should get the english name of the new pokemon on the 15th
So, is it only me or has anyone else noticed that there’s a Clefairy pointing out the Box arts on the front cover?
Yep he’s from the Pocket Monsters manga.
I noticed that too, and I’m taking it as them hinting at the Fairy Type info coming soon!!! I can’t wait 🙂

Pretty sure they’re just advertising the mascot for this.
*random person interjecting here* Me, I’m getting kinda curious about the rest of the page around Xerneas and Yveltal. Yveltal seems to be on an extra long page that folds out, and we are only getting the inner most part of the Xerneas page with some info on the starters.
I was on Bulbagarden and one of the members there pointed out that Chespin’s moves in the one screen shot are Tackle, Growl, Vine Whip and Rollout. Those moves make sense. Anyone care to confirm?
you can see that the grass move has 25 pp and vine whip only has 15 and unless they changed the pp of vine whip again that move is not vine whip…razor leaf however does have 25 pp so it could be that also the bottom move kinda looks like 20 pp and rollout does have 20 pp so it could be rollout…chespin looks like a pokemon that can learn rollout imo
About name speculation
ヤンチャム（Yanchamu）：ヤンチャ（mischievous）
ヤヤコマ（Yayakoma）：ヤヤコ（baby）+コマドリ（robin）
ゴーゴート（Gōgōto）：ゴート（goat）
エリキテル（Erikiteru）：エレキテル（one kind of Electrostatic generator）
エリキテル（Erikiteru）：エレキテル（one kind of Electrostatic generator）+エリマキトカゲ（frill-necked lizard）
How cool is Erikiteru’s evolution gonna be since it’s a frill-necked lizard. I want it!
I also hope it can become a frill-necked lizard XD
More info than I expected. I am pretty happy. I still want(ed) Sylveon’s stupid type. :/ I am also sad with the limited player customization.
This may just be what you can do with the character at the beginning. You probably get to unlock new outfits later on in game.
Hmm… I could see that. That could be ok… hopefully it gets better as time passes.
I would like to change hairstyles. He looks too mich like James.
Someone translate Chespin’s moves. It’s on the one where you can read the Electric thing close up
The bottom move might be rollout, read that elsewhere, but the person wasn’t sure.
I agree with the person who mentioned that Chespin’s moves are Tackle, Growl, Vine Whip and Rollout. With Tackle and Growl I am 100% sure as I could make out all the Hiragana to compare them with a list of the japanese names of the attacks. Vine Whip and Rollout at least shared some of the Hiragana that I could make out while looking at the third and fourth attack, furthermore they are highly likely regarding chespins type and it’s description
If Chespin became Grass/Rock I’d be extremely happy! But a lot of Pokemon can learn Rollout that aren’t rock type.
Like Milktank! Moo!
chespins pokedex entry in the scans says it sharpens its thorns…maybe it is a steel type?
Protip: Clicking the pic.twitter.com link in the tweet brings up a far bigger resolution image.
…?
OK guys, I’ve updated with some more information on the individual new Pokémon. There was a new, clearee version so it made it legible. There are still some buts that are too blurry too read though, like what it is that Fennekin carries around with it. For a split second it looked like “Small bird”, but for obvious reasons this would be incorrect lol. Poor Yayakoma…XD
My face when we finally get some info on these games:
Gogoat moves in accordance to the feelings of its trainer; bonds
So the bird can learn Flame Charge huh? This makes me want a fire/flying evolution for it. That would be cool! lol
ditto
http://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/pokemon-blue-version/d/dd/Ditto.gif
I perfectly agree with this speculation. “Robin” = “rouge-gorge” in French = “Red throat” and we can see a little yellow triangle near the eye of Yayakuma, which could perfectly fit with a final Fire/Flying type.
I mean this color pattern is strangely close to Fire-type Pokemon (even if color is not always revealing Pokemon type of course!) but I can imagine a kind of flame thing or red and yellow feathering.
No guarantee, because a couple of non-fire Pokemon that can use that move. Beartic!
Yanchamu seems like it would be dark/fighting or grass/fighting or evolve into such
Likely Grass/Fighting. ANd it would have to be an evo, since it has it’s type revealed already.
-looks at the bottom picture-…….uhhh does that player look like…he’s running……..diagonal?????
No, he’s running right. We basically know already that it is still grid-based which is lame.
it can still be grid based and include moving diagonally, like pokemon mystery dungeon.
Meh it still doesn’t make it any better. I want free roaming. And he is also clearly walking right so yah.

running DIAGONAL!
Now that we have the character art, I wonder how much of the male protagonist’s outfit will be used on Satoshi’s (Ash’s) outfit for the X & Y anime.
So does the fact that the region is only shaped like france throw the Nordic legendaries idea out the window??
No, Pokemon does what it wants.
Indeed. Last generation we had a variety of Legendaries based off different ideas, so nothing’s out the window because of the region inspiration.
So happy to see the region based off France though, makes me excited.
…..wow I’m really surprised this much info was leaked ^_^ I’m already in love with the robin! And character customization is awesome! I have a good feeling about this generation!
I think we are still missing 3 pages. The Xerneas one, the Yveltal one, and then a backside to the Yveltal one. I am pretty sure the page with the Female PC is the backside of the page with the robin. So I think it is Xerneas, Robin, Yveltal, back of Yveltal, Female PC, and Male PC.
2nd page with the characters, what is that thing in the top right hand corner? It looks like something that is new, does anybody know?
Something I haven’t seen anyone mention. Look at the image where the guy is riding Gogoat through that plaza… THERE ARE OTHER POKEMON IN THERE. There is a red butterfly thing to the lower right of Froakie, some girl is carrying a Grey Cat/Dog thing, but I haven’t picked anything else out yet.
To me the red butterfly looks rather like a Yayakoma, the robin bird pokemon introduced and if you mean the girl on the lower left of the picture i really don’t see her carrying a pokemon to me it looks like a grocery bag that contains a baguette (further hinting at the region being based on France?)
Maybe, but you clearly see the Robin at the left side of the scene on some kind of street sign, and that thing on the right has a lot more red, its entire body seems to be red, which is clearly not the case of Yaykoma. As for the other thing? Maybe it’s a bag, but I certainly don’t see any food in it. To me, I see a grey head with a white muzzle and a large pink inner ear. We just need a clearer image.
That isn’t a butterfly, it’s a Yayakoma and that just looks like food in a bag that the lady is carrying
