The International names of Pokémon, moves and Region etc have been added to the update. All the information can be found below!
- Gogoat’s English name remains as Gogoat. The Pokémon is Grass type and is able to learn Horn Leech, which was we reported on previously.
- Erikitel, is to be called Helioptile in English. The Electric/Normal typing is a little unusual. It learns Parabolic Charge, which heals the user for half of the damage it deals to its enemies.
- Yanchamu will be known as Pancham in English and is Fighting type. Pancham learns a new move called Parting Shot, which lowers the target’s Attack and Special Attack, then switches itself out for another Pokémon in the party.
- Yayakoma will be known as Fletchling in English. It’s Normal/Flying and learns the Fire type move Flame Charge. Could it be that Fire will be more prominent in it as it evolves…?
- The new region in X & Y is known as Kalos we correctly romanised the Japanese name as this. As we suspected, it most likely comes from the greek word ‘kalos’, meaning ‘good, beauty’. The region is shaped similar to a star and is based on France, pulling many features and locations from the real-world country.
- Lumiose City is the central city of the Kalos region, and is based on Paris. It features an Eiffel tower-like structure, little canals and even has 3D models of cars and maps.
- Customization confirmed. You are able to get new outfits and accessories at certain points in the game. You are able to change your costumes when you ‘go back’, possibly to your home town.
- Diagonal walking confirmed. No more 4 directional walking.
- Xerneas is pronounced ZURR-nee-us and Yveltal ee-VELL-tawl
This also means that Pokébeach’s source was right, things should get interesting!
Click to check out the Kalos region in detail. Let the speculation of places and facilities begin!
things are getting interesting.
And I’m thrilled about the ability to change the outfit
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
Loads of information on websites worldwide
You can change clothes!
Yay yay yay for Helioptile!
Lumiose, Kalos? I wonder what is the theme if there is one.
helioptile confirmed as a frilled lizard (view animation on battle!)
Kalos comes from the same Greek word meaning “good, beauty”
May be looking into humanity, moral values or some sort?
Lumiose…like the city of lights. I see what ya did there.
“Your adventure in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y
takes place in the Kalos region, home to beautiful skies and forests!”
Okay it mentions skies there, is it so that we will get something lke sky battles or sky paths?
And new region looks like it has variety! I love it! And lots and lots of rivers.
Skies and forests were also where Yveltal and Xerneas were shown.
Pokebeach’s source said there’s a new form of battling in the sky for Flying/Levitate Pokemon
Maybe they meant flying pokemon .
maybe you could actually fly your pokemon to where you’re going.
Is the guy leaking the names of Gogoat etc same as the one leaking the Fairy-type? If yes then Fairy-type is highly likely to be true!
It’s not the ame guy who leaked Fairy first, but it is the guy who leaked this (thanks to Pokebeach):
Fairy will be a new type. It is weak to Poison and Steel, immune to Dragon, super effective against Dragon, Dark, and Fighting, and Fire and Psychic-type Pokemon take half damage from it.
Sylveon is Fairy-type. Some older Pokemon will be reclassified to Fairy, such as Mawile (Steel/Fairy).
Mewtwo has two new formes, not just one. Both are activated via items.
The professor’s English name is Patrice.
The Starter final evolutions are Fire/Psychic, Grass/Fighting, and Water/Dark.
The first Gym is Bug, the second is Fairy, and the fourth is Fighting.
A few attacks will be dual-typed.
There will be a new type of battling style that Flying-type Pokemon and Pokemon with Levitate can participate in.
You will be able to see a Pokemon’s EVs at a certain in-game facility. You will be able to boost the EVs through mini-games. It will take about two hours to get one stat to max EVs.
*Insert whiney baby voice*But I don’t wanna Grass/Fighting starter!!
Hey at least it GRASS/Fighting and not FIRE/Fighting
is it not a Grass/Dark??
Even if the source’s information about the new pokemon names was revealed, this aspect of his “leak” still contradicts the information given out by Pokemon Smash in which Sylveon’s type is supposedly stronger than Ice.
Smash could as well be trolling us. Have you seen the show? That Sylveon bit was pure randomness.
Keep in mind that the leak played a Beta game of the games, not the finished deal, could GF have decided to make Fairy strong against Ice and maybe even change other stuff that the leak revealed it’s possible since the games were finished yet when he or she had a chance to play the beta.
YESSSS thank you sweet Arceus !!!! So everything is true :’D
At the official website:
“Before your adventure begins, you will first select whether you want to play as a male or female hero. Your adventure will be largely the same no matter what your choice.”
O.o does this mean gender affects the story, by a little?
I think they are talking about sexist reactions.
Duh. You rival marry be opposite to your gender. Also, your clothes will be different
No, that means the story won’t change, no matter what gender you choose.
YES NO MORE GRID !!!!!!
finally we can move how ever we want
It looks like the region is a not very large…
There are places based on Brittany (Carnac Stones in the western area) but also on the Mont-Saint-Michel, Versailles, Paris confirmed. The South of France is missing though and it seems that there won’t be a lot of sea areas…
Happy to see snow and orange colors of tree in the North. Can’t wait to see more!!!
Gameplay may take longer though…. They don’t make the cities reachable within steps….. and there’re so many rivers, so Surfing or some sort may be required, much like Hoenn’s Mauville City.
Anyway, I see an Ice gym!
When you take a look at the video, you see that Lumiose is a pretty big city. The map may be small but the actual places most likely aren’t. And I’m willing to bet there are some islands or whatever other places.
I would consider the fact that the regional Pokedex is separated into Mainland, Coastal, and Mountain sections. Maybe this is just a map of the Mainland?
Is that a place based off of Stone henge and the far left ? l
Stonehenge or Carnac and other celtic folklores shared by Brittany in France, and British Isles
Yeah it looks like it, may be where all the myths may come from.
Notice that they merged the UK with the France-based region too haha! Stonehenge top-right. Thats crazy…
I think it’s Carnac not Stonehenge
Actually, it looks like both. It has the distinct Stonehenge formation, with the Carnac stones before it. Hype!!
Maybe players will have the option to surf most of the routes later on. It looks like canals and rivers touch nearly every landmark.
Yaaaaa!!! This game is looking great! I’m happy about being able to walk diagonally and from the looks of it the graphics look much cleaner, even the battle scenes
I feel that the game will be a huge hit and definitively confirm the success of the 3DS all over the world. Don’t you agree?
Let’s not forget: Luigi’s Mansion 2, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies, Link to the Past 2, all this year. 😉
Yeah of course
In my experience with LM: Dark Moon and PM: Sticker Star, replay value was pretty low. I’ve seen owners of FE: Awakening and Monster Hunter continue there games for a lot longer than I could with those two games. With X & Y and New Leaf, I think the library of must-carry-around-3DS titles will definitely make the 3DS a great successor to the DS.
Nintendo must have sat down and decided one day “Let’s completely slaughter the Vita in 2013” or something, because with all this, the Vita is pretty much defeated.
Anyone else feel this game looks TOO realistic as to the usual cartoony characters

Then you must not have played pokemon before
Just looks like a 3d version of Sugomori’s art style to me.
I guess I just have to get used to it then
High quality box art here:

Y: http://images.p-nintendo.com/o/2013/05/51922c11cbe4cd.jpg
I am in love with Pokemon y’s cover design.
And me in love with X box art
Usually i do not like the look of the box so i throw it away, but these two are well thought out. so i will be keeping the box just so i can look at it XD
So if the guy who had some talks with Pokebeach true, does that mean Mewtwo will get one more new form? :(:
My opinion only. 🙂
Im so excited for X and Y!! I love the look of the new Region, I get the impression were only been shown a corner and that their are other parts yet to be seen.
Im really excited to see what other news comes out >w<
Pokemon shipping spree!!x Beartic
Looking wicked, and there are some really cool rumours being thrown around. I was kinda hoping there’d be at least part of another country in the game. I see we have a lot of rivers but I miss regions with large amounts of ocean. Could have had the corner of Britain or something as an island.
Actually there are a few islands off of the coast from the kalos region
Is it only me or is the most exiting part is that you can sit on a bench?
I love the Roselia-based fountain and this village looks so peaceful
I’m not alone !! It’s little things like that, that make me happy :L
Lol not just you, I freaked so hard at that bit!
I like the name Helioptile, now only if i can pronounce it….
I’ll help ya!
Helioptile: hee-lee-OHP-tile
From Helios, the Greek Sun God, and reptile.
The name seems to be incorporating the word heliophile, which is any organism that is attracted to large amounts of sunlight.
I want to say that the p is silent – Helio-tile…kinda like pterodactyl?
P isn’t silent in the word reptile, why would it be silent now? The two words for helioptile is “helios” (meaning sun) and reptile. I assume it’s pronounce Hee-lee-OP-tile. Basically it’s a solar-powered lizard, and it’s design is compared to solar panels.
I can tell that the starting town is the one in the lower center with the two triangles in front of it. If you look at this trailer you see male trainer sitting down in a city with green roofs and a fountain. This is the same city that he we saw as we passed by route 3 in the first trailer. If you retrace the steps (that being route 3, route 2 being the one before that, and the one after the town being route 1) you can tell that this is where we begin our adventure
There is a good chance you’re right. What does that mean for our first gym if it has a Roselia fountain in front of it?
“The mysterious Kalos region is shaped intriguingly like a star.”
That’s the description of this pic on the official Pokémon site. Wonder what they’re possibly hinting at…
>.>
COSMIC TYPE!
( ‘__’)
*pokerface*
YOU AREN’T BELIEVING HARD ENOUGH!! ALSO LOTS OF MUSICIANS ARE SUPERSTARS, SOUND TYPE CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALSO LOOK AT ALL THOSE MECHANISMS IN THE DESERT AREA, ARTIFICIAL TYPE CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bridges can be seen, BRIDE TYPE CONFIRMED!!
Fairy types when u wish upon a star and who grants wishes fairys do
I think you are onto something here. It would make sense that the starting town be in the lower middle, and then continue to the central city of Lumiose City. What could be an interesting departure from the traditional regions, is to allow you to continue from Lumiose City eaither East (Coastal Kalos) or West (Mountainous Kalos). This would allow “you” to really make your journey unique and allow “you” to complete the game with alternate Gyms/Badges…
It could be! Thought I think we will go to lumiose then southwest towards the mountain going clockwise to the desert place, to the city above lumiose, to the snow city, the mountain, to the lake with the thing sticking out, the other snow city, and then the e4 (the castle to the right of thw city with the green roofs)
I noticed that i cannot see any desert place like they showed us in the first trailer so it might be that the region is bigger en that this is just a part op the region(srry for my bad english)
Its right next to lumiose city to the left of it
actually if you look at the place in the up left corner of the lumiose city you can see that place.
Oh n I noticed as a person mentioned yesterday that helioptile is going to look like a frilled lizard n in the gameplay it’s ears open up in a way the frilled lizard would. Possibly electric/dragon for final evo???
I really would like to see a fully-evolved Pokemon with Helioptile’s unique typing, but I think they could take it in a couple of cool directions like that.
yeah thats true.But i wonder since it has electric/normal, that maybe it’d be a electric/fairy. Or they could split the evolution down the line and one final evo could have dragon and another with fairy?? you never know.
I don’t think they can go wrong. It has a cool move, cool typing, cute design. It will fight alongside my Froakie.
I was planning on getting a froakie and helioptile as well ^_^
Gogoat pre-evo?
could be..
would be cool to be able to interact with pokemon just in the streets of the cities like that .3.
Is it just me, or does one of them not seem to have any horns?
Perhaps it is only a gogoat male and a gogoat female (without horns), OR a male gogoat pre-evo with a female gogoat pre-evo. Wait and see…
I’ll be damned!! i think it is a pre evolution. Like in Black And White. They showed Braviary in its final form and most people thought it was a final evo and then rufflet came along. So yes a pre evo for Gogoat.
Same with Darmanitan and Lucario. They always have shown an evolved Pokémon.
Hi. And cool detail-ism 🙂
What is this thing?? Looks like onion bags.
What I dont understand is how people dont notice the fact that he has ROLLER BLADES ON!!!!!!!! You can see the wheels!!!!!
🙂
But they were already revealed in the first trailer, so people don’t freak out on them
I know but we can actually see them. Not just the trainer floating lol
Indeed. That’s pretty neat. ._.
Can’t see a big tree on the map as of yet
Whoops, found yggdrasil, south east
that looks like a bush
I THINK I HAVE SOMETHING HERE
If you want details, check this (link to an HQ image of the POKEDEX of Kalos, you have to zoom):
http://www.pokebip.com/pokemon/pages/news/pokedex_kalos.png
– Menu sprites have been conserved (yeaaaaah)
– you can see the “menu sprites” of Fennekin and Fletchling in the Pokedex
– you can also see that Zigzagoon seems to be a rodant that you can find at the beginning of the adventure, being just before Fletchling family in the Pokedex
– There is a part of another menu sprite of another Pokemon which is difficult to identify (some say Mareep but I am not sure, i have checked the sprite of mareep and it doesn’t really fit)
– The position of this Pokemon may confirm that Fletchling has 2 évolutions
What do you think?
I think you’re right. It’s faint, but I do see the menu sprites.
I see a zigzagoon
I think it’s Natu or Anorith…
Black and grey…. Poochyena perhaps?
I think it’s Mareep.
After Fletchling there are two empty boxes, possibly it’s two evos. Then comes Mareep and two boxes after that, Flaafy and Ampharos. After those two boxes is another box lit up, signifying a Pokémon already seen. Most likely a basic staged Pokémon. Wasn’t Mareep shown in a trailer? Maybe I’m just imagining that…
That’s defiantly a Mareep sprite! 🙂
Although it does represent a pidgey and a mareep. It doesn’t. This sprite has a red bulb, and mareep has a yellow bulb. N it may like like a pidgey but the color scheme of a pidgey isn’t yellow
Whaaaat? Mareep’s tail ball has always been red. Flaaffy’s is blue, and Ampharos’s is red again. Where did you get the idea that the tail was yellow?
It’s more of an orange. From the sprites I’ve seen. Maybe these mareep are from early gens
I found it less like Mareep when I amplification, may be a new bug type Pokemon?
Looks a lot like Pidgey’s HG/SS Pokedex Sprite.
It’s actually Pidgey 😉 Zoom in really close, then you can see the resemblences ^^
It sort of looked like flareon to me
It’s definetly Natu. I checked.
its superman or picachu, its always one of these two
I could totally believe there pre evo’s of GoGoat because they hav the same color scheme as GoGoat & they don’t rly look like bushes to me
I agree. They don’t look like a bush; they look like baby Gogoats. If these were mere plants/bushes for decoration, it would make sense that there would probably be bushes on the end of the building as well; not just that one random corner and no where else on the street.
wow it turned out to be real, nice catch!
YES!!! Now pokebeach will reveal some more insider information!
Pokebeach said that the classified information will be leaked IF all of the information that source gave him was true, including the existence of a Fairy-type and its resistances/weaknesses/immunities in the type chart.
”I’m not going to post any of it until something more substantial than an attack effect is verified.”POKEBEACH. the English names were correct so although it wasn’t a heap of info pokebeach still might gradually release what they’ve been told, hopefully
HAS NO ONE ELSE FANGASM’D THAT CUSTOMIZATION IS MORE THAN SKIN AND HAIR?!
OH MY GOD, AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SIT ON THINGS!!!!!!!!
Lol, that was intense.
AND HELIOPTILE’S FRILL EXPANDS.
Yes to all of the above! I fist-pumped when Helioptile’s frill went all Jurassic Park. Oh PLEASE let his final evo be awesome, please please please!
I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW MY WHOLE BRAIN IS SQUEALING <3
And is the fact that Chespin learns Rollout a hint at its evolution’s typing? It sure will come in handy against fire/flying.
And the fact that Froakie is going to learn Quick Attack means that it is confirmed we will be having a speedy Water type instead of bulky, amirite? No other water starter learns Quick Attack.
I love that it’s not just me that doesn’t want a bulky Froakie evolution.
The bulky water type starter trend is about is annoying as fire/fighting, if you ask me.
YES!!!!! And the fact you can move anywhere, no more straight lines :’D
Hell yeah, I have!!
Dem costumes!
