New Worldwide X & Y Information!

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMnwB6neGlY

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!

  1. That snowy mountain in the upper right has me so intrigued…will it play a similar role to Mt. Silver? Can’t wait for these games!

    • Pretty sure that is Yggdrasil the tree from Norse Mythology which goes along with the idea that the ideas for Yveltal and Xerneas come from that.

  2. This gives some validity to Pokebeach’s source. I’m not too thrilled with Chespin being Grass/Flighting, but I’m not upset either cause I love Breloom who’s also Grass/Fighting ^_^ Was still hoping Chespin woulda been Grass/Rock or Grass/Steel. Other than that, the only thing I hate is dual-typed moves. That’s just something that seems too confusing and really no point to it.

    • He actually admits that there was a mistake when posting it, and that Chespin is the one who’s Grass/Dark, while Froakie is Water/Fighting.

  3. Does anyone else realize that since Pokebeach’s sources was correct about the English names, than that means a Fairy Type actually exists?

  4. Pokémon names and move names seem to have increased beyond the 10 & 12 respective character limit. France has called Pancham Pandespiègle which is 2 characters longer, while Parabolic Charge is 16 characters long.

  5. Hay I just re-watched the trailer and I noticed something unique. It seems we can move the camera in the beginning of the trailer, does that mean the circle pad pro or L and R buttons now have a use?

  6. Not sure if this is purely design or not, but I highly doubt that the little water drop looking thing on the top of the cars is just aesthetics. I pretty sure it’s based off of a pokemon. Maybe in the next update we’ll see something 😀

  7. 3D graphics. Diagonal walking. Riding Pokemon. Animated pokemon battles. Character customization. Mewtwo forme. Possible new type. One word: REVOLUTIONARY. (lol and we thought black 2/white 2 as direct sequels were revolutionary in the franchise.)

    The map makes me so excited for the type of legendaries we’ll get. I notice some sort of rock ruins in the west, an isolated tree-like object in the south-east, and an island cave on the north-west and an icy mountain/volcano in the northeast. I’m excited! 😀

    PS. the boxart is beautiful. That is all.

  8. From serebii

    The Kalos region is in fact so large, that it actually has separated its own Pokédex into three parts; Central Kalos, Coast Kalos and Mountain Kalos.

  9. There still seems to be places of the region not yet shown on the bottom and right sides, so this huge region could get even bigger. Also if you see in the trailer there is a tunnel leading out of Lumiose City with a 5, there appears to be 5 main paths in the region each one coming out of Lumiose City, which if you look closely at you can see 5 major roads coming out of a center circle.

    • Just had the idea that the clouds to the south could definitely be covering up a Battle Frontier and the ones towards the east could be Islands.

  10. Did anyone think you can go to Sinnoh in this game ? I mean , The Top right seems to be blocking something , Maybe you can go to Sinnoh ?

    Reply
    • If you look in the bottom right, there’s a grassy area on top of the mountains. I don’t think they would just put grass in an area that would usually be mountainous for no reason, so it might connect to somewhere or have a role

  11. I noticed something kind of interesting.

    In this one we see the lass, and two other girls… Well, look at the girl in the back. That is the female protagonist.

    The Female Protagonist without the hat and glasses, AND her hair is different. This confirmation for different hairstyles as well? And maybe an expansion of the Multiplayer aspect of Black and White?

  12. I know that Gen 6 hasn’t even released yet, but the region being attached to more land to the east of it reminds me of the Kanto region in Gen 1 which makes me think the 3rd game installment or the possible Gen 7 (you know it will happen) games will connect with this region in a similar fashion to Pokemon Gold and Silver’s Johto region.

    Reply
    • Like I said it is WAY to early to start up Gen 7 rumors/ideas but I can’t help it!!!

      The next Gen region will either be NORTH of this region based on Great Britain, SOUTH of this region based on Spain or EAST of this region based on Germany!!! YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!!!

  13. Wait… if this is supposely based off Norse Mytholgy/Yggsidral, then where is the giant tree? I dont know if its the orange thing in the middle of the town with orange/brown trees in the map.

    Reply
    • I’m not sure but look at the town in the snow with the white colored roofs, below that is a forest and below the forest appears to be a big tree with big roots. That’s just my guess.

      Reply
    • There’s a fairly large chance there’s stuff hidden under the clouds. If locations are closely related to plot (as I’d imagine the tree would be) it makes sense to hide them.

  14. i think the first gym is in the city next to route 3 (houses with green roofs), because when he sits on the bench you can see a gym symbol.

  15. Diagonal walking confirmed. No more 4 directional walking.

    Also, between 0:13 and 0:17, you can clearly see camera movement. Confirmed free camera movement? If so, with the D-pad or CCPro?
