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!
English name: GoGoat I officially love this game already! ^(^o^)^
C’mon PokéBeach just release your rumors already…that admin is a douche.
Dude, chill. If WPM doesn’t want to release everything all at once, then don’t get on his case about it.
Why she he release rumors that everyone attacked him for in the first place. A lot of people called him out for releasing to them an obviously fake rumor and bashed him for being so simple minded about it.
But when it turns out his source was right, you wanna get on his case and insult him about not releasing rumors no one believed? Lol
I have a some theories:
1. What if the storyline has to do with energy? If you look at the desert part of Kalos, you see 5 different types of buildings. After taking a closer look, one of the types has a pit of lava under it (geothermal), another type looks like wind turbines, and another one looks like steam is coming out of it (possibly nuclear energy?). Going East, (past Lumiose city) we see a little town that has a “crystal windmill”, another form of wind energy. Going a little South East, we see another town (with some weird purple structure to the left of it), whose buildings look as if they have solar panels (solar energy).
2. Throughout the map there seems to be oddly colored bushes (purple, pink, and yellow); What could these mean?
3. If you look at the “ice mountain” and go down, you can see a castle. Could this be the Elite Four?
4. If you look north of Lumiose city, we see a town surrounded by mountains (presumably), which I believe to be the starting town. It looks like the starting town from Gen IV and V, and there appears to be the lab to the north of it. Also there is a tree behind a house, and on it there seems to be a clock (?).
5. In the lower right hand part of Kalos, there appears to be a Coliseum looking structure. What could it be?
6. In the Southernmost part of the map, we see some more mountains, which are covered by clouds. If anyone remembers the Orre region (from XD/Coliseum), there were some mountains/hilly desert to the north, which could be the same mountains in south Kalos. Just a wild speculation c:
7. Lastly (I know its a lot!), does anyone see the tree Xerneas was standing under? Maybe its shrouded in one of the forests, or is that tree looking structure in Southeast Kalos.
Heres a guide of what im talking about on the map: http://imgur.com/w5sl0EH
-TheNintendoChip
Oddly coloured bushes may be flower fields.
1. Very plausible theory.
2. Probally just different colored flowers.
3. I can it happening but I’m not 100% certain.
4. I think the beginng town is the town near point 6
5. I want to say the aftergame battle place ie. Battle Fronteir, PWT, Battle subway but again I’m 100% certain
6. Idk but if anything the Unova Region will be most likely to be connected to kalos
7. Doubt it, the place where you catch the Legendaries will most likely be covered by clouds.
or maybe the elite 4 is in the northwest part, near the stonehenge-thing
Has anyone mentioned the fact that there’s a cave going into the mountain in the top right corner, but that there’s only one noticeable entrance? There also seems to be a giant forest being covered by clouds behind it.
probably where Xeneas is??
Wait, wait wait. So we can actually customize our characters later on in the game?
yup yup
This is… Interesting…
Or possibly another player character with a different outfit… co-op?
I was just thinking about that image. Could there be a co-op mode? also I think the other girl above the male trainer is a customized female trainer because the place where she is standing doesn’t make any sense if she’s an npc.
Maybe she’s there because you’ll have a double battle with her and the Lass…I don’t really know.
Uh…A Double Battle, maybe? Although she was seen following the male trainer in the first trailer…
Based on what we’ve now, we can see that there’s a forest shortly after the beginning, and there’s a gym in the city with the Roselia fountain. Hence, the first town is at the south-south-east, and we move upwards to a town similar to Cherrygrove in Johto and Oldale in Hoenn. Then we go pass the forest and reach the first gym.
Since this is based on France and all…
I would sure love to have a catacombs area to explore. 🙂
Well if you look on the left part of the land near that small blue village, you can tell that that region is actually part of France and next to that town is a cave entrance and on that same mountain are several other holes so maybe the do have a catacomb, or at least a crazy network of tunnels.
So, who’s excited for the new Fairy-type Gym we’ll be facing this coming October?
The Gym Leader will most likely main a Sylveon, showcasing a brand new move. Could it be the mystery move it used in its trailer?
Also, it’s pretty interesting that there seems to be a lot of stars in this new gen. A “reach for the stars” theme?
To start, the title for the Pokémon short, “Pikachu and Eevee Friends✰✰,” has two stars in it. We still haven’t figured out why.
The Pokémon X & Y trailer showed a gym with stars in the bakground and the move Wish, which could possibly change into a Fairy-type move. Then there’s the latest Pokémon movie trailer that shows Sylveon opening some Faye-magic portal into the skies, similarly as the Gym shown in the game trailer, revealing a galaxy of stars. Lastly, but certainly not least, the brand new Kalos region map! Its shape is that of a star as mentioned by the official Pokémon site, “The mysterious Kalos region is shaped intriguingly like a star.”

Possible Grass Gym ???
Either that or a fancy-ass Pokémon Center.
I’d go with Gym.
Oooooh it looks like a greenhouse! TOTALLY A GRASS GYM
NOOOOOOO!!! Grass-type Gym as the first gym?! Grass Gym has never gotten past the fourth gym T___T!! Grass-type Elite Four, where are you?!
By the way, it is speculated that Bug-type may the first gym, right?

If you look at the box art for Pokémon X version, you’ll notice that inside the “X” in the background behind Xernias is a forest; I think this more than likely hints at Xernias being a “Fairy” type. Also, looking at the box art of Pokémon Y version, inside the “Y” in the background behind Yveltal is the sky. Obviously, everyone knew Yveltal would at least be part flying type…but, this seems to lead to the logical conclusion that the backgrounds of X and Y both contain an environment related to each respective pokemon’s type.
Probably has nothing to do with type, well not for xerneas 🙂 its just a forest pokemon as in it resides there
X= Blue Color: SAPPHIRE REMAKE CONFIRMED
y= Red Color: RUBY REMAKE CONFIRMED
I hope to God that you are not serious…
Fuck you.
I’d love to. Name a date and time.
finally they give the male hero some nice boots >-> instead of some running shoes. Boots are meant for exploring!!!!
If you pay close attention to the very first trailer we got, as well as this one, you’ll notice that you DO still move on a grid on places like Routes, etc. It seems that free movement is most likely restricted to only certain areas.
It wouldn’t surprise me if, during the trailers, they purposefully made the player move in just the grid direction because they wanted to keep the diagonal movement a secret… Cheeky Nintendo
If you look at the stonehenge-like structure in the center, from the aerial view it looks like it’s being held up by a humanoid figure (new pokemon?) formed by the maze park right underneath it. I wonder if there’s a story behind it?
nope, just houses.
Whoops my bad, I meant to point out the circular city in the middle of the region, didn’t realize it was actually a city and not stone structures. But yeah, underneath the city is a maze-like park shaped like a figure. That’s what I was referring to
Lol ooooh I totally see it now! Good eye! Yeah probably a new Pokemon shape or maybe just a golurk garden? Like the roselia fountain.
I find it very curious that they still haven’t revealed the “starter” PKMNs’ numbering yet (even in the press-release they all have ??? for their numbers) I wonder if we are getting some event PKMN like Victini, or even (alternate) starters for the three sections of the Pokedex…
I find it very curious and noteworthy that they have yet to reveal the numbering of the “Starter” PKMN, even after the recent press release. (All of the starters have “???” for their numbering.) This could mean we are getting (some) event PKMN liken to Victini, or even possibly (although less likely) alternate starter PKMN.
Check this out guys.
Land and sky clash? 🙂
PS: the Japanese site’s design is better than the English one XD
THEN I SAW THIS.
THE STRAND’S THE SAME STRAND FROM THE XY JAPANESE LOGO
What could that thing do?? We have the pokedex that tells us about the pokemon…could this be on a more personal level where you can get close with your pokemon?
I wonder if that desert area near Lumiose city is where we can hopefully get our fossil Pokemon. I’m personally excited to see the new ancient Pokemon.
I think that Chespin is grass/steel since it says something about it shell being able to harder(no jokes please)
Pokebeach updated the “leaking info.” post from the past saturday. because apparently WPM have a mistake at posting Chespin’s and Froakie’s final evolution types…the “true” types would be Grass/Dark and Water/Fighting…
Yes! Chespin, so adorable…yet dark type >:)
Still rumors, but I wouldn’t have a problem with that.
As a Trainer who tends to choose Grass-types… YES!!!
I’ve never really been a fan of Fighting-types… I’m a Psychic-lover~♥
Those types seem to make sense. I thought it was odd at first and thought it was possibly a typo. Froakie definetly didn’t look dark and I couldn’t see it becoming dark. Just hope dual types are not true
The first thing I noticed on the region map was the desert-y bit to the north west of Lumiose Town and I instantly though of renewable energy… which led me to think that the evil team has something to do with pollution/energy. Polluting the skies (Yveltal) or deforestation (Xerneas)… but it’s probably wrong…
The thing that’s got me stumped is the ‘star’ shaped region, it’s quite odd for a region to closely resemble a shape…unless I’m thinking too much into it (I wouldn’t have thought it’d be something to do with fairy unless the star represents fairy and the powers of Kalos have suddenly made a new type?)
Towards the west of the region you can see the Pokemon League, it’s like a castle with the victory road clearly in front.
I have a feeling this region will be stuck to Hoenn and we can visit it post-game
Similar to how original Gold and Silver first came out and u can visit Kanto
The Hoenn region was a huge island, so I doubt it will be “stuck” to it. I understand that everyone wants Ruby and Sapphire remakes (I think that was the best generation ever introduced by the way) but lets stop setting ourselves up for possible disappointment and just wait for official remake info if it ever happens.
Most likely and probably, th Kalos region would be connected to the Sinnoh region. It makes sense since both maps have large amounts of landmass.
So no Hoen region connection.
[Edit] but this is just anyone’s guess
Not trying to be rude, but I doubt gamefreak would make a region that represents France attach to region that represents an island of Japan. The fact that they take time to make regions that represent areas in our world makes me think that they wouldn’t just randomly connect them except by some sort of airplane travel.
Now like I said in a previous post, if we get a generation 7 (pokemon ain’t ending soon so of course we will) and the region is based off of Great Britain or Germany or Spain, then those should and will connect with this region.
Oh I know it’s totally fine!! Yeah I see your point.
But on the subject of gen 7. We should guess or bet how many Pokemon generations there will be!
I’ll simply say this; as long as Pokemon is making money…they will make more generations.
I feel that I can say with confidence that they will make at least 10 generations. I’ll also say that ever since Pokemon introduced the Steel and Dark types into the game, I always thought the Type Chart would grow to 20 types. Now if Fairy type is true (and it looks like it is) that would put us at 18 so I personally think we have 2 more types coming in the distant future. I’m a firm believer that we will get the Alien or Space typing down the road as we have a handful of pokemon that could fit the typing already. Now the other typing I think will come to make 20…anyone’s guess is good as long as it isn’t the silly idea of Sound type.
That is true. But if pokemon changes drastically the next couple of generations, they will loose many fans all at once. What I mean by drastically, is that they change the Pokemon’s look drastically, run out of ideas and try boosting the series with odd elements the franchise hasn’t seen.
But as long as Pokemon stays to its formula and hopefully in X and Y, appeal to older fans with a deeper story line then i say there will be 12 generations. There are literally many animals and dinosuars, and other creatures they can use for generations to come.
I’m excited to see this generations designs of pokemon and storyline.
