The Pokémon seen in the CoroCoro leaks earlier this week have now been revealed officially in English along with a brand new Pokemon X & Y gameplay trailer!
New Pokémon
- Litleo – The hot-blooded Litleo is always ready for a good fight! Its mane blazes with heat during battle, burning hotter and hotter the stronger its opponent.
- Flabébé – Clings to a flower early on, and then cares for it for its entire life. Because of this, Flabébé may be found holding flowers of different colors.
- Scatterbug – The Bug-type Scatterbug resides mostly in forests and wild plains. After Scatterbug has reached a high enough level, it will evolve into Spewpa.
- Spewpa – The middle Pokémon of its evolutionary chain. With enough experience gained from battle, Spewpa will eventually evolve into Vivillon.
New Characters
- Shauna – An energetic girl who is eager to discover her own dreams. But she’s also genuinely curious about her friends’ progress in their travels
- Tierno – He is burly and nimble, and his goal is to create a dance team with his Pokémon! He pays close attention to Pokémon when they battle to see he if he can incorporate their actions into new dance moves.
- Trevor – His goal is to be the first of the group to complete his Pokédex. He’s a great student, bursting with curiosity, but he admits that he has much to learn to become a great Trainer.
- Serena / Calem – Your next-door neighbor in Vaniville will set out on a journey just like everyone else, with the goal of becoming a powerful Pokémon Trainer. If your character is a boy, your neighbor will be Serena. If you play as a girl, Calem will be your neighbor.
New Gym Leaders
- Viola – Gym Leader of Santalune City, but battling isn’t her only talent. She’s also a professional Pokémon photographer.
New Cities
- Vaniville Town – Your new home at the beginning of your adventure! The start of your journey waits just past the ornate town gates. Before leaving, your neighbor will be eager to meet you. Plus, you’ll meet the family Rhyhorn, who’s resting on its pad in your front yard!
- Santalune City – After leaving Vaniville Town, the first populated location you’ll visit is Santalune City. It’s a lovely city, easily identifiable by the large fountain at the center of town. It’s also home to the Santalune City Gym!

I love Litleo’s design, name, typing, and likely basis (scorpion tale thing). It’s a must use for me, also because it reminds me of a Fakemon I made. It’s Normal/Ground

Fulfilling Horoscope, now we have Capricorn and Leo.
Who are the others, and how many do we have?
There are 12 horoscope signs and corresponding animals/objects for them. Now we have proper(we’ll see in the future what it will turn out) lion and goat pokemon. We had some replicas before for them.
Now that I think about it, we actually have about 8 of them. We only need 4 more: Pisces, Aquarius, Libra, and Aries (Mareep Male line)?
Taurus- Taurus
Gemini- Plusle & Minum
Leo- Litleo
Cancer- Krabby and Kingler
Scorpio- Drapion
Capricorn- Gogoat
Virgo- Gardevoir
Sagittarius- Rapidash
Pisces- Basculin as they’re two fish in one Pokemon
Aries-Flaaffy
Sagittarius should be an archer
Aquarius can be any humanoid water Pokemon
We have two gyms so far.
Official:
Bug Gym- Santalune
?- Lumiose City (Official Gym Statue by the Iconic Tower)
Speculation:
Pink Statue in the far eastern part of Kalos- Fairy
One of the snowy towns and cities- Ice
City by the Stonehenge- Psychic
City with the big tree in the center- Dark/Fire/Ground/Flying
Blue Castle- Flying/Water
Seeing as the gym icon on the Eiffel tower structure was yellow, it’s pretty safe to say it’s an electric type gym. Another reason to back this up is the city’s name, Lumiose.
another electric type? we had one EVERY generation (except 2 but you go to kanto). I kinda hope it’s steel. :/
Why would a Steel gym have a yellow Gym logo?
In BW2, Marlon, Elesa, and Clay had yellow Gym logos.
EDIT: If you look closely at the trailer, the logo on the tower is YELLOW & GREY. So it must be a steel type gym.
Marlon – Yellow & Blue
Elesa – Yellow and ?
Clay – Yellow & Red/Brown
The color might indicate the type. In this case, grey = steel?
yeah i know…just wishful thinking i guess lol
They may introduce the Light-type, also, which could be the gym type for Lumiose City, considering the name “Lumiose” and “Santalune,” along with the Kalos region’s inspiration on France, as well as France being very popular for “lighting effects,” if you know what I mean by that. Gen 2 introduced 2 new types, so there is a chance that 4 generations later, this may happen again, considering the fact that the only time a new type was revealed in the past was in Generation 2, but two new types were revealed, not 1.
Dark and Steel were revealed at the same time 14 years ago, if we get another type, then GF are planning to keep it sealed up until just before the games release perhaps.
I agree, but how possible do you think is this?
I don’t know if anyone mentioned this but the pokemon site says war cry lowers attack AND special attack.
Good to know it’s not a rehash of Growl.
Thanks for the info. Here’s a cyber-cookie. Enjoy! 😀
Am I the only one thinking about how Tierno might have came from Unova, so that’s why he wears Vanillite shirt, and also wants to make a dance team? (Pokémon Musical)
Did you not spot the Poketch on his wrist? He’s from Sinnoh. Trevor has a Pokegear so he may be from Johto.
It could be an xtrancever
Just because he wears a watch does not mean its a poketch. Also I’m pretty sure thats not a pokegear trevor has. In fact none of the items look anything like what you half of you guys are claiming they are. For right now its not confirmed what these items are. I could just be a regular watch Tierno has. That thing Trevor has doesn’t look like a pokegear at all it may be a similar item or it could just be a PDA or camera. I don’t mind specualtion but dont be quick to say things like Tierno is from sinnoh just because he’s wearing a watch. For all we know there accesorries aren’t even anything relevant.
Well if you think about it, Diamond and Pearl are 5 years old now, don’t you think the Poketch would have been redeveloped and redesigned by now? Same goes for the devices from other regions.
Yeah they could have been redesigned or redeveloped but I’m just saying don’t instantly label things when its not confirmed. Like the whole watch thing. Just because its a watch and Tierno is a pokemon dancer/trainer doesn’t necessarily mean its a poketch. It could be a a regular watch that can just tell time or a brand new watch device all together. My point is don’t instantly label something we have know idea about. You can freely speculate what you think these devices are just don’t act like they are confirmed things. Am i making any sense? I’m trying my best.
I’m really liking the look of that Gym, has a greenhouse effect which would make sense seeing as it’s the Bug gym.
first Benches now chairs i can sit anywhere!!!! 😀
Awesome rhyme. lol
There was a rhyme in there!? :O
Lol, yeah.
“First benches, now chairs.
I can sit anywhere!”
Chairs and anywhere rhyme. Right?
Chair. Where.
(• ε •)’
lol i read it a few times after i didn’t even notice! XD
Tierno: ‘Nice to meetcha!’
Me: The feeling is not mutual.
Trevor: ‘Let’s compare our coastal Kalos pokedex-!’
Me: Yeah, let’s not.
Teirno: ‘Even during pokemon battles I’m always checkin’ out their moves!’
Me: So you’re the pokemon pervert Officer Jenny warned me about.
Shauna: ‘What are you all going to do?’
Me: I’m getting as far away from you dweebs as possible, even if it means lassoing the nearest Noivern and hitching a ride to Sinnoh.
LOL
Aren’t YOU a bit of an introvert? 😛
More of a misanthrope, really.
🙂
Not gonna lie, I Google’d that word. Lol
Today I Learned: Misanthrope, A person who dislikes humankind and avoids human society.
Thank you for the learnings. :3
PLOT TWIST: Tierno, Trevor, Shauna, Viola and your rival are the elite four/ champion
A Gym Leader becoming an Elite in the same Gen? Pretty interesting.
Litleo will probably evolve into a big mono-fire type Lion with a fiery mane. It is the new gen dog/beast (see Growlithe, Houndour, Electrike, Shinx, & Lillipup).
I believe Vanillite will become Ice/Fairy type. Given due to the praise of it in the Kalos region.
Not sure if you paid attention to it’s tail in detail. It ties in with a Manticore which is a sort of lion hybrid with wings (Not all the time) Take a look here and see the resemblance in the tail. I bet the final evolution will be something like this perhaps.
I don’t think GF would include the wings. Fans would be raging about it not being a Flying-type because they are never content with what they get. Otherwise, I can definitely see Litleo’s line going in that direction. Maybe that secondary Normal-type is being reserved for it to gain Poison upon evolution.
Not all Manticores have wings so I think it would be something like this.
Yiiiiiis. Gimme dat. Plz, gimme dat, Game Freak.
Fire/Poison-type Manticore Pokémon, NAOW!!
>:U
xD
But… But, Litleo’s a lion cub. It goes “meow, meow, purr.” Not “bark, bark, woof.”
Dont you think Tierno will have a Vanillite on his team and Shauna will have a Gothitelle?
Based on their shirts 😉
I would love that. It would be pretty awesome to see them use they’re favorite Pokémon as their mains in battle.
Not every has to select a usual starter Pokémon to start a journey.
Am I the only one wondering how riding a Rhyhorn won’t hurt the rider? That thing on its back seems quite painful. :/
Imagine riding a Camerupt.
I’m a bit confused. Are the player character’s names Yvonne and Xavier or Calem and Serena?
Yvonne and Xavier are the preset names you can change if you choose to play as that character and Serena and Calem are the names they take if they are your rival
That’s confusing. In previous generations haven’t the preset names and the names of the player you don’t pick usually been one and the same? It seems weird to have 2 for each.
In both screenshots and the trailer the protagonist you don’t choose appears to look a bit different. Because customization is a new feature this generation, I’m guessing the rival is a, somewhat, new character, meant to showcase the new feature a bit. Hence the new name given.
That’s my theory. Makes sense, dont’cha think?
If you look at Spewpas “confetti” colors in the original art vs. in the game you can see they’re different. Maybe you could have virillons with different colored patterns? 🙂
Hence, the curly hair. LOL.
By the way, are the VS sprites not returning? Seems like they’re going to use official art as VS sprites. That shucks.
So there are 5 kids and 3 starters. I think 2 of them are gonna start with a pokemon that they raised as a pet. It’s either that or there are 2 sets or kalos starters. Maybe something different. Also I’m gonna love battleing these guys. Even with their different goals they still have reasons to battle the player character. With Shauna she’s trying to figure out what she wants to discover her own dreams. By battling her she can deceide whether she wants to be a pokemon breeder, a professor’s assistant etc. Tierno will try to incorporates a pokemon moves in battles into dancing so that works for him. With Trevor wanting to complete the pokedex first he’s probably going to battle everything he can so he can find the pokemon location and catch so he can battle you for that plus he knows he must improve as a trainer. And Calem/Serena wants to be a strong pokemon trainer like the player character. Plenty of reasons to battle all of them right here. I hope we can, in fact I expect us to.
so did anyone notice that war cry sounded a lot like a lion cub roar? Aka litleo? What if moves like growl and war cry sound different according to the pokemon using it?
I hope they incorporate this into the games. It would add more flavor to spice up the battle for a wonderfully delectable experience!
Sorry to go all Cilan on ya, dude.

if you hear litleos cry IT IS THE SAME AS THE WAR CRY NOISE 😀
My theory–
Light-type Eeveelution is revealed, super effective against Fairy
There will be a Dark Type gym
Light, Fairy and Celestial types are all new, Celestial type does not get an Eeveelution yet
Kalos is split into three smaller regions, Coastal Kalos, Mountain Kalos and Mainland Kalos
There are three legendaries for each section, a symbol of the coast-lands (oceans), a symbol of the mountain-lands, and a symbol of the mainlands.
There are two pairs of starters for X/Y– one for each of the three new types and Froakie, Fennekin and Chespin, and you will have another rival as well to match up this type sequence
This is the final time in the Pokemon Series that Kanto will be gone to, as you go there post-game to get your choice of Charmander, Squirtle or Bulbasaur from Prof. Sycamore, and you can challenge the renovated gyms there, with new gym leaders, E4, layouts, and a postgame in Kanto as well. New Pokemon are revealed for Kanto as well.
Xerneas= Celestial/Fairy
Yveltal= Flying/Psychic
Other New Pokemon: Light/Water
Why would there be two more types that all sound exactly like Fairy?
Why not?
it is stated that Players may see different Flabébé holding flowers of different colors when encountering them in the wild. i think that there will be three different types one for each area Coastal Kalos, Mountain Kalos and Central Kalos
Maybe Helioptile and Litleo are counterparts…
It’s possible, but Helioptile’s primary typing is Electric where as Litleo’s is Normal. It would make sense for it to be Normal/Electric and Normla/Fire or vice versa if they we’re counterparts.
No Litleo is Fire/Normal
So you know that Gogoat and Helioptile appear in the Anime on July 18th right? Guess who else is in that episode.
Noizoid! (Harmoknight reference)
Gotta admit, it does look damn impressive.
Oh HELL yes. I like me some Noivern.
Full list of old Poke’s that get new typing:
Cleffa/Clefairy/Clefable (Normal/Fairy)
Igglybuff/Jiggypuff/Wigglytuff (Normal/Fairy)
Mewtwo-New Form (Psychic/Fairy)
Happiny/Chansey/Blissey (Normal/Fairy)
Togepi (Normal/Fairy)
Togetic/Togekiss (Flying/Fairy)
Azurill (Normal/Fairy)
Marill, Azurill (Water/Fairy)
Snubbull/Granbull (Normal/Fairy)
Mincinno Line (Normal/Fairy)
Vanillite Line (Ice/Fairy)
Skitty/Delcatty (Normal/Fairy)
Mawile (Steel/Fairy)
Plusle/Minun (Electric/Fairy)
Phione/Manaphy (Water/Fairy)
Audino (Normal/Fairy)
Cottonee/Whimsicott (Grass/Fairy)
Gardevoir (Psychic/Fairy)
Volbeat/Illumise (Bug/Fairy)
Milotic (Water/Fairy)
Luvdisc (Water/Fairy)
Gothitelle Line (Psychic/Fairy)
If ya don’t mind, where’s your source?
Normal/Fairy is the new norm then.
Whimsicott is more related to flying type but it is gaining fairy type. It’s logical but I would like it to stay pure Grass.
Well, kinda doubt the list is official.
Hmm. How about Whimsicott staying a pure Grass-type, but learning Fairy-type moves? No STAB, though. :/
Yes, it seems like a made-up list but it’s not so random, so some of them may actually turn out to be true.
The fact that Jirachi isn’t up there is a sign that this isn’t official.
List seems Plausible. Jirachi is already Steel/Psychic, they wouldn’t tamper with that.
I just wish Dunspace got a Fairy typing. Unless it gets a fairy evolution
Didn’t think of that x’D But, I wouldn’t put it past them to change the types of dual typed pokemon. I don’t get why Jirachi is part Steel when it only learns one steel move.

Mfw Sasha, Tierno, Trevor, Calem and Serena become the Pokemon Power Rangers and fight evil across the Kalos Region.
I bet Fletchling’s 2nd evo will look a little something like in the picture. The crest on it’s head starts to develop and the res spots start to brand onto it’s fur.
Talonflame doesn’t seem like a 2nd stage but it reminded me of part of Typhlosion’s dex entry “It can rub its blazing fur together to cause huge, devastating explosive blasts that are also capable of burning anything to cinders”
What if those red spot’s on Talonflame have a similar effect?
