Say the name aloud while over a toilet.

No way.

...sorry! I mean, we have this Orange Islands chick who used to be Brock's love interest. She is an anime exclusive as far as I know.

Back to Gen. VI. Professor Pine is an option, as the Swiss Pine is apparently a common tree in France. In fact, I'm going to say this is as good as money in the bank. My call is Pine.


Nope. Here's a list (Gym locations italicized):

- Littleroot Town
- Oldale Town
- Petalburg City
- Rustboro City
- Dewford Town
- Slateport City
- Mauville City
- Verdanturf Town
- Fallarbor Town
- Lavaridge Town
- Fortree City
- Lilycove City
- Mossdeep City
- Sootopolis City
- Pacifidlog Town
- Ever Grande City

I defy you to find a name based on a colour.

Cyclone

Hoenn doesn't really look like it has a defined theme, but Slate, Lilly, Moss, Mauve, and Rust are all special name colors. Generally paired with a common named color for specific representation with exception to mauve which is pale Lavender/Lillac (look colors named after flowers XD)

Rust Red/Rust Orange/Rust Brown
Lilly White, Lilly Pink
Moss Green, Moss brown
Slate Gray.

A lot of defining characteristics can be used for colors.

[ilovejirachi123]

its not that the city itself is named after a color but the name has a color in it.

off topic but you know how the 5 gens region was baced on the U.S. well do you think any other regions are based off anywhere in the world. if not why this world?

this region will be based off Europe so why do you think they would star basing the game off of real places now?

The general assumption is that the X and Y region will be based off of France or more specifically Paris due to Pikachu thunder bolting the globe from the top of the Eiffel Tower and the Eiffel Tower replica seen in the game footage. However, I'm hoping other European influences are incorporated into the region as well.

So far every region we've had has been based off of an existing location. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Orre, and Sinnoh are each based off of different places in Japan. You can see that in the image below. And as you pointed out, Unova is based off of the US, or more specifically, New York.

Spoiler:

[BloodyRoyaltyandNarwhals]

I'm really excited for this game. Hopefully, the villainous team will follow in Team Plasma's footsteps and be really developed. I really don't find anything that bugs me except Froakie. I just really don't like frogs. Or frog Pokemon for that matter. :/

Yeah, you're right, that does have a childish sound to it. I also think any alliteration sounds strange also.

How about 'Kser-knee-ous' and 'Ih-vel-tahll?"

I'm reserving 'Maple' for my un-posted Fakemon project.

[zoroarkrules25]

I think mendel or swiss would work best here. If it is mendel maybe they are trying to make new berries to help trainers.

[vaporeon7]

Maybe they could be cross breeding berries and they could have come up with a Lum-Sitrus Berry combo that restores status and heals.

[Suicune™]

Speaking of Berries, please bring back Berry Trees.

I wonder how the berry trees will look like in 3D...

[Forever]

n lum-sitrus would be bad imo. I mean things like Exeggutor would love it but... I think the current berry system is muuuuuch easier. :x

[Suicune™]

Or Berry Pots like in HGSS, I had so much motivation to actually grow and collect Berries in those games.

[ilovejirachi123]

bring back the berry trees but please don't bring back those silly acorns. plus wouldn it be cool if they used them in a different way then healing and raising friendship statis. maybe it could be like an iorn or a HP UP [iron= defense going up HP UP= health going up]. also earlier in the conversation you guys were talking about a friendship bar well they could also raise that don't you think.

Nah, not Berry Pots. I'd like a Villa again where I can grow some pretty berries outside.

[11bayerf1]

I'm excited about the way in which competitive battling will go.
Considering there was such a huge powercreep in Black/white,
imagine some of the insanely powerful pokemon we'll find in this
game. Either that or they just make everything average again /shrug

So far apricorns have been only exclusive to GSC/HGSS. Unless they decide to bring it back in X and Y, we probably won't see them again. I would very much like to have berries and berry trees back again though. I didn't like how in Gen V, you could only plant and grow berries from the Dream World. That was a bit unfortunate in my opinion, especially for those who didn't go into the Dream World very often... or at all.

I liked Berry Pots for its quick and easy use. Plus it was always with you, so you never had to backtrack to obtain any berries you planted a few days before. However, it was limited unlike the numerous locations we could have planted berries outside in RSE and DPPt and while I wouldn't mind seeing it again, I'd rather they go back to the original roots in berry picking/growing. It's a lot more fun that way.

I like the idea of berry blending though! Or in other words, combining two berries to create a whole new type of berry with added effects. In a lesser way, it also goes along with the whole idea of genetics. It's already a thing in real life, so it could always be possible.

[vaporeon7]

I really want to see like a berry farm, that'd be awesome. And it goes with Nica's farm idea.

[Miss Doronjo]

Perhaps there will be new types of Fruit?

I did hear that grapes were quite common in France.

I'd like to see new berries based of common french fruit.

[Suicune™]

They could introduce Vineyards, they're commonly found in France.

New fruit is good as opposed to just berries. They can get very creative in regards to what fruit could improve/enhance for the Pokemon it's being given to, or maybe even the trainer just as a treat idek.

[PokémonShinySilver]

Hm... I would really like to see many new types of berries in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, and I would love to see them return as being able to grow them as trees.

Maybe your player's home might have a garden where you can grow berries as well? That would be so cool, considering that previous Pokémon games never had houses that had backyards.

[Suicune™]

I don't think they need to introduce any more Berries, what further use could they provide? We have PP boost, HP boost, Resistance against every type and more.

[Mujahid]

No one wants Apricorns ? I would LOVE some Apricorns. This is one thing they have barely touched since their inception.
