Pokkén Tournament takes place in the Ferrum region. The name itself has some cool trivia behind it - ferrum is Latin for iron and is a reference to Tekken which means iron fist in Japanese!
Locations known so far:
Chrom Town - A town in a lush, green valley in the mountains. Ferrum battles have long been held in the town's plaza.
Phos Volcano - An arena located in a cave in a giant volcano. In addition to deposits of rare ores, it also contains the ruins of an ancient civilisation.
Blue Dome - The ruins of an ancient city said to have sunk to the bottom of the sea long ago. It is now housed in an underwater dome and serves as a battle arena.
Old Ferrum Town - A historic old town, known as the "City of Water," with a nostalgic atmosphere. It features many famous landmarks, such as a large park, an arched gate and a clock tower.
Ferrum Stadium - A stadium where the final match of the Ferrum Battle is held. Located near a sacred lake in the forest, this arena is always filled with enthusiastic spectators.
Neos City - The largest city in the Ferrum Region. Its infrastructure has been designed to facilitate the co-existence between Pokémon and humans.
Haunted House - An abandoned, old mansion. Ghost-type Pokémon like this place so much that they have made it their home.
Regi Ruins - Ancient ruins in a desert. Wall paintings and numerous Unown letters have been found here, making it an extremely important location for historical research.
Diggersby Land - A tourist facility with the Digging Pokémon Diggersby as its theme. It is made up of three areas: Futuristic, Classic and Fantasy.
Ferrum Dojo - The venerable Ferrum Dojo, host to daily training and official tournaments alike. Holy ground to Battle Pokémon and trainers seeking to improve themselves.
Training Gym - A specialty gym for Ferrum Battles, with training programs for speed, power, and more to match your Pokémon's battle style.
Old Ferrum Town (Winter) - A historic old town now blanketed in soft, white snow. Its winter scenery and yearly snow-sculpture contest attract many visitors.
Chrom Town (Autumn) - A quaint, nature-abundant mountain village painted in rich fall colors. Here you can find Deerling and Sawsbuck in their Autumn Form.
Dragon's Nest - A solemn arena marked by a statue of the legendary Pokémon of the skies, Rayquaza. Sitting at the top of a treacherous mountain peak, the arena is known to exist by few.
Magikarp Festival - A hook-and-line Magikarp fishing boat with a great catch sailing under the cloudless skies. Hariyama stands out on the bow waving a flag to celebrate the bountiful catch.
Also, due to the effects of mysterious stones called Synergy Stones, humans and Pokémon are connected in the world of the Ferrum region. Battles are called Ferrum Battles and it isn't the Pokémon's type match-ups or levels that are tested but the strength of the Synergy between the player and their Pokémon!
It seems as though a lot of thought has gone into making this region and it's history and mechanics, they could so easily have just focused on battling in a generic stadium.
I don't know if all these places are interactive, mini games perhaps? but I sure can't wait to start exploring!
What are your initial thoughts on the Ferrum region?
