Tbh, I was really surprised with these news. I didn't really like the idea of moving on to a new region,since Zygarde's story is YET to be explained, and many things from 6th Gen needs to be solved. They can't just say "Well, **** Zygarde, **** it's concepts, and **** the entirety of 6th Gen as a whole." We did a TERRIBLE job on this Generation, and we just want to skip already into 7th Gen, forgetting ALL the nightmares that was 6th Gen WITHOUT ever trying to improve on it's mistakes." I can't see Zygarde's forms only anime-exclusive along with Ash-Greninja. Why show Zygarde's forms in the first place if we don't know HOW they work in the main games, and we STILL don't know how Zygarde takes care of the magical deer and killer bird in it's Perfect form. Zygarde is a very complex legendary that it's crazy to just leave it alone as one of the worst legendaries without a proper plot excluding the anime. And why hype Ash's starter so much from the anime than other times that while the form itself won't be in the games, because it's ASH-GRENINJA, the concept itself I can probably see making it's way into Sun and Moon
But now, I'm feeling optimistic about these games, and I hope they are truly the best main games ever created. I truly feel they are the gold and silver of 6th Gen, mainly because of the colors in sun and moon are the exact same colors as gold and silver's colors were. They can TRULY reflect the work Iwata did for Gold and Silver back then, as he was the only man who made it possible to go back to Kanto in the games. I can see why many people like HG/SS. And since 6th Gen reflects SO much on 1st Gen, and even though it's lacking a good story like 5th Gen successfully succeeded in, 6th Gen still remains to be my favorite Gen, and I would LOVE for it to be explored ever more. One thing to note is that Mega Evolution in general has a very cosmic theme, with all these meteorites and seemingly relate to the Anistar city sundial in a unique way, though we don't exactly know how. The map description of Anistar city states: "Some say the enigmatic device used as a sundial came from outer space."
In the Japanese logos for sun and moon, you could see a Poke ball in a form of a meteor, asteroid or comet. Could this mean this new region can have a Moondial, or the Southern part of Kalos will have a Moondial, and most importantly, will we go ever go to space for the VERY FIRST TIME to conclude the history of Mega evolution? A Hex Maniac in Anistar mentions that THERE ARE MOONDIALS TOO.
(You can correct me on this part) but looking at the chest mouth of Perfect Zygarde, it also has a orange and cyan/light blue hexagon, which correlates to the color logo of Sun and Moon. I'm not sure if that is purely an aesthetic design from transitioning from blue to red, but wouldn't it be interesting if Zygarde was the master of not only two legends, but two MORE legends who are sun and moon focused? Both the Zygarde cores in the anime have been known to receive energy from the sun. Though it is unsure if they also do this from the moon, and nothing relates to the white hexagon in the chest yet, but it is sort of a neat fact.
Also in the Japanese logos, there is a light blue crystal in Sun, and an orange crystal in Moon. They have done this in the X/Y and OR/AS titles with the Mega evolution symbol and the Alpha/Omega symbol, which are the red and blue orbs for Primal Reversion. What could this be? Will this only pertain to legendaries, or will this be a new mechanic, like ME? Can this relate to the synchro concept demonstrated by Ash-Greninja in the anime? Interesting, indeed.
There is a lot of conjectural evidence showing we are not done in Kalos, like a literal train station in Coumarine that DOESN'T take you anywhere, as well as another train track in Kiloude Station.
I know there are people that don't like 6th Gen, they can hate it all they want to, they can hate Zygarde all they want but not EVERYONE hates the Gen. Some people, including myself, really like 6th Gen and really want to see it get expand.I still believe a Southern Kalos is still very possible.. and my attitude towards that has still not changed.. that "lexagone" concept could very well be in place, and it would make perfect sense for Zygarde to represent it's region like a monarchial role
During its history, France has experienced a lot of different names. Examples: "The country of Molière", "The homeland of human rights" or "The eldest daughter of the Church". All these have particular reference to history. But the most often used as a synonym name of France is still "hex". Where does it come from? With Cartesian imagination, looking at the map of France, one can see 6 projecting points. It is from there that use comes fairly old, as the metropolitan France resembles a geometric figure, a hexagon. However, before the appearance of anti-patriotic song Renaud: "Hexagon", there were only a few political parties and institutions who used the hexagonal logo representing the shape of France. Today, the French Republic is often called this way by all people, be it: the hexagon, hexagonal or other France. But, this is only valid if one takes France within the meaning metropolis, because we must not forget that it also has a large number of remote and widely scattered territories worldwide (Guadeloupe, West Indies, etc.)
The Sun and the Moon are the alchemical symbols for the gold and silver", so yeah, I expect a two-region game, (Spain,Hawaii,Singapore?) + France. That'd also explain why they needed more time for the development.
The Couriway town's map description states "The railway brings people from great distances to see the huge, majestic falls." And the town itself is "A town connecting differences." So I can really see the connection with Kalos and the other region possible, knowing that nobody uses that train track,and Kalos had been at war with neighboring regions
So basically making it both the X/Y sequels as well as a new gen. New region & new Pokémon, but Team Flare returns as the villainous team & Kalos is available in the post-game, with the new region being inspired by Spain(or something else) & accessible via the train in Couriway Town. Zygarde would also be a huge focus in the plot, & that could explain the XY&Z anime.
