English names of four Pokémon and NPCs revealed
|
The English names of the four Pokémon and the new NPCs shown in CoroCoro have been revealed.
In English, Shishiko is called Litleo. Litleo has a red mane that burns hotter when battling strong opponents. It can learn the new Normal-type move Noble Roar (known as War Cry in Japanese), which lowers the target's Attack.
In English, Furabebe is known as Flabébé. When a Flabébé is born, it chooses a flower which it lives on and takes care of for the rest of its life. Wild Flabébé will hold different colors of flower. Flabébé can draw power from its flower to use in battle.
While it was known that Spewpa was the English name of either Kofūrai or Kofukimushi due to the Spanish and Italian versions of Pokémon.com, it has been revealed that Kofūrai is known as Spewpa in English, while Kofukimushi is known as Scatterbug. Scatterbug can learn String Shot, while Spewpa can learn Protect. Spewpa can protect itself from weak attacks with its thick fur.
The player's hometown, Asame Town, is known as Vaniville Town in English. From here, the player and their four friends set off on their journey, starting with Santalune Forest.
Sana is known as Shauna in English. She is friendly, outgoing and energetic, and is looking to find her own dream. She is very interested in everything the player finds on his or her journey. She forces the player to pick a nickname early in the game.
Tieruno is known as Tierno in English. He is strong and kind, but easily distracted during battle because he tries to incorporate dance moves. He is a dancer who is light on his feet, and wants to create a dance team with his Pokémon.
Toroba is known as Trevor in English. He is a good and curious student, but he is very competitive and wants to be the first of the group to complete the Pokédex.
Serena or Calem (the opposite gendered player character) lives next door to the player in Vaniville Town. He or she sets off on a journey to become a powerful Pokémon Trainer.
Hakudan City is known as Santalune City in English, and is known for its large fountain and park benches. It contains the first Gym, led by Viola (whose name is the same as in Japanese). The Santalune City Gym's interior is made from spiderweb-like threads over a dark pit; they serve as the Gym's puzzle. Viola is a professional photographer, and will give the player advice when they battle.
Pansy is known as Alexa in English, and is Viola's older sister. She works as a journalist for a publishing house in Lumiose City.

Meet Santalune City Gym Leader Viola The first Gym Leader players will encounter on their adventure is Viola, the Gym Leader of Santalune City, a pleasant city that is known for its large fountain and park benches.

Alexa insists that her sister will be happy to meet players visiting Santalune City. A professional photographer who specializes in Pokémon photography, Viola presides over the Santalune City Gym, whose interior is constructed from threads like spiderwebs, strung together tightly above the darkness. Players will need to find a safe path through these threads, and will receive useful advice from Viola when they battle her. More never-before-seen Pokémon that players will encounter in the Kalos region have been announced this morning. You can check them out in battle at the official Pokémon YouTube page.
