Possible Pokemon Sun and Moon Mascost Leaked Through Trademarks

Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Also Magearna is an Italian sounding name too, plus in the movie its creator seems to resemble Da Vinci.
But then again Black and White took place in New York and its mascots were Yin-Yang Dragons

Cool names.
I've heard Spain and Hawaii but China is a first
Hawaii would be the GOAT.
What are you talking about, we got yin-yang out the wing-wang here.
Now eat your hamburgers, Apollo.
Xerneas and Yveltal were not just a deer and a bird. They're both based on Norse mythology with Xerneas and Yveltal representing Eikþyrnir and Hræsvelgr respectivly. Furthermore, Zygarde is based on Jörmungandr.
Zapdos on the other hand is just an electric bird with no lore behind it. Even its Japanese name is generic as hell.
Might be thinking of Singapore. I'm pretty sure the only 'evidence' so far for anything is:
Spain - the fact Southern Kalos is mentioned in XY, so we're assuming it means Spain, and now the Spanish in the legendary names. All of this could work for Italy I guess too.
Hawaii - Rainbow licence plates, the fire truck is yellow like Hawaiian ones, the palm trees near the hotel in one shot, the in progress Pokemon appears similar to a bird that lives in Hawaii apparently
Singapore - the aforementioned hotel appears to be based on one in Singapore.
Nothing particularly convincing there.

I don't really think you could call it Gen "6.5" in that regard. That'd be like calling Gen 2 "1.5".
If it's a new region that happens to be right next to the old one with all new Pokemon, it's a new Gen.

What's wrong with Lions?
Zapdos is based of the Lakota tribe (and many other Indigenous American tribes) folklore of the thunderbird, the spiritual embodiment of thunder and rainstorms.

I really hope they are lions...but they probably won't be.
First thing I thought of:
Came here for this, was not dissapointed.

Hmmm, all this talk about Sun Lions made me think of this

Both!
I mean, they're Beasts, but the cliche of going from sun to lion is pretty boring and safe.

Both sound close to spanish, maybe the new region is based in Spain? (wich limits with France, giving a chance to revisit kalos)

Hope Lunaala is an owl legendary. Would be awesome.
Doubt the sun lion will be cooler then Arcanine. And we already have a fire lion.

I kinda agree with this. I'm tired of villian team X capturing the cover mascot and using its powers for evil. Xerneas and Yveltal felt so shoehorned into Team Flare's plans it's not even funny.
They should have kept the announce for the E3 or whatever if they go on blackout until the next CoroCoro, which is coming in a month.
Yep but the Kalos we visited was only Northern France, so they'd have to do the whole Spain + the whole Southern France, which must be as big as the North even in the Pokémon world. Maybe if they do Sun and Moon 2?

The interesting thing is that these trademarks weren't registered by the usual trio of Game Freak, Nintendo & Creatures Inc., but rather "Yusuke Inui"
It's giving me pause.
The only recent trademark by Game Freak is ギガレキ, which is just by Game Freak alone, not by all three.
I'm suspicious, but these discrepancies are making me not post them

Entei, Litleo line, and partly the Growlithe and Shinx lines.
By the way, I wouldn't read too much on the names as far as the region goes. Legendaries (and particularly the mascots) can draw from mythologies completely unrelated to the region's base and usually combine elements from numerous sources. For example, Unova is based on New York / USA, but Reshiram and Zekrom combine the concept of Yin and Yang with essentially Celtic Dragon lore. Likewise, the Hoenn mascots take elements from Hebrew mythology in spite of Hoenn being based on Kyushu, Japan. And more recently, you have the France-based Kalos using mascots based on Norse mythology.

Have people seen the potential starter names that have been similarly registered?

What if these aren't Pokemon, but ARE places? Like the names of islands and the games have completely different world maps with part of the plot dealing with the building of a bridge between the two that has awakened two very different legendary Pokemon with epic consequences? Just wondering...

They always have the names of all legendaries be the same in all regions though. It's usually the pronunciation that is different (Rayquaza vs. Ray"kuu"za or Arkeus vs. Arceus, former because of Japanese pronunciations (see triceratops becoming "trikeratops") and latter because English being weird).

I need to see the designs to decide, if they're like zekrom and reshiram then neither.
