Solgaleo could also be a broken reference to Galileo Galilei which was Italian and the names also work perfectly in Italian
Luna=Moon
Ala=Wing
Sole=Sun
But weren't there hints that the region was based on China?
In my eyes it's way more likely that it's Italy rather than Spain but weren't there hints that the region was based on China?
I've heard Spain and Hawaii but China is a first
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
??? Xerneas was a deer.... similar to those deer Legendary from Unova. Yveltal is a bird.... she's not even as special as Lugia or Zapdos. My main grips with X/Y was the story. Player customization was amazing.

This is what I am currently assuming, though perhaps it won't be the full region of Kalos in the post game.
Even though this will officially be Gen 7, I'm kind of considering it a Gen 6.5 in this regard. Gen 6/7 will work together like Gen 2 worked with 1.
Yrael post if you're okay
Zapdos is based of the Lakota tribe (and many other Indigenous American tribes) folklore of the thunderbird, the spiritual embodiment of thunder and rainstorms.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, Zigarde 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.
I really hope they are lions...but they probably won't be.
First thing I thought of:
Which one is a dolphin
The Lion thing would be pretty weak when we already had three legendary Dogs that basically look like cats.
Which one is a dolphin
Yes.You realize Nala is an actual name right? One that outside of the context of Lion King has nothing to do with the animal?
That reminds me; are there any lion Pokemon? I can't think of any...
lol
Litleo and Pyroar
Leo.
Nala.
Lions.
Thunderbolt and Lightning,
very very frightening me.
Solgaleo

The Sun doesn't give the light to the Moon assuming, the Moon's gonna owe it one.

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.I just miss the days when Legendaries were special.
And no. I'm not one of those guys that think Pokemon was at its best in the old days. Sometimes I just feel like.... the last good stories involving Legendaries were Giratina, Reshiram and Zekrom.
Both sound close to spanish, maybe the new region is based in Spain? (wich limits with France, giving a chance to revisit kalos)
That reminds me; are there any lion Pokemon? I can't think of any...
The first one will be a legendary Gelato Pokémon.
Good way of sticking it to all the Vanillish haters.
And here I thought some Final fantasy names were stupid.
Seriously, who names those pokemon?
