New Pokémon





They’re big, legendary, and have difficult-to-pronounce names.

Yesterday, Nintendo revealed that it will release Pokémon X and Pokémon Y for the 3DS handheld in the fall. Today, the company gave us a small scoop on the pair of Legendary Pokémon that appeared in the trailer for the new games.

Xerneas is the rainbow-antlered buck found in the woods at the end of the debut trailer. The name is pronounced as “ZURR-nee-us.”

The deer-like creature appears to take inspiration from the Forest Spirit from animator Hayao Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke movie.

This fowl emits a bright red light from its chest like those light-up shoes that kids wear.

Nintendo’s initial reveal for the sixth generation of Pokémon already gave fans a glimpse at the three new starter pocket monsters.

Chespin is a chipmunk-like grass-type, Fennekin is a fire-type fox, and Froakie is a blue, water-type frog.

I already know that I’m a Froakie man. How about you? Which starter are you going to choose to help you track down Xerneas and Yveltal?
