Junichi Masuda Message for the Pokémon Fans during the Japan Expo in France : youtube/watch?v=tUYEfV4Q6xg#at=22 Here is a capture for the Message of Masuda to the Fans during the French Japan Expo, we are sorry for the no audio of this message but here is a recapitulation : Masuda traveled to France in the past, in 2000, and in 2010. After the 2010 trip, he took his team and traveled all together to France, where he hired guides and met up with the localization team to help with the language barrier. With that trip, the team took ideas from the french environment and buildings to create the Kalos region. Masuda begins by talking about X and Y being the first Pokémon games to release globally at the same time, and how he’s excited behind the idea of battling and trading between players at the same time. It is then explained how the games take place in Kalos, which is inspired by France. As such, Masuda decided that the theme of the games is beauty. There’s a little mention of how France is known for it’s fashion and culinary sophistication. The names “Kalos” comes from the ancient Greek for beauty. Masuda then talks about his visits to France, as mentioned above. When visiting France, Masuda make sure to carry out research on specific areas, such as the Carnac Stones, something he couldn’t do at home in Japan. Lumiose City is also based on the centre of France: Paris! After this there’s not much information disclosed. Masuda discusses a little about how he was getting recognised in France by members of the localisation team, and a quick reveal of Monorpale (FR), or Hitotsuki (Jap.) in action using a new move, going on to say how he doesn’t want to reveal everything before the games release in October. - Sofiene :)
