XY Do you think Fantina or Juan might be in X and Y (because they're French)?

[BayBeeBoi]

Hi guys, I was just thinking since Fantina from Pokemon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum was supposed to be a foreigner with a french accent and X and Y appears to be based off of Paris France. Do you think Fantina will play some kind of rule in X and Y?

 

[DorianBlack]

Anything's possible, I suppose. I think it's jumping to conclusions to assume the whole region is going to be based on Paris/France, though - remember the jungle vines and the desert that were also in the trailer? There's going to be a city based on Paris, for sure, just like Castelia was based on NYC, but as we saw with Gen V, that doesn't really affect what the rest of the region will look like or how it'll be laid out.

Lt. Surge was not in Unova, even though he was of American origin.

Fantina is only French in the English version and XY land isn't based in France, it's based in EUROPE.

How do you know that, we have only seen places that resemble places in France.

I think I saw Big Ben in a promo poster, so Europe is likely.
Last I checked, Big Ben is in England

The only moment say a Big Ben was in a fan-made trailer.

IDK if she'll show up, but it'll be nice if she does.

He was in the PWT

Maybe in small cameos, but that's about it.

Also, isn't Juan Spanish instead of French?

Lt. Surge was not Unova, even though he was of American origin.

Unova is not the only American region in the Pokemon world, there's at least one other region based on part of America (Orre, which is based on Arizona). And there will likely be more regions in future generations based on other parts of America (crossing my fingers for an eventual Baltimore/D.C. region), Lt. Surge could easily be from one of those regions.

Orre was more based off of Phoenix. Trust me...not all Arizona. I'm from Tucson, Arizona's 2nd largest city. I guess you could technically say Arizona but Phoenix is only one part. Tons of regions and cities besides Phoenix like my home city (which is more culturally/historically important than Phx) which would of been cool to feature or even Tombstone or Flagstaff.
