As we speculated when the first trailer was released in the Rewind Theatre embedded below, it is indeed set in an alternative version of France. The scans - courtesy of Serebii - reveal that the name of the new region is called Karos, and Miare City is its version of Paris.It confirms that you'll be able to customise your trainer slightly in details like hair and skin colour after selecting one of a few templates. One screenshot also shows a trainer actually riding a Pokemon - Gogoat, a grass type who looks like a curvy-horned ram with a leafy feather boa draped around his shoulders.Three other new Pokemon are also shown: teensy little bird Pokemon Yayakoma, Erikiteru the floppy-eared lizard thing (electric/normal type), and Yancham the stompy little panda-dude (fighting-type Naughty Pokemon). They're super cute. Check out the scans.Pokemon X and Y will be out before the end of the year and we're likely to see much more of it at E3.
