Revision as of 20:19, 6 July 2020
Kalos is the region in which Pokémon X and Y takes place. Like the Unova Region, it is based on a foreign place, New York City for Unova and France for Kalos. The Legendary Pokémon that the player will encounter in the post game are Articuno (if the player chose Chespin), Zapdos (if the player chose Fennekin), and Moltres (if the player chose Froakie), and for the game exclusive legendaries: Xerneas and Mewtwo with the Mewtwonite X enabling it to mega evolve into Mega Mewtwo X in Pokémon X, and Yveltal and Mewtwo with the Mewtwonite Y enabling it to mega evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y in Pokémon Y and the legendary for both games being Zygarde. In Pokémon the Series: XY, it is also the home of Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie. The Fairy-Type is introduced in this generation.
Cities and towns
Vaniville Town
Vaniville Town is where the hero/heroine moves in the start of the game. It is home to Shauna and Serena/Calem, the opposite gender of the character the player chooses.
Aquacorde Town
Aquacorde Town is where the hero/heroine meets all of their rivals and obtains their starter Pokémon as well as the Pokédex.
Santalune City
Santalune City is home to the Santalune City Gym and its Gym Leader, Viola, who specializes in Bug-type Pokémon.
Lumiose City
Lumiose City is the main city of Kalos.[1] It is home to Alexa, a journalist and Gym Leader Viola's elder sister. The gym is located exactly in the center of the city, inside the Prism Tower. It's also home to Trevor, another rival of the player, and it is also where Professor Sycamore's Lab is located. The Gym Leader, Clemont, specializes in Electric-types.
Cyllage City
Cyllage City is homage to the Rock-type Gym. The Gym Leader, Grant, specializes in Rock-type Pokémon. A Bicycle can also be obtained here.
Shalour City
Shalour City is hometown of Korrina and where the Tower of Mastery lies. This also marks the first battle with Calem/Serena. The Gym Leader, Korrina, specializes in Fighting-type Pokémon.
Coumarine City
Coumarine City is divided into two parts. First there is the coastal part where there are a couple of stands and a hotel. However, connected via monorail, is the cliff side part of Coumarine City. This is where Ramos, the grass-type gym leader, awaits. This is also the place where you find Tierno when you complete the game. Here, you can buy incenses for 9,600 Pokémoney.
Laverre City
Laverre City is a small city located at the north of Kalos. It is a very rustic city and features quaint homes that are built around a forest. In the middle is a ancient tree that is said to be 1,500 years old. This is where Valerie, the fairy-type gym leader awaits.
Anistar City
Anistar City is a city located east of Kalos. The city is next to the sea and since it is close to Snowbelle City, it is a cold city. It is home to Olympia the Psychic -type gym leader. It also has an ancient sundial made out of crystal, a symbol of the city.
Snowbelle City
Snowbelle City is the last city where a gym leader resides. Wulfric the Ice-type gym leader awaits. Located in southeast Kalos, the city is more or less covered in snow. According to the town map, its snowy condition originates from the local gym where ventilators were installed pumping cold air to maintain a 'icy look' thus affecting the city. South of the city, the entrance to the Winding Woods is there.
Places of Interest
Using the Kalos Map as evidence, certain areas can be identified, as they stand out.

Trivia
- Kalos comes from the Greek word Κάλλος (Kállos) meaning "beauty".
- Kalos, like Kanto and Unova, has the routes restart at 1.
- Kalos is meant to be based on France, although the creators also took inspiration from other parts of Europe. If one were to look at the top-left corner of the Kalos region, there is a town with a resemblance to Stonehenge, which is in England, mixed with the Carnac Stones, a group of rocks in France.
- Kalos is the second region to have all the fully evolved starters have a secondary type; the first being Sinnoh.
- Route 1 in Kalos is one of the shortest routes in the game.
- Additionally, it is the only route not to contain Pokémon.
- As the same in Kanto in Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen, the starter Pokémon dictates which legendary out of the possible three can be caught.
- Kalos has three Pokédexes: Central, Coastal, and Mountain.
