Summary
- The Game Freak hack has revealed that South Kalos did exist during Pokemon X/Y's development.
- For whatever reason, it was scrapped. But fans have long theorised its existence.
- Such speculation was stirred up again two years ago with Scarlet and Violet, as many believed that Paldea connected to South Kalos, which these leaks also appear to confirm.
After ten years of speculating, the recent 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Game Freak hack finally confirmed that South Kalos did exist during Pokemon X/Y's development, but was ultimatel🌠y scrapped before release.
For context, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kalos is based on France, and comparing the fictional and real-world maps, Pokemon X/Y appeared to be missing an expanse of sou🦄thern land. Th✅is sparked debate that perhaps we'd visit South Kalos in a future exansion or game, spurred on by some interesting revelations about the Kalos War.
What Next For Nintendo After The Pokemon L▨eaks?
Nintendo has previously resorted to legal 🌠retribution in cases like this, and Pokemon feels l🐼ike the biggest leak yet.
Speaking to Game Informer in 2014 (as broken down in this impressively detailed post),✤ director Junichi Masuꦆda said that "The war was a clash between two different countries." We know that it was fought between AZ and his brother, who had formed his own state, and it has long been speculated that he did so in the theorised South Kalos.
This lends especially well to the𓆏 French inspirations as southern and northern France have a long history of feuding, assaults, and even💯 crusades.
The South Kalos Leaks Appear To Confirm The Paldea Theories
Speculation about a theoretical South Kalos stirred up again two years ago when 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Scarlet and Violet launched, as many theorised that Paldea — 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:inspired by Spain —💝 connected to South Kalos, much as Spain does to southern France.
Just like in the real world, the Paldea map has a border in the north east, but the problem was that the Kalos map we know from P💫okemon X/Y didn't fit. However, looking at the leaked 🐭South Kalos map, the two connect perfectly, seemingly confirming yet another fan theory.
In short, the leaks confirm that fans were right — there is a South Kalos after all. And yes, it does appear to c🐎onnect to Paldea, much as Johto connected to Kanto. Whether we'll ever𓂃 actually see South Kalos for ourselves is another question entirely.
