Nintendo has posted a press release indicating that cell phone apps like PokéCreator are becoming more prevalent and players of the Pokémon games should not use them. Nintendo also made it very clear that players who are caught using hacked Pokémon in official tournaments will be disqualified and banned from participation in future tournaments. It's unclear why Nintendo has finally decided to make a statement regarding save hacking as PokeSav and fake GTS servers have been around for years. The Pokémon Japanese VGC 2013 tournament was last week though and may have been the reason for the press release.

Vaniville Town!

Vaniville Town is the players new home at the beginning of their adventure! The start of the players journey waits just past the ornate town gates. Before leaving, the players neighbor will be eager to meet you. Plus, players will meet the family Rhyhorn, who's resting on its pad in their front yard!

Santalune City

After leaving Vaniville Town, the first populated location players will visit is Santalune City. It's a lovely city, easily identifiable by the large fountain at the center of town. It's also home to the Santalune City Gym! Keep an eye out for Alexa, who will guide you toward the Gym, where her younger sister, Viola, is the Gym Leader. Look out for people quickly dashing about on Roller Skates! Alexa is a journalist who works in Lumiose City and travels all around the world for her job.

Santalune City Gym

Pokémon Gyms reflect the particular traits of their Gym Leaders and the Pokémon type those Leaders prefer. The dimly lit Santalune City Gym, where Viola presides, is constructed from web-like threads. The exterior of the Santalune City Gym doesn't reveal much of the true nature of the Gym and its Leader.

Characters / Friends

Early in your journey, you'll meet four special friends whom you'll encounter frequently throughout your adventure. All five of you will be given Pokémon and Pokédexes for your travels around the Kalos region.

Shauna	Tierno	Trevor	Alexa	Viola

Shauna: Shauna is an energetic girl who is eager to discover her own dreams. But she's also genuinely curious about her friends' progress in their travels!

Tierno: Tierno is burly and nimble, and his goal is to create a dance team with his Pokémon! He pays close attention to Pokémon when they battle to see he if he can incorporate their actions into new dance moves.

Trevor: Trevor's goal is to be the first of the group to complete his Pokédex. He's a great student, bursting with curiosity, but he admits that he has much to learn to become a great Trainer.

Viola: Viola is the Gym Leader of Santalune City, but battling isn't her only talent. She's also a professional Pokémon photographer.

New Pokémon

Flabébé	Litleo	Scatterbug	Spewpa

Litleo: The hot-blooded Litleo is always ready for a good fight! Its mane blazes with heat during battle, burning hotter and hotter the stronger its opponent.

Scatterbug: The Bug-type Scatterbug resides mostly in forests and wild plains. After Scatterbug has reached a high enough level, it will evolve into Spewpa.

Spewpa: Spewpa is the middle Pokémon of this evolutionary chain. With enough experience gained from battle, Spewpa will eventually evolve into Vivillon.
