The official Pokemon website has been updated this morning, revealing the names of the two legendary Pokemon revealed in the trailer for Pokemon X and Pokemon Y. The blue one is named Xerneas (ZURR-nee-us) while the red one is named Yveltal (ee-VELL-tall). These names are confirmed for international languages as well.
As if it weren't already obvious before this reveal, the names help confirm that Xerneas is most likely the legendary Pokemon for Pokemon X, while Yveltal is most likely the legendary Pokemon for Pokemon Y.

Posted 1/9/2013 11:49:20 AMUntil Serebii can provide an official source to that, that's just their opinion of how it's pronounced. Keep that in mind.
V-Wheeeeeel!!!

Posted 1/9/2013 2:05:05 PMUnless they suck up weather and change it's type/attacks type or actually do something instead of looking pretty, I'm getting Ything. Why? Because hipster.

Posted 1/10/2013 5:52:58 PMI like flying pokemon as well, but I just don't think that it looks too awesome. I like the look of Xerneas more. It's probably grass or psychic (or both). I don't like grass all that much, but I usually go by looks for the legendaries ;)

Posted 1/9/2013 11:11:26 AMAs cool as they sound, they are definitely running out of names, first Croakie, and now this?

Posted 1/9/2013 6:23:48 PMI'm not wanting to start a flame-war here, but it's not like Pokemon's been highly creative with all of the names since the beginning. I mean, Mr. Mime, Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam, Geodude, etc. I mean, even the starters were just two words thrown together (Char + Salamander, Squirt Turtle, etc).
From the sounds of the names (for the legendaries), it seems like they've been inspired from ancient South American Gods or something similar.
