New X & Y Pok?mon unveiled at Japan Expo

Game Freak director, Junichi Masuda has unveiled a new Pokmon, 'Honedge', which is set to feature in Pokmon X & Y for Nintendo 3DS.

"It is now known that Honedge comes into being when a departed spirit possesses a sword that once belonged to humans," the official blurb explains. "It can use the blue cloth attached to its hilt as nimbly as an arm.

"Pokmon Trainers who carelessly take this blade in hand may find the blue cloth wrapping itself around them and draining their energy!"

Honedge can apparently learn the attack Swords Dance, a Normal-type move.

"Swords Dance is a frenetic dance that uplifts the fighting spirit and sharply raises the user's Attack stat. The effect can be increased by using this move multiple times in succession, helping Trainers who deploy this move at the beginning of a battle to overwhelm one opponent after another!"

Masuda said he specifically chose the Japan Expo in Paris to unveil Honedge due to its inspiration on the world of the new game.

Speaking at the French expo, the director explained that Game Freak visited numerous locations across the country during 2011, and the information it gathered influenced the design of the new Kalos region.
