Learn how to make some Red Velvet Pokéball Cupcakes!

I went up on stage to participate in a cosplay contest (I was dressed up as Ethan). I suspect that a prize wasn't handed out because this happened (all the other contests they held, the prize was a limited edition Pokemon themed 3DS XL).

• Professor Platane = Professor Sycamore.
  
  
• Gym Leader Shitoron = Clemont. He has a sister, Bonnie.
  
  
• Gym Leader Zakuro = Grant.
  
  
• Team Flare = Team Flare.
  
  
• Shushupu = Spritzee. "Spritzee is a Pokémon that can be found in the wild only in Pokémon Y. It emits a unique fragrance from its body, and any who smell it fall under its spell. Spritzee's fragrance changes based on its diet."
  
  
• Peropuff = Swirlix. "Exclusive to Pokémon X, Swirlix loves sweets and eats nothing else, making its body as sweet and sticky as cotton candy. In battle, Swirlix shoots out strings of candy-like sticky thread to bind its opponents. Swirlix's Sweet Veil Ability is new to X/Y. It keeps Swirlix's Pokémon teammates from falling asleep."
  
  
• Maika = Inkay. "Transmitters above Inkay's eyes have the ability to drain the will to fight from other Pokémon. It uses this skill to run and hide when attacked by stronger enemies. The transmitters above Inkay's eyes are also used to communicate with other Pokémon of its kind."
  
  
• Karamanero = Malamar. "The evolved form of Inkay, Malamar wields some of the strongest hypnotic powers of any Pokémon and can make its opponents bend to its will. There is never a shortage of humans attempting to use Malamar to achieve their own nefarious purposes."
  
  
• Goronda = Pangoro.
  
  
• Drain Kiss = Draining Kiss.
  
  
• Turn Over = Topsy-Turvy.
  
  
• Geo Control = Geomancy.
  
  
• Death Wing = Oblivion Wing.
  
  
• Miracle Trade = Wonder Trade. You can trade for a Pokémon and you won't know what you'll get in return.
  
  
• Holo Caster = Holo Caster. A new feature called Photo Spots allows you to take pictures of yourself.
  
  
• You will be able to trade for Pokemon not in your Pokédex through the GTS.

Here's a little run-down of what Masuda discusses in the message: Masuda begins by talking about X&Y being the first Pokémon games to release globally at the same time, and how he's excited behind the idea of battling and trading between players at the same time. It is then explained how the games take place in Kalos, which is inspired by France. As such, Masuda decided that the theme of the games is beauty. There's a little mention of how France is known for it's fashion and culinary sophistication. The name "Kalos" comes from the ancient Greek for beauty. Masuda then talks about his visits to France, as mentioned above. When visiting France, Masuda make sure to carry out research on specific areas, such as the Carnac Stones, something he couldn't do at home in Japan. Lumiose City is also based on the centre of France: Paris! After this there's not much information disclosed. Masuda discusses a little about how he was getting recognised in France by members of the localisation team, and a quick reveal of Monorpale, going on to say how he doesn't want to reveal everything before the game's release in October.

Ideas to pass the time.

shhhhhhh only dreams now... and donuts.
