Kalos, a region full of style and history.
Lumiose City, a place similar to Paris, has an array of restaurants, coffee shops, square and many other buildings making it the capital of Kalos and in this city lurks the Gym Leader Clemont whose Gym is inside the Lumiose Tower.
Cyllage City, a place of mountains and hill, has a huge mountain at the side of the City where Grant, the Gym Leader of the city, has his gym at the side of the mountain.
Shalour City, a place of mystery and secrets, has a tower called Tower of Mastery where the secrets of Mega Evolution and the story of the first Mega Evolution is. Korrina, the Gym Leader, has a Gym based of rollerskates.
Overall, this region has some great areas and some downsides to it.

Positives
- A similar facility to the Battle Frontier and Battle Subway
- Able to re-battle Gym Leaders
Negatives
- No modes to change the difficulties in the games
