The size may be for all versions of "Pokémon X and Y" worldwide, regardless of language, since the game automatically will include language options, from English, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Spanish, and Korean.

The news comes as a new gameplay trailer was released on the Japanese Pokémon Channel YouTube account. The sixth-gameplay trailer features a new Pokémon known as Oorotto, a tree-like Pokémon who has not been given an official English name. Pokémon featured in the latest trailer include Mewtwo's new form, Litleo, Helioptile, Charizard, Flygon, Sylveon, Talonflame, and Druddigon, to name a few.

As Latinos Post reported, the new criminal organization and professor were revealed for the Kalos region.

Succeeding Team Plasma will be Team Flare. Information on the new villainous team is scarce, but the "fashionable" group is known to wear bright red attire and were seen using a Houndour in a new Pokémon trailer, likely signifying their specialty will be Fire-type Pokémon.

In regards to the professor, according to Bulbapedia, the player will meet Prof. Augustine Sycamore at Lumiose City, the main hub of Kalos. Augustine will also officially become the first professor to battle the player at various points in the game. Prof. Sycamore's name continues the tradition of Pokémon professors named after trees, succeeding Profs. Samuel Oak, Elm, Birch, Rowan, and Aurea Juniper.

Pokémon X & Y will be 1.7GB (approx 14000 blocks) when downloaded via the Nintendo eShop. pic.twitter.com/kgElxD9Ufq
