Kalos (Japanese: カロス地方 Kalos-chihō) is a region of the Pokémon world. It is the setting of Pokémon X and Y. It is based on France.[1]

The Kalos region is shaped like a five-pointed star, with one of its biggest cities being Lumiose City to the north-central part of the region. It features a vast network of rivers and waterways snaking though much of its landscape, cities and towns. North-east of Lumiose City, lies a mountain range where more frigid temperatures exist, extending down into the plains below.

Landmarks

Lumiose City includes a tall tower in its center.

Etymology

According to Junichi Masuda, the name "Kalos" comes from the Greek word κάλλος, meaning beauty.[2]
