Hi, I am a Nintendo of America employee responsible for helping upload various pages for their website and I bring good news...tomorrow, Thursday the 28th, there will be a Nintendo Direct that will contain new Pokemon X/Y News, as the official X/Y Website will be updating alongside it as well.

The information that will be revealed includes the following:
* Artwork of the protagonists. There appearances are set, but you can change the colors of their clothing it appears.
* "Romon", the new Region. Based off France, judging by the map shape, with a focus on "towers" spotted around the Region.
* Two New Pokemon, the Early Bird and Early Rodent it seems. Bird is named "Shrowl" in English/Spanish/Italian, "Timibou" in French, and "Scheule" in German. A little, white owl who covers its face with its wings like a mask. Rodent is named "Roodent" in English/Spanish/Italian, "Rongou" in French, and "Mauzoo" in German. A kangaroo mouse with big feet.
* "Howya Hostel", a new feature utilizing worldwide WiFi. Areas in each town where you can interact with passing trainers from all-around the world, and chat with them using a set selection of words and phrases that are translated. Can also rent a room, customize it, and send/receive mail and gifts in the mail room to people you've previously met.

There will also be a new Zelda for the 3DS revealed as well. The graphics are based off the Wind Waker style, and features a "speed mechanic", as Link obtains magical boots allowing him to utilize speed to solve puzzles. Like Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, a vehicle is involved, in this case Link operates a race car and takes part in a cross-country road race.

Look forward to the Nintendo Direct being announced in the next day or so!
