Pokemon X and Y: Story Speculation?

[Sheepat]

Looking at Serebii (Shot) they're apparently looking over Norse legends and how the deer looks like something from there...

Yggdrasil? I know that's like a giant tree in some, but I think it's also a beautiful stag in others...

And I was thinking that Y-Guy could maybe be the Nidhoggr? Plus, Yggdrasil also starts with 'Y' as well... :P

Well for sure the potential of being a Grass-type is up in the air.

Well if Nidhöggr is the possible inspiration, that could make the Gamma Pokémon a Dragon-type.

The most speculated is a vermillion bird. I don't see it though.

Looks very original to me, like it isn't based on anything.

Well if they're basing the legends off norse mythology it would tie in with the whole europe thing. It'll be interesting to see what the criminals look like. All this costume stuff's gotten kinda old. (sorry Galactic and Plasma)

Perhaps their uniforms will have viking helmets?

I would like to see the evil team being a sorta mafia-style kinda thing. The big boss could be like Al Capone, in a big hotel, everybody knows he's the boss but can't touch him, you know?
