In the Kalos region, which bears a resemblance to France, Pokemon X and Y feature many new creatures that draw inspiration from animals and cultures across distant continents and nations. For instance, Hawlucha, the Wrestling Pokemon, is modeled after Mexican Luchador wrestlers, while Pangoro, the Daunting Pokemon, is inspired by China’s giant pandas. Similarly, Pyroar, the Royal Pokemon, has roots in lions, but its design also incorporates elements from medieval European architecture, symbolism, and heraldry, as well as extinct lion subspecies that once roamed Europe. Much like modern African lions, male Pyroars exhibit flamboyant manes, while females have more conservative fur styles.

But enough to make you wonder if the next step is a complete overhaul of how we pay bills, or at least how we check our bank balances without the screen trying to hypnotize us. 😏

In a fresh post on platform X (previously Twitter), Hideki Kamiya – the director of Resident Evil 2 – reminisced about the creation process of the original Resident Evil game.

Bitcoin, that digital dragon, decided to lift its head from the volcanic lava of volatility and climbed above $116,000, as if to say, “Look, I am alive and kicking, and perhaps a tad delirious.” Elsewhere, oil hovered around $64-probably pondering its own existence-and Treasury yields didn’t move much, because who needs excitement when the tariffs are dancing?
