*Kalos is meant to be based on France, although the creators also took inspiration from other parts of Europe.

*Kalos is the second region to have all the fully evolved starters have a secondary type; the first being Sinnoh.
*Route 1 in Kalos is one of the shortest routes in the game.
**Additionally, it is the only route not to contain Pokémon.
*As the same in Kanto in Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen, the starter Pokémon dictates which legendary out of the possible three can be caught.
*Kalos has three Pokédexes: Central, Coastal, and Mountain.
*Kalos is the only European based region to have a letter o in its English name where Galar and Paldea do not.
