Gen 5: Terrakion, Virizion, Cobalion are based off the FRENCH-novel the 3 musketeer's. Next generation we got a france region
Gen 6: Diancie (Dancing), Hoopa (Hula-Hoop), Volcanion (Volcano) all signs pointing towards Hawaii as next
Keep your eyes peeled for 3 Gen 7 legends hinting towards the Gen 8 region

Diancie has nothing to do with dancing. It's a European princess.
Hoopa is an Arabic genie.
Volcanion is a shisa, which is an Asian thing.
That's actually a good theory, also, in black and white, the nacareen museum has a hawian mask

I wasn't talking about them.
but rather their names seem to hint at whats to come.

ahh nice catch!! and thanks!
Also here's something else I noticed
the backpacker trainer is a trainer introduced in Gen 5.
Gen 5's backpacker wears the colors of the French flag
Gen 6's backpacker has darker skin compared to the other kalos NPC's, and even gives you a strange souvenir (tiki mask). So i'm guessing the backpackers of regions will always indicate what might be coming next

What's their Japanese names? "Hint at what's to come" don't mean much if it's the English localisation side of things doing their usual thing.

names are the same as the case with most legends
