Pokémon X and Pokémon Y

http://www.french-linguistics.co.uk/pron...wels.shtml

Game is set in the pokemon version of france. Makes much more sense to assume pokemon there are named using the french letter and pronunciation, and not the latin one.

é is not a french character.
It is a letter in the latin alphabet.
It is used in MANY languages. Including my own mother tongue.
ABC and so on don't become french characters either because they're used in a french word either, that was more or less my point.

It is more than likely meant to use the french pronounciation, but that doesn't make the character in question french. Just the name/word.
