Yet another video is out for X&Y, this time hosted by Masuda himself; talking about how excited he is that the games will be released all over the world on the same date, the inspiration behind Kalos, and a little bit about the sword Pokemon revealed yesterday, now given the English name Honedge
Honedge comes into being when a departed spirit possesses a sword that once belonged to humans. It can use the blue cloth attached to its hilt as nimbly as an arm. Pokémon Trainers who carelessly take this blade in hand may find the blue cloth wrapping itself around them and draining their energy! Honedge can also learn Swords Dance. It is 2'07" and weighs 4.4lbs.
It also uses what appears to be a signature move in the French version of the trailer (it was removed from the English version for some reason) that you can see here

I'm still not sure how a sword works in Pokemon, i mean, there are Pokemon that attack with sharp claws and all, but this is a sword, i dunno, it just feels weird having a sword Pokemon that can cut through Pokemon and have it be family friendly
Especially with that dramatic samurai sideways slash attack it used in that video
