In an interesting note, the video by IGN is titled, "Pokemon Y Version - Pyroar Reveal," it is unknown if Litleo and its evolution would be exclusive to "Y" and not "Pokémon X."
The name Pyroar comes from the fire term "pyro" and "roar," which is a classic feature from lions.
The Pokémon Company International has not issued a statement in regards to Pyroar, but this appears to be the real deal.

The new Pokémon comes as the latest "Pokémon Direct" presentation announced a cloud service known as "Pokémon Bank," which will allow the player to store up to 3,000 Pokémon via the Internet. Pokémon Bank will have an annual fee and will play a role in transferring Pokémon from the fifth-generation games to "Pokémon X and Y."
In addition, as Latinos Post reported, "Pokémon X and Y" Director Junichi Masuda confirmed the first generation's Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle can be chosen in the new game. The three Kanto starter Pokémon will be able to Mega Evolve once evolving to their final evolutions of Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise, respectively.
Meanwhile, a two-episode preview of the upcoming "Pokémon X and Y" anime season has been confirmed to debut on Cartoon Network on Oct. 19. The previews for "Pokémon the Series: XY" will follow the new film "Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened."
