[@jedimastu]

Doesn't sound like a bad thing at all. Based on one "city" or not, it could still be a massive map with lots to explore. This could result in the most detailed, fleshed out Pokemon map we have EVER seen. Love this video and all of the points that you made. The map in GTA is literally a city and its huge. I'm all for them trying unique things. Paris is large and a wonderful setting for a Pokemon game.

[@khazm2451]

Yeah for sure, we’ve seen a lot of complaints about trouble filling in these large open landscapes, this’ll give them the opportunity to fill everything in completely

[@Frytoons]

they could make the sewer system explorable to give us a whole other world to explore underground or something. also the paris catacombs

[@angelicwarrior118]

Additionally, maybe Kalos was entirely Lumoise at one point. Also, the post was from Nintendo, not TPC proper. For now, I won’t fully trust the post, unless we get more confirmation on this being the exact case. And furthermore, there are hints that the people of Lumoise tried expanding outside the city itself. But overall, only time will tell the truth, and the game still has potential to be good.

[@DaniyalHaider]

I also hope they continue the remodelling and retexturing of Pokémon’s. They reworked quiets a few in SV. Maybe during this 2 year period they’ll rework the entire Pokédex!

[@iancastro1327]

We knew this the second it dropped wtf its also in the official website

[@justopher8487]

I have an alternate take. I think that over the course of the game, you'll be helping whoever is seeking to redevelop Lumiose City by expanding it into the surrounding wilds, similar to how the expansion of Paris greatly polluted and contaminated the nature around it. This is what I think Nintendo meant by the game taking place entirely within Lumiose City, so that it could become what the blueprint from the teaser is showing. There would be a Pokemon boss in each area you expand into, but ultimately you beat them and Lumiose City becomes bigger and bigger. Zygarde takes notice of this and attempts to stop the player but ultimately, even if the player is convinced to stop the expansion of Lumiose City, it still would become what it is in modern day, as Zygarde fails to stop it. I see it as a cautionary story as what could happen if humans' greed for power becomes too much.

[@lennyface2586]

that makes so much sense yea i hope it's like that

[@RenicoKim]

Yeah similar on how Jubilife village is build little by little in LA

[@florianricquart4114]

It makes sense, but I have some doubts. One of the appeals of a Pokémon game is « Catch’em all », but with an expanding city that takes over areas, you could lose Pokémon catching opportunities. There may be a way around that, but I don’t think Game Freak’ll do this

[@Juniverse0]

Something I really liked about PLA was realising what Sinnoh-locations I was in, by hearing the motifs in the music. I hope they’ll do something similar for Z-A, regardless of it only taking place in Lumiose. Or they’ll throw a curveball and say that Lumiose spanned the entire region in the past, but got largely blown up during the war, between Z-A and XY, or something.

[@ikorraks]

It's split into 5 sections so it could be themed the same as legends Arceus to improve performance, and you only have one section to go into at the start but after doing a certain amount of tasks to help improve the city, you're asked to go help in a different area, like the stars thing for Arceus. And there could be one totem Pokémon and one gym leader in each of the 5 sections to prove your worth to the Pokémon in the city and the people.

[@irrespondible]

Also, not to mention, Lumiose City is one of the biggest cities there are in Pokémon, maybe the biggest of the pre-Switch Era, I dare to say, with, like, 3 Pokémon Centers, a large train station, its own underground and all that. It's also the most populated city in all the games up until Paldea's Mesagoza city. Also, to note: Jubilife City, in the games, was dwarfed by how Jubilife Village looked in PLA and Lumiose was still in the era of chibi and even then it looked the largest city in the games, so I'll go out on a limb and say that a Legends-style Lumiose is gonna look massive enough for a Legends game.

[@GreyVictory1510]

Honestly, I believe that we will get the outer areas beyond the city wall. These areas still belong to Lumiose, they are just the outer areas. A comparison for this would be Crossbell from Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure. Which funnily enough also combines into Z A. Crossbell is a city state and beyond the cities walls are the areas that still belong to it, including a mining and a farming village, a beach area near a big lake and more areas. They could easily add areas like that in Z-A, too. And still everything just happens in Lumiose City, technically.

[@ojirmr]

Ttar, please read this, since Pokemon Z-A is set in the Parisian-inspired Lumiose City, it’s possible that the game could involve the catacombs and vast underground tunnels!

[@TheBournemouthGuy1999]

From the looks of the maps side by side there is going to be more back roads and alley ways meaning more shops and builds we may be able to enter. I think a cool twist to the game is that you as the play can help make decisions as to what new shops open where making the game feel more personal as we are helping modernise lumiose City Taking it a step further from what you said, instead of certain areas being over run by pokemon, how about a "noble" like pokemon breaks through the gate and you have to defend lumiose from all these pokemon catching as many as possible and at the end game you find out that zygarde is trapped under the tower and its been calling for the pokemon to set it free from the prison it was put in by the previous ruler of the region and there fore humans are actually the "evil" team

[@Nuigi12]

I personally think people are taking the wording too literally, I don't think they mean Luminose will be the only location in the game, but will act as a huge main base. There will probably be some other areas outside of Luminose but they won't be as big and will be explored once the story reaches that point. I don't think it will be all of Kalos too, but maybe a Giant Luminose City area and then a few smaller areas

The Japanese nintendo tweet also translates along the lines of "a new adventure begins in this city." Technically we could still be adventuring outside of luminose

[@brettwood1351]

I also feel people are thinking this is going to be just like Arceus in a lot of ways. But Arceus was itself Game Freak chosing to buck their own trends, and they could very easily do so even more here. I personally wonder if as you reconstruct the city, you get access to more pokemon, perhaps importing them into parks and other habitats within the city. And after several games focused on big wilderness areas, I can understand them wanting to do an urban setting.

[@StanleySophana]

My thoughts are lumiose city will start off as a small settlement and the majority of the map will be “wild area” that’s undeveloped. As you progress through the story different parts of the city will be built up until we’re in an open world city. Kinda like how in PLA different parts of jubilife opened up (hopefully on a bigger scale)

[@groudonor12]

[@Twisty_26]

"Size does not matter because anything can be made big." - Ttar 2024

[@theosophical5197]

Lumiose being the map of the game is interesting, Just think of Lumiose like Midgar from FF7Remake (Huge city that you spend the entire game in) Imagine as we work for this redevelopment company, we go to each sector of Lumiose, researching pokemon and adapting them into to Redeveloped Lumiose so that humans and pokemon can live in peace. Like how in PLA we had to gather information about the pokemon to raise our rank to proceed to another area, but this time we'd need the information to complete a part of the redevelopment plan. I expect a lot of this game's quests to be about catching pokemon and bringing to a better location, or a quest about kicking out a bunch of zubats from an abandoned building so that the construction crew can come in and demolish it. The main quests for each area are likely going to surround some big boss mega pokemon causing trouble in the city, and they might include the Lumiose Catacombs (without bones though) which is likely where Zygarde or if we have that 4th legendary then maybe thats where he'll be.

[@cis22]

When they announced the Terrarium for The Indigo Disk, I thought that was just one area to explore among other small areas in Unova. It was surprising that the Terrarium is all that there is for that DLC and they already revealed it in the trailer. So I think it's safe to say that the Lumiose City map we were shown would literally be the actual whole of the in-game map of Z-A.

[@nickperez4158]

1. Unova's Map isn't based on the state of New York, it's based on Manhattan and parts of it's surrounding area. 2. To people who think this map could be very small, take a look at the scale of Midgar in Final Fantasy VII Remake which is also one place divided into sections. If Nintendo was smart they could turn Lumiose City into their own Midgar

[@gustavju4686]

While it's limits are the Manhattan area, the non-Castelia towns are based on different parts of NYS. Funny coincidence that Lumiose is being compared to a city called Midgar (given norse influences for the legendaries).

[@1Kayo-]

Yea like people thought the terrarium in the dlc was small but it actually has a decent amount of size no doubt that lumiose city will be bigger

[@notyourpotato3304]

Exactly what i thought, this will only be another Midgar situation

[@Astral_tha_God]

I swear I thought you saw that when they posted that a few weeks ago 😅 After seeing that tweet, I figured it would work like PLA. Each sector of Lumiose would be like the different areas we unlock in Hisui. They'd probably be huge, like an actual large city...like Paris lmao Lumiose was already pretty big in X and Y. Imagine what the scale will be like now on the Switch. So we help develop that sector, probably have a mega pokemon or something to fight to have that area to develop. This Lumiose could possibly be the size of Kalos in X and Y. I think it's a cool concept

[@fnafplushworld3620]

To expand on what you said, they could also make it like area zero & have an elevator to go underground and you find a wildlife zone to catch new pokemon. Just a thought though

[@beeceepedia3784]

A lot of great speculation and ideas. I'm wondering if it might be kind of like Fable 3, where you are the head dude trying to build everything up. It'd be super neat to have currency that can be used to build and customize the city. I'm not worried about it. I think it's a cool idea. Lumiose City is one of the biggest cities in Pokemon and it always felt much bigger than we even got to explore. Would it be cool to visit all of Kalos? Sure. But it might detract from a more polished game, and this may give a lot more life to Lumiose specifically. Frankly, I've been hoping the next Legends game was in Kalos since I played Arceus since Kalos sets up so many mysteries and past lore. Subscribed to your channel. You've been posting some really interesting stuff. I like your ideas and hype.

[@cryo4026]

My theory for PokémonZ-A, or as I like to call it, “Pizza” You are a teenager who got hired as a volunteer/intern for the Lumiose city Police force, who are also currently responsible for helping out redeveloping the city (like everyone else is) and helping find out exactly what Pokémon are inside the city’s borders. Your job is to stop rouge or dangerous pokemon from harming the people or city while also making sure rival gangs and evil teams like the monstrous team flare don’t ruin the peace. In short, your job is to maintain ORDER.

[@e7193]

[@Kumahachi8]

[@SuperSonics1]

Hey Ttar I realized that there are 7 Pokemon from the Kalos region that have been in at least one main series game (which includes sequel games and dlc) in each gen since their debut in X and Y. These Pokemon are Noivern, Sylveon, Hawlucha, Malamar, Talonflame, Dragalge, and Goodra. I think that they are gonna get new mega evolutions.

[@LyricPotato]

just wanted to add about the ultimate weapon thing, the Lysandre Labs is literally in lumiose and i am pretty sure the 2 buttons to "save the world" is in there as well to activate said weapon- also AZ himself was locked up there- and he tells you about the war a long time ago. Maybe this will be important during the game?

[@anny8720]

I've seen people theorize that we might find the ultimate weapon while expanding the sewers/catacombs and since it's likely that the urban redevelopment team in the trailer is team flare's precursor, we'll leave it in their care to be later passed onto and used by lysandre in xy

[@jesoko6724]

I wouldn't be surprised if they also expand the city by adding an undercity similar to the one in Goldenrod, Johto. It would allow them to add a cave like region for dark or sewer loving Pokemon. And if you are right and parts of the city are going to be locked because they are disabled, it would make sense that you might need to go into an underground section of the city to enable utilities like power or waterworks. The entrances could be hidden and finding them could be part of the game's routine-- beat the pokemon and/or gang of people hiding or guarding the entrance. And I'm also fairly sure Paris is one of those cities that has extensive underground catacombs, so having a massive undercity would make sense.

I'm all for it. This is something they have never done before - and actual, gigantic, immersive city, and what better city to choose than the equivalent of Paris. I can picture that this redevelopment (as it was stated that it aims to facilitate coexistence and harmony between humans and Pokemon in the city) will turn each plaza into a different biome, there will be ponds (rivers with wild Pokemon in them were already shown in the teaser), and wild Pokemon in the city will be called 'stray' instead or something, fully available to be caught. Not to mention that there will definitely be catacombs and sewers underneath the whole city, just like under real-world Paris. I also believe that if we're confined to only one (although massive) city, the story will be superb to make up for the 'lack' of adventure. This is a Legends game, after all.

[@Pakkoyan]

My best explanation for all the skeptics on this is think of all the towns/cities in the game compared to in the anime. The anime settings are massive with actual town and city size landscapes, amount of building and amount of people. Compare that to ANY game where a town/city is between 5-15 notable spots in an area that resemble more of a neighborhood than actual towns/cities. To me they’re trying to try a game purely based on an actual city sized map and fill that up with what would usually be spread out throughout a region. And with the confirmed extra time that they’ve FINALLY been given, we can hope for a game packed full of detail and love like the old ones were

[@Raphtor13]

Depending on when they set the time it could be parts not built into city yet too. I'm looking forward to it - also there could be parks and they could be pretty big.

[@TheTazame]

looking at the old map of lumiose and the blueprints they show in the reveal trailer, the blueprints are insanely different from the old lumoise map, with what looks like much more buildings and additions, the 5 plaza's are also all different sizes in the blueprints as well, so im excited to see just how much they expand lumiose city

[@umbreoniteUwU]

Id love to see parks and gardens and stuff where you can find plant and bug types. Ponds and sewers for water types, abandoned buildings for ghost types or steel types. This could be really cool!

[@Syahzarin]

I think the game would be like a recruitment and city building style. fight certain key pokemon to recruit them to be part of lumios city and each recruited pokemon has a specific role to play in the city

[@corujarandompt9330]

so from my understanding, lumiose city is huge, so maybe the open world map will have different zones which seem to even be showed segmented there, the progression being us building lumiose city from the ground up in each ''pizza slice'' of the city

I agree with ttar, this is a good thing. We get to see and be part of everyday city life in the pokemon world and play a different role besides pokemon trainer. Given the theme, concepts, and era this could be a really good lore heavy game like hisui and have some pretty dark storyline, or side quests.

If you think about it like legends arceus, each of the 5 plaza would be its own area with its own Pokémon. and the like center plaza could be the main hub like the village was in PLA.

I mean, a game taking place entirely in one city can work, even in a pokemon setting, for example, there's a fan game called pokemon ashen frost that does exactly this, there's a lot of ways to get pokemon like grass, you can adopt them from the side of the road, you can do a gacha for them and other stuff, plus the world to explore is huge and only takes place in one city and it's surrounding area besides maybe like one island that you boat to later on, they could take a similar approach but flesh it out more

As a child I was obsessed with cities in video games because of the verticality and all the buildings to explore, also just something about the geometry and the textures always appealed to me. That part of me is super excited to get a Pokémon game set in a potentially highly detailed city that's having all the resources that can be spared put into its development (at least ideally lol, this is Gamefreak after all so I'll just remain cautiously optimistic for now)

Lore accurate Jesus coming in with another banger

[@jesserayburn6924]

What you're looking at is lumiose city as the zygarde cube. And Z-A, Im thinking is Zygarde Alpha form. And showing the mega symbol, either they're doing alpha megas, or just mega zygarde.

[@astrophysisist]

I think the main reason people have been kinda worried abt the map is because in xy lumiose kinda frlt really small because the map was alot bigger

[@Anastasis1610]

I’m very glad they’re taking such huge leaps

[@CamKoudo]

I agree so much with Ttar's take on this one!

[@hollymilner7488]

A possible theory, since its redevelopment of Lumiose city you have to visit the outside world (this could be during the war or after) go into dangerous places and get supplies and like gyms/ trials will be in the the gym in the center (like dungeon floors in video games)

[@DanielBonaker]

Love the take, a city region is gonna be great

[@kikopm88]

Maybe the other parts of the region are not yet mapped but will still appear in a zonal exploration PLA style, and will have Lumiouse City as main barracks.

I could see GF throwing something out of left field. First the sycro machine will be a HUGE part of the game. We may be playing as pokemon most of the time with limited if any opportunities to do traditional battles (even in the PLA sense) Maybe have a city building element where you need X fire pokemon for this place or X water type for that area. I'm interested to see what they do. Where I'd prefer "more of the same" I.E. PLA but in Kalos..I'm down for GF to get experimental. Any great video so keep up the content!

[@ym-ninja3221]

This just reminded me, we might get more info about the ghost girl since it's taking place in Lumiose city

[@Sacred_Korok69]

My hope for this game is that we learn more about AZs floette... and also get to ride on our own pokemon

[@jordanackland7844]

I would love skating around a full size lumiose in a completely customised character down to the shoelace colours

[@Yumpieee]

Can confirm these facts are strange… but official ! Was not disappointed ❤️
