[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@frytoes]

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.

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.

[@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.

[@Astral_thee_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]

The game wasn’t even announced a few weeks ago

[@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.

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.

[@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

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]

[@millenniumvintage9726]

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)

[@dohello3091]

Any reason Pokémon ZA has no relation to AZ and the Pokémon war? AZ was a king as far back as 3000 years. He had a little brother too. Once he revived his Pokémon, it left him because it was upset with the destruction he caused to end the war. Maybe the game follows him trying to right his wrong by rebuilding the city to try to get his Pokémon back. There are probably many holes in this idea but makes sense to me

[@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

[@GustavoJua15]

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

[@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.

[@Z0RUK]

Maybe those sectors are similar to the regions in PLA (in terms of how you travel to them and size).

[@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

[@thewarden3575]

7:45 another great example would be looking at Gold and Silver’s spaceworld demo and comparing it to other regions.

[@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

[@SlippySloppyyy]

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.

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.

I wasn't worried that the game would be too small when it was revealed to only take olace in Lumiose City, I'm worried because that means the entire game is urban themed. A pokemon game that takes place in exclusively urban areas doesn't sound fun to me personally.

100 zygarde cells… imagine having to find 100 specific can sized objects spread all around new york city

My guess is the game is gonna be based around starting with a simple town, then upgrading it over time into a bustling city

[@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

I half want to believe that the A in Z-A is a reference to Arceus (or Rayquaza), because perhaps arceus still probably played a role and dragged us to the time period ZA plays in

If it's just Lumiose City, that means no: Geosenge Town and Tower of Mastery (are pretty important to the lore of Kalos) Anistar City (I would like to see a in-game reason as to why the Sundail is there as opposed to being a hint for gen 7) Parfum Palace (that was made 300 years ago that would fit in with Haussmann's renovation of Paris + it also ties into Black and White with the Reshiram and Zekrom statues) Couriway Town (I guess we'll have to wait for a German region to see where the train goes) Terminus Cave and Pokémon Village (personally I would like to see them both return, but Terminus Cave definitely should)

The people who are upset about this probably don't live in big cities or understand just how vast they are. I've never been to Paris, but I can say for sure that if Chicago or Mexico (the 2 biggest cities I've ever been to) had one of their exact maps turned into a pokemon region then it would be by far the largest pokemon region ever made. It wouldn't even be a close comparison; pokemon regions are nothing compared to our real life cities.

With the way the city is broken up into sectors I could almost see the experience being like how the NukaWorld dlc was for Fallout 4. You're tasked to go out to each area to clear up some issue in order to allow for development.

[@jeffhirsh5722]

if they add the Paris catacombs thatd be so sick imagine exploring underground toms connected to the sewers.

[@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

[@FirlowXD]

Well, here we go, he's talking about it!

[@TheSoftcoreMonkey]

This is kinda like Bloodborne/Lies of P logic where 80% of the game takes place in one city or location (Yharnam/Krat) and you barely even notice because it’s structured in a way that feels like your exploring something greater. It is not necessarily a bad sign.
