Pokémon Legends: Z-A is bringing us back to the Kalos region to help with the urban redevelopment plans of Lumiose City, but fans still aren’t convinced we’ll be trapped within that one area.
One of the biggest takeaways from the initial Legends: Z-A teasers was it’s going to be “a new adventure set entirely within Lumiose City,” according to Nintendo. This suggests the story will revolve around us building a safe space for humans and Pokémon to live together in harmony in the Kalos capital, possibly while dealing with the aftermath of a violent conflict. It’s a pretty refreshing new concept we haven’t seen from a mainline Pokémon game so far, but it feels a little unrealistic for Z-A to take place “entirely” in one city.
