Lumiose City has an ongoing urban development project! The aim is to create a place where Pokémon and humans can live together. Soon after you arrive in the city, you'll be able to choose one of these Pokémon as a companion for your journey: Chikorita, Tepig or Totodile.
Together, you can explore the streets of this vast city or visit Wild Zones - habitats where you'll encounter wild Pokémon. You can catch them by aiming accurately and throwing a Poké Ball or with the help of your team's Pokémon.
For the first time ever, Trainers and Pokémon move and interact in real time during battles! Pokémon make their moves when commanded by Trainers.
New mechanics are included, such as the precise timing of Pokémon switching or movement, the duration of movements before activation, and the extent of their range of influence.
In Lumiose City, Pokémon can achieve Mega Evolution! When a Trainer's Key Stone resonates with the Mega Stone held by a Pokémon, the Pokémon not only changes shape and size - it gains a new level of power that can turn the tide of battle!
