Game Freak offered a deeper look into their upcoming game, sparking excitement and awe among fans during the trailer showcase. The spotlight was on Lumiose City, which draws inspiration from Paris, showcasing its European architecture, narrow streets, charming outdoor cafés, and a unique take on the Eiffel Tower. The city's integration of nature, with trees and grass intertwining with urban structures and moss-covered buildings, creates a visually stunning environment. Players can now explore from new heights, climbing rooftops and even leaping between buildings.
Lumiose City is amidst a transformative reconstruction, led by the Quasartico Corporation, aimed at fostering coexistence between humans and Pokémon. However, the ominous demeanor of the company's CEO and their secretary hints at a potentially darker narrative thread.
