A new story unfolds in Lumiose City, a city undergoing urban redevelopment.
▼The setting of the adventure: Lumiose City The adventure takes place in Lumiose City, a major city in the Kalos region that also appeared in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. This city is undergoing urban redevelopment aimed at coexistence between humans and Pokémon, and the "Wild Zone," a section developed with the latest technology, is home to wild Pokémon. The protagonist, visiting Lumiose City as a tourist, chooses one of three Pokémon—Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile—as their partner and, together with their companions, tackles various events and incidents occurring in the city.
▼Challenge the "ZA Royale" at night At night, an area surrounded by red holograms called the "Battle Zone" appears in the city. There, from sunset to sunrise, trainers compete in Pokémon battles in the "ZA Royale," held daily. Participants are given a "rank" ranging from Z to A, and everyone starts at Z rank. Upon reaching A rank, you are granted the title and honor of being the strongest, and you are said to be able to have one wish granted.
▼First in the series: Real-time combat where Pokémon and trainers act together. In battle, Pokémon and trainers move together, and Pokémon use moves according to the trainer's commands. In addition to type matchups, new gameplay elements such as the timing of Pokémon switching and move selection, the range of moves, and the speed of execution are added, allowing you to enjoy Pokémon battles like never before. ▼"Mega Evolution" is key to this game. In Lumiose City, you will often see "Mega Evolution," an evolution beyond normal evolution. Some Pokémon can "Mega Evolve," temporarily unleashing their hidden power and achieving a power-up that surpasses normal evolution. How you utilize this "Mega Evolution" is also a key point in battle.
【Features of Nintendo Switch 2 Edition】 The improved frame rate makes movement smoother, and the higher resolution makes the graphics sharper. You can enjoy your adventure in Lumiose City even more comfortably.
