The story is set in Lumiose City, where an urban redevelopment plan is underway to shape the city into a place that belongs to both people and Pok�mon. Compared to Lumiose City as it appeared in the Pok�mon X and Pok�mon Y games, released in 2013, more greenery now adorns the city, alongside facilities with a cutting-edge feel. In Lumiose City, spaces frequented by people�such as shopping arcades, caf�s, and restaurants�coexist with more natural areas, such as waterfronts and verdant parks. At the center of Lumiose stands Prism Tower, the very symbol of the city. The Story Begins with a Sightseeing Trip to Lumiose City... While visiting Lumiose City during your travels, you�ll come to stay in an old hotel named Hotel Z. This hotel will serve as your base as you and the new friends you�ll meet in Lumiose tackle all sorts of incidents that will occur in the city.
