Game Freak provided a deeper look into their upcoming title, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, sparking a whirlwind of emotions among viewers during the trailer showcase. Lumiose City, inspired by Paris, was showcased with its charming European architecture, quaint streets, bustling outdoor cafés, and a striking version of the Eiffel Tower. The city's unique blend of nature and urban life, with trees merging into the cityscape and moss-covered buildings, creates an enchanting environment. Aerial views are particularly stunning, as trainers can now explore rooftops and leap between buildings.

The city is in the midst of a significant transformation, backed by the Quasartico Corporation, which aims to create shared spaces for humans and Pokémon. However, the mysterious demeanor of the corporation's CEO and their secretary hints at a potentially darker narrative.
