Choose Chikorita, Tepig or Totodile as your first partner Pokémon and begin your adventure in Lumiose City. On your journey, you'll encounter all kinds of Pokémon around town and in wild zones where they roam free. Catch, battle and Mega Evolve them in real-time battles – a first for the Pokémon RPG series – as you build your team and climb the ranks of the illustrious Z-A Royale. And you can link up with friends locally, or online with a Nintendo Switch Online membership, and face off in frenetic free-for-all battles with up to three other Trainers at once. Outside of battle, make your home at Hotel Z (and acquaint yourself with its enigmatic owner, AZ). Visit trendy boutiques for new outfits and hairstyles, cafés to rest with your Pokémon, and find photo-ops at scenic locales including the Prism Tower at the city's center. Lumiose City is also filled with a cast of colorful characters to meet. Make new friends in either Urbain or Taunie, cross paths with Quasartico Inc.'s CEO Jett, and help residents in need to earn various rewards and more. | | | |
