|colorlight=EF4135}}

'''Lumiose City''' (Japanese: '''ミアレシティ''' ''Miare City'') is a large city nestled in the north-central part of the [[Kalos]] [[region]]. It is a prominent central hub of the region and is the most populous city in the Pokémon world.

Lumiose City has five gates connecting it to outside routes. In the southeast is the {{rt|4|Kalos}} Gate, in the southwest the {{rt|5|Kalos}} Gate, in the northwest the {{rt|13|Kalos}} Gate, in the north the {{rt|14|Kalos}} Gate, and in the northeast the {{rt|16|Kalos}} Gate.

===Layout===

[[File:Lumiose City map.png|thumb|Map of Lumiose City]]

Many small shops and cafés line the many streets and avenues of Lumiose City. This is a brief guide to the city's layout and where all of its establishments are located.

The city is basically shaped like a spoked wheel. The outside "wheel" is split into North and South Boulevards, while the spokes are divided among several avenues and plazas. The boulevards and avenues are lined with the city's many establishments, while the plazas are primarily open gathering spaces, with an occasional establishment or two on the outskirts. The center hub is devoted to a wide, open area with Prism Tower at its center.

The boulevards are laid out as follows, moving along the street in a clockwise direction:

All of the avenues and plazas are connected by a continuous ring near the hub, but occasionally there will also be an alleyway connecting two of the spokes farther out from the hub. A group of randomly battlable Trainers also lurk around this inner part of the city.

The city's spokes are laid out in the order given below, moving through them in a clockwise direction starting from the first spoke connected to South Boulevard. The left and right sides referred to below presume the player is facing out from the hub.

The city's hub area is called Centrico Plaza and contains only Prism Tower and a [[Photography|Photo Spot]].

{{main|Lumiose Gym}}

Prism Tower is a large tower located in Centrico Plaza in the middle of Lumiose City. It houses the [[Lumiose Gym|Lumiose City Gym]]. Prism Tower is based on the real-world Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. It is also a [[Prism Tower (stage)|playable stage]] in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]].

===North Boulevard===

====Galette Stand====

A small stand located on the North Boulevard outside Autumnal Avenue that sells {{DL|Status condition healing item|Lumiose Galette}}s for {{pdollar}}100 ({{pdollar}}80 if the player has at least 50 points of style). The stand only sells freshly baked galettes, which last four hours at a time starting at 3 AM, 9 AM, 3 PM, and 9 PM. Once per day, if the player purchases a galette within an hour of the time they were baked, the player will also receive a free {{DL|Drink|Moomoo Milk}}.

====Lumiose Museum====

A large, white building that houses many paintings of people and locations in the Pokémon world. Entrance is free, but an audio guide is available for {{pdollar}}200 (or for free if the player has at least 90 points of style). It plays a role Post-Game during the Looker chapters.

====Hotel Richissime====

{{main|Hotel Richissime}}

A large, black luxury hotel located near the middle of North Boulevard. Each day, the player can be paid for completing certain tasks in the hotel.

====Battle Institute====

{{main|Battle Institute}}

The Battle Institute on the North Boulevard works in the same way as the one in [[Nimbasa City]] in [[Unova]]. The player can opt for a Battle Test (five consecutive single or double battles) or a Download Test (which can be downloaded either wirelessly or via Wi-Fi at certain time, similar to event Pokémon). The player can win [[Battle Point|BP]] here.

====Lumiose Station====

A very large train station located on the far eastern half of the North Boulevard. Upon defeating the Elite Four and becoming the Champion, Professor Sycamore will meet the player here and give them the {{key|VI|TMV Pass}} which allows them to board the train to [[Kiloude City]].

====Looker Bureau====

[[Looker]]'s headquarters during the post-game storyline are located in a narrow street between North Boulevard and Rouge Plaza. It is initially empty, but Looker settles in after the player enters the Hall of Fame and upgrades the [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]].

After completing all the Looker Bureau chapters, the player can battle [[Emma]] in the Expansion Suit (as Essentia) here on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

This is the first part of Lumiose City that the player can explore in Pokémon X and Y, along with Vernal Avenue. The other parts are blocked until the player has defeated [[Team Flare]] at the [[Kalos Power Plant]] and watched [[Clemont]] relight the [[Lumiose Gym]].

====PR Video Studio ====

{{main|Trainer PR Video}}

A purple building where Trainer PR Videos can be created, located directly across from the South Boulevard Pokémon Center. PR Videos filmed here can be shared with passers-by and people who have been given the player's [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Friend Code]].

When the player reaches sufficient stylishness, the woman at the right counter will add new video effects for PR Videos. She will add two different sets: one if the player has at least 25 points of style, and the other for at least 90 points of style.

[[Professor Sycamore]]'s Pokémon research lab is located directly opposite Vernal Avenue. It is here where the player can receive either {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} upon defeating Professor Sycamore in a Pokémon battle early in the game, as well as their corresponding Mega Stone. After the player enters the Hall of Fame, they can return to the lab to get the [[Poké Radar]] from one of the scientists on the second floor.

On the second floor, player can change {{p|Rotom}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Rotom|forms}}.

====Coiffure Clips====

A small hairdresser located opposite the {{rt|5|Kalos}} Gate. The player can have their hair colored and styled here.

The prices and options are slightly different for male and female players. If a female player requests a styling, she may choose to have the stylist style only her front hair or all of her hair (including her front hair, as a secondary option).

 

 

 

 

====Juice Shoppe====

{{main|Juice Shoppe}}

 

[[File:XY Prerelease Lumiose City.png|thumb|right|300px|A pre-release screenshot of Estival Avenue]]

 

{{main|Pokémon Lottery Corner}}

A building where the player may participate in a lottery drawing every day. Prizes are granted depending on how many digits from a randomly generated ID number match those of any Pokémon in the player's possession.

 

The building where [[Alexa]] works. Alexa will recommend various locations around the city for the player to visit, and offer to take them there.

 

A shop that specializes in {{p|Furfrou}} grooming. The player may buy a trim for a Furfrou in their party for {{PDollar}}500. Trims last for five days or until the Furfrou is deposited in the [[PC]]. The shop initially only offers Star, Diamond, or Heart Trims (as well as the option to return it to a natural look), but as the player gains style, more trims become available. At 10 points of style, the La Reine, Kabuki, and Pharaoh Trims become available, while the Debutante, Matron, and Dandy Trims are available at 50 points of style.

 

A specialty shop that sells [[herbal medicine]]s.

 

A specialty shop that sells [[evolutionary stone]]s. A man in the store will offer to sell the player the remaining [[Mega Stone]]s for the two [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] they did not receive from [[Professor Sycamore]]. The price of these Mega Stones begins at {{pdollar}}1,000,000 but will decrease as the player becomes more [[#Style|stylish]], eventually being available for only {{pdollar}}10,000. After defeating the Elite Four, the owner will first offer the Mega Stone for the Kanto starter that is super-effective to the one chosen by the player.

 

A designer fashion and luxury boutique. The first floor sells only women's clothing, whereas the second floor sells only men's clothing. The player is only granted access to the boutique once they have at least 25 points of style. The [[Clothing|clothes and accessories]] sold here have much higher prices than those sold at other boutiques across Kalos.

 

 

Lumiose City has four restaurants located on South Boulevard (Restaurant Le Nah), Autumnal Avenue (Restaurant Le Yeah), Hibernal Avenue (Restaurant Le Wow), and near Rogue Plaza (Sushi High Roller). At each restaurant, the player can pay to be served a meal where the server will battle the player before each course. After finishing a meal, the player will receive a reward: a number of some [[valuable item]], depending on which restaurant the player is in and how well they did.

===Lumi Cab===

Lumi Cab is a taxi service with stops located all around Lumiose City, enabling the player to easily travel directly to many locations in the sprawling city. The base fare is {{PDollar}}710, but it increases the further away from the destination the taxi starts. All of the destinations are internally assigned to a section of the city, and those destinations in the same section share the same cost, with those in the same section as the taxi starts in costing the cheapest.

 

Once the player reaches a certain level of stylishness, the driver will start giving a 50% discount on the fare. If the player does not have enough money to pay for the ride, the {{tc|driver}} will challenge them to a battle.

In addition to the above benefits, some NPCs will change their dialogue as the player's style increases, and several new NPCs will appear in various places (mostly cafés) around the city as well. At 25 points of style, more people will appear in Café Pokémon-Amie (on Autumnal Avenue), Café Action! (on North Boulevard), Café Introversion (on South Boulevard), and Cafés Classe and Woof (on Vernal Avenue). At 50 points of style, more people will appear in Café Bataille (on North Boulevard), Shutterbug Café (on South Boulevard), and Boutique Couture (on Vernal Avenue). Finally, at 90 points of style, more people will appear in Café Gallant (on Estival Avenue) and, on North Boulevard, in the westernmost building, Café Triste, and Lumiose Station.

The population of Lumiose City is 416. Its population surpasses the populations of all other major cities in the series by a very high margin, being higher than both {{ci|Nimbasa}} and {{ci|Mauville}}, second and third respectively, combined.
