'''Lumiose City''' (Japanese: '''ミアレシティ''' ''Miare City'') is a large city acting as a prominent central hub located in the north-central part of the [[Kalos]] [[region]], known for being the second most populous city in the currently known [[Pokémon world]], behind [[Mesagoza]].

Famous for its landmarks like the [[Prism Tower]] and the [[Lumiose Museum]], the city attracts many tourists. Its diverse shops, cafés, and restaurants are popular among both visitors and residents. The city's architecture features tall office buildings and wide boulevards on the outskirts, with smaller {{wp|Paris}}ian-style buildings lining the inner avenues. The Saison Canal runs diagonally through the city, and the roadways accommodate both automobiles and {{p|Gogoat}} traffic.

The 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. It is connected to [[Kiloude City]] via train from {{DL|North Boulevard|Lumiose Station}}.

Initially in {{g|X and Y}}, a blackout restricts access to most of the city, leaving only the South Boulevard open and suspending the [[Lumi Cab]] service. Full access is restored once the blackout is resolved.

It is the setting for [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], where the city is undergoing redevelopment by [[Quasartico Inc.]] to create a harmonious environment for [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Slogan==
'''''The City of Light''''' (Japanese: '''{{Ruby|光の都|ひかりの　みやこ}}''' ''The city of light.'')

</div>

The whole of Lumiose City is shaped like a spoked wheel. The outside "wheel" is split into [[North Boulevard|North]] and [[South Boulevard]]s, 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 a wide, open area with Prism Tower at its center.

In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, Lumiose City is undergoing an urban redevelopment plan, driven by a large corporation called [[Quasartico Inc.]] The city has been outfitted with "[[wild zone]]s" in an effort to help humans and Pokémon share the city.

===South Boulevard===
{{main|South Boulevard}}
[[File:Lumiose City South Boulevard Map icon.png|thumb|Location of South Boulevard]]
South Boulevard is the southern half of the outer rim of the Lumiose City. The two boulevards are divided by the [[Saison Canal]] that runs through the middle of the city. Locations on South Boulevard include the [[Trainer PR Video|PR Video Studio]], [[Professor Sycamore]]'s [[Pokémon Research Lab (Kalos)|laboratory]], and [[Coiffure Clips]].  

South Boulevard and [[Vernal Avenue]] are the first parts of Lumiose City that the player can explore in Pokémon X and Y. Due to a blackout affecting Lumiose City, the other parts are blocked until the player has defeated [[Team Flare]] at the [[Kalos Power Plant]] and has watched [[Clemont]] relight the [[Lumiose Gym]]. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the player first arrives in Lumiose City by landing at [[Gare de Lumiose]], a train station that has been constructed in South Boulevard.

Café Soleil and the {{rt|5|Kalos}} gate are inaccessible until the player has talked to Professor Sycamore at the Sycamore Pokémon Lab in Pokémon X and Y. This is the first area to be unblocked during the course of the story.

South Boulevard is laid out as follows, moving along the street in a clockwise direction:

===North Boulevard===
{{main|North Boulevard}}
[[File:Lumiose City North Boulevard Map icon.png|thumb|Location of North Boulevard]]
North Boulevard is the northern half of the outer rim of the Lumiose City. The two boulevards are divided by the Saison Canal that runs through the middle of the city. Locations on North Boulevard include the Galette Stand, [[Lumiose Museum]], [[Hotel Richissime]], the [[Battle Institute]], Lumiose Station, and the [[Looker Bureau]] in Pokémon X and Y. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the Looker Bureau has been relocated and the Lumiose Station does not appear to be present; instead being replaced by [[Gare de Lumiose]] in South Boulevard.

North Boulevard is laid out as follows, moving along the street in a clockwise direction:

===Avenues===
Four avenues in Lumiose City connect the boulevards to Centrico Plaza. These avenues are connected by a continuous ring of roads to each plaza in Pokémon X and Y, while these connecting thoroughfares are less prominent with the more complicated city design in Pokémon: Legends Z-A. Groups of randomly battleable {{pkmn|Trainer}}s lurk around alleyways connected to the avenues in Pokémon X and Y.

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 away from Centrico Plaza.

===Sectors===
Sectors are introduced in Pokémon Legends: Z-A as the wedge-shaped location between each avenue (and Saison Canal as a border of a sector on the right) which encompass each of the five small plazas around Centrico Plaza. There are five sectors: Vert Sector, Bleu Sector, Magenta Sector, Rouge Sector, and Jaune Sector. Each of the sectors are divided into numbered sections (such as [[Vert Sector 1]]).

===Plazas===
Lumiose City has six different plazas: [[Centrico Plaza]] is a large plaza located at the very center of the city, while the other five smaller plazas are arranged as the points of a pentagon centered on Centrico Plaza. The plazas are connected as a pentagon by small alleys that cut across the avenues. The alley between [[Vert Plaza]] and [[Jaune Plaza]] includes a bridge over the southeast end of the Saison Canal; [[Magenta Plaza]] itself is built on a bridge over the northwest end of the Saison Canal.

Each of the small plazas is named after a color in French. All of the small plazas contain an obelisk of the same color as the name of that plaza in Pokémon X and Y. The obelisks are retained only in [[Bleu Plaza|Ble]]u and Magenta Plazas in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and are instead white in color. During the events Legends: Z-A, each plaza is eventually turned into a [[wild zone]].

Centrico Plaza is located in the center of Lumiose City. The [[Prism Tower]], which hosts the [[Lumiose Gym]] in Pokémon X and Y, is at the center of the plaza. There is a [[Photo Spot]] at Prism Tower, between the connection to [[Vernal Avenue]] and the alley to Vert Plaza. In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], the tower and surrounding plaza are initially undergoing construction, and are later converted to [[Wild Zone 20]] after damage to the Prism Tower.

===Streets===
Named streets are introduced in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, although these thoroughfares are present in Pokémon X and Y. Much like avenues, streets begin from the boulevards and continue centrally, although they are slightly smaller in size and may not continue all the way through to Centrico Plaza. They are named the same as the plazas that the streets connect to. 

====Places of interest====
Although unnamed in Pokémon X and Y, locations that can be visited at the location of these streets include [[Café Cyclone]] on [[Vert Street]], [[Trevor]]'s house on [[Jaune Street]], and the [[Looker Bureau]] (initially just a vacant storefront) and [[Sushi High Roller (Lumiose City)|Sushi High Roller]] on [[Rouge Street]]. 

In Pokémon X and Y, the Magenta [[Pokémon Center]] is the landing point when [[flight|flying]] to the center of Lumiose City which is located in the street leading from Magenta Plaza to Centrico Plaza.

===Gates===
Lumiose City has five gates connecting it to outside routes. {{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.

In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the gate to {{rt|4|Kalos}} is replaced by [[Gare de Lumiose]], a train station which the player uses to first enter Lumiose City. The other gates are closed and cannot be accessed by the player.

==Transportation==
===Lumi Cab===
{{main|Lumi Cab}}
Lumi Cab is a taxi service that lets the player travel between many stops around Lumiose City for a fee, with destinations that are farther away costing more. If the player has 140 or more {{OBP|style|Lumiose City}}, the fare will be half price. If the player does not have enough money to pay for the ride, the {{tc|driver}} will challenge them to a battle.

===Gogoat Shuttle===
[[File:XY Riding Gogoat.png|thumb|right|300px|Artwork of Calem riding the Gogoat Shuttle]]
Gogoat Shuttle is a service where the player can travel between many stops around Lumiose City for a flat fee of {{Pdollar}}200. The service allows people to ride a {{p|Gogoat}} around [[North Boulevard]] or [[South Boulevard]]. The Gogoat Shuttle stops are marked by black signs with blue screens located on the outer side of the boulevards; the player can initiate the service by interacting with the Gogoat Shuttle stop signs.

When the player boards the service, they are asked whether they want to travel east or west along their current boulevard; however, if they are already at the eastmost or westmost stop in that boulevard, they are only given the option to travel to the opposite end. The Gogoat Shuttle cannot cross between boulevards. The Gogoat Shuttle stops at each shuttle stop along its path, giving the rider the option to dismount at each one, until it reaches the final stop at the far end of the boulevard, when the rider is forced to dismount. The Gogoat moves automatically between stops, without the rider being able to control it. The name of each stop is announced by the Audio Guide in the Gogoat Shuttle stop signs.

The following is the list of Gogoat Shuttle stops in each boulevard, listed from east to west (i.e. the order the stops will be presented in when choosing to travel west).

The Gogoat Shuttle service has been discontinued in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, due to the presence of wild Pokémon in the Wild Zones making the Gogoat skittish.

[[File:Lumiose City anime.png|thumb|250px|Lumiose City in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===={{aniseries|XY}}====
{{Ash}} arrived at an airport in Lumiose City with [[Alexa]] in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' as his first destination in the Kalos region. Ash wanted to challenge the [[Gym]] there, but was denied access by [[Clembot]] for not having enough [[Badge]]s. He then fell several feet, where he was saved by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. This is also where Ash had his first Kalos {{pkmn|battle}}, using {{AP|Pikachu}} against [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]. However, the battle was interrupted by {{TRT}}, who was trying to snatch Pikachu. The group was saved by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{AP|Froakie}}, who was injured in the process, and taken to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s lab. Following the events of Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}} going out of control, in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} left Lumiose City in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''. {{an|Serena}} first arrived at Lumiose City at the end of the episode, where she chose {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} as her first partner Pokémon at Professor Sycamore's lab in [[XY004|the next episode]].

Ash and his friends along with {{an|Serena}} arrived again at Lumiose City in ''[[XY008|Grooming Furfrou!]]'', where they went to a grooming salon owned by [[Sherman]]. In ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'', the group went to the Lumiose Gym for Clemont to get the ownership of the Gym back from [[Clembot]]. Finally, in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', the group went back to Professor Sycamore's lab, where Clemont was given a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}, after which they left the city again.

In ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]'', Clemont returned to Lumiose City on his own via helicopter to train for his upcoming Gym battle with Ash.

Ash, Serena, and Bonnie reunited with Clemont in ''[[XY066|Confronting the Darkness!]]'' for Ash's Gym battle against Clemont. However, the match was interrupted by [[Officer Jenny]] who arrested Clembot for the crimes committed by [[Dark Clembot]] and [[Belmondo]], who were eventually found outside [[Lumiose Museum]]. Lumiose University, an electronics store, a high-end boutique, and a 3 star hotel were also featured in this episode. In ''[[XY067|The Moment of Lumiose Truth!]]'', Ash eventually had his Gym battle against Clemont and his Bunnelby, {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}, and won with his {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Ash|Hawlucha}}, and {{TP|Ash|Goodra}}. This victory earned Ash the {{badge|Voltage}}, his fifth Kalos League Badge overall. Following the Gym battle, the group took a visit to Professor Sycamore again in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]'', after which they left the city.

[[File:Lumiose City cliffside anime 1.png|thumb|left|250px|Full night view of Lumiose City from a cliff]]
As revealed in ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Lumiose City would be the site of the Kalos League. The [[Lumiose Conference]] began in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'' and ended in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', with [[Alain]] as the victor. As the closing ceremonies were underway, [[Team Flare]], having secretly taken over the Prism Tower, took control of [[Z2]] and forced it to transform into its 50% Forme. After doing so, it attacked the city with massive roots, causing serious damage to it, Prism Tower, and the stadium where the Lumiose Conference was taking place.

Lumiose City was put under siege by Team Flare, using the roots created by Zygarde, from ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'' to ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. In ''[[XY137|Battling with a Clean Slate!]]'' and ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', after the Team Flare crisis ended, Lumiose City began a process of rebuilding. In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Ash and the gang returned to Lumiose City to bid farewell to Alain, Mairin, and Professor Sycamore before Ash and Serena left the Kalos region for [[Pallet Town]] and [[Hoenn]], respectively. After both Ash and Serena departed through the Lumiose airport, Clemont and Bonnie returned to Prism Tower.

In [[XYS06]], {{an|Cilan}} visited Lumiose City for a [[fishing]] tournament, where he met Clemont and Bonnie, asking the former to take him to Prism Tower. On the way, the trio also explored the Lumiose Subway system. After getting to see the tower, Cilan departed to go see the [[Tower of Mastery]] in [[Shalour City]].

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Lumiose City appeared briefly in ''[[JN025|A Festival Reunion!]]'' as Ash and [[Goh]] flew over it on their way to Shalour City.

In ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', Ash and Goh traveled to Lumiose City for Ash next [[World Coronation Series]] battle against [[Elite Four]] member [[Drasna]]. In order to prepare him for it, they visited Clemont and Bonnie at the Lumiose Gym, where [[Ash's Sirfetch'd]] and {{AP|Dracovish}} ended up learning {{m|Meteor Assault}} and {{m|Dragon Rush}}, respectively. The battle between Ash and Drasna took place [[JN104|the next day]] at the Lumiose Conference stadium. The tough battle eventually ended in Ash's victory, increasing his tournament ranking.

Lumiose City made a brief cameo in a fantasy during Team Rocket's {{motto}} in ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]''.

Lumiose City appeared from ''[[HZ112|Mega Evolution - Roy]]'' to ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]'', where [[Roy]] visited it to become stronger after hearing rumors about [[Mega Evolution]]. During his brief stay, he met and formed a [[rival]]ry with [[Ult]], befriended a young detective named [[Emma]], gained a [[Mega Ring]] from [[Master Mayonnaise]], and eventually {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{shiny}} {{p|Lucario}} known as the "[[Roy's Lucario|Yellow Flash]]".

The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] as a whole arrived in Lumiose City in [[HZ142]], meeting Emma and her new assistant [[Navi]]. While helping Emma in solving the case of a missing {{p|Carbink}}, the children also met [[Ivor]], who challenged Roy to a Mega Evolution battle, which ended in Roy's victory.

[[File:Lumiose City PG.png|thumb|250px|Lumiose City in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
In ''[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]'', many citizens in many areas of Lumiose City were going about their daily lives after the release of the [[Holo Caster]]. Café Soleil was also shown, with [[Lysandre]] discussing with [[Diantha]] about the concept of eternal beauty.

In ''[[PG17|The Investigation]]'', [[Looker]] confronted and chased down Essentia through Lumiose City, before eventually cornering her in Lysandre Café and revealing her as [[Emma]].

In ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'', a parade was held in Lumiose City to celebrate the new [[Kalos League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, {{ga|Calem}}. During the parade, [[AZ]] appeared and challenged Calem to battle. He lost, but was still relieved of having freed from the part of him that had built the [[ultimate weapon]] 3000 years earlier. Hearing this, his long-lost {{TP|AZ|Floette}} returned to him, causing him to break into tears.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lumiose City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Lumiose City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
Lumiose City first appeared in ''[[PS552|They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping]]'' and ''[[PS554|Kangaskhan...Kangascan't]]'', where [[Professor Sycamore]] showed [[Lysandre]] the footage of [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}}'s battle in [[Vaniville Town]], sent to him by {{adv|Trevor}}.

The city reappared in ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', where {{adv|X}}, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, Trevor, {{adv|Shauna}} arrived in the city. Following Trevor's suggestion, the group decided to visit Professor Sycamore, delivering his lost [[Salamè|Charmander]], which they had found on {{rt|4|Kalos}}, back to him in the process. Seeing X's negative mood, Sycamore decided to cheer him up by challenging him to a {{pkmn|battle}}. After the battle, Sycamore gave Charmander to X, and was also surprised to find out that X had come to accept the [[Marisso|Chespin]] he had sent to him.

Meanwhile, Trevor had his broken [[Holo Caster]] fixed by Lysandre, although he felt himself extremely nervous around the man's presence, having recognized his figure from one of the pictures taken during Vaniville Town's destruction. Lysandre later sent his Pokémon to surround the children, but they were saved by the arrival of [[Diantha]].

The group later visited the [[Prism Tower]] in order to ask Professor Sycamore about something they forgot before, not aware that the interview Professor Sycamore had gone to have at the tower was already over. Once there, the group found [[Alexa]] being attacked by the [[Lumiose Press editor-in-chief]], who, having allied with [[Team Flare]], was trying to silence Alexa to keep her from spilling out the truth about the destruction of Vaniville Town. X battled and defeated the editor-in-chief, allowing the group to escape the city. An [[Élec|Electrike]] from the tower became interested in X during the battle and subsequently started following him as the group left Lumiose City.

The group returned to Lumiose City in ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]''. Much to their shock, the people of Lumiose City seemed to be completely unaware of the recent events involving Team Flare and treated them like scum in spite of their role in stopping the [[villainous team]]. Despite this, they stopped AZ's seeming attempt to use the [[ultimate weapon]] again, leading to the weapon's key getting destroyed. AZ then revealed that he was merely testing them to see if they'd choose the same path as Team Flare. Having felt a change in AZ's heart, his long-lost {{TP|AZ|Floette}} then returned to him. Professor Sycamore suggested a parade for the group to celebrate them saving the Kalos region, but they declined the offer, choosing to return home for now instead. Three months later, Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor had all moved to Lumiose City, with Shauna becoming a {{p|Furfrou}} stylist, Tierno teaching the {{tc|Lumiose Gang Member|Lumiose Gang}} how to dance, and Trevor taking over [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]]'s role as Sycamore's {{TP|Professor|assistant}}, while the duo headed to the [[Alola]] region to study the sightings of {{adv|Zygarde}} made there.

In ''[[PS595|Magearna Moves]]'', [[Emma|Essentia]] seemed to resurface in Lumiose City by attacking the [[Lumiose Museum]]. As surveillance camera footage showed the culprit with the {{pkmn|category|Artificial Pokémon}} {{p|Magearna}}, they were initially assumed to be working together, but Trevor soon realized that Magearna was innocent. The [[Mythical Pokémon]] also helped him to defeat the culprit and expose them as a robot constructed by [[Xerosic]] that had reactivated on its own after being abandoned.

[[File:LumioseCityPerfectOrder111.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Lumiose City in the TCG]]
{{main|Lumiose City (Perfect Order 77)}}
'''Lumiose City''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Stadium card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Mega Evolution Series (the Japanese MEGA Series). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Nihil Zero}} expansion before debuting in the English {{TCG|Perfect Order}} expansion, with artwork by [[MARINA Chikazawa]]. A {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator was released in the same sets. It lets players search their deck for a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} and put it onto their Bench; however, if they searched their deck in this way, their turn ends.

Lumiose City is also featured in the illustrations of the following cards. This list does not include cards depicting indoor locations.

==Trivia==
* The shape and colors of the Lumiose City plazas closely resemble the logo of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} in [[Generation IV]].
* All the avenues in Lumiose City are named after the four seasons and all the plazas are named after colors in French.
* In [[Pokémon X and Y]]:
** If the player enters Lumiose City and gets on their [[bicycle]], the music does not change.
** At the [[Magenta Plaza]] [[Pokémon Center]], a young man [[List of cross-generational references|mentions]] [[Team Plasma]] "making news {{game|Black and White|s|a while back}} in the [[Unova]] region," while a young woman mentions [[Professor Oak]]'s {{ga|Blue|grandson}} having visited [[Kalos]] to study abroad. She also tells how he used to say "Bonjour" while meeting and "Smell ya later!" while leaving. The first [[Blue (game)/Quotes|quote]] refers to the way how Blue greets the player while visiting the [[S.S. Anne]] in the original [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|their remakes}}, while the latter quote is used whenever he leaves the player's presence.
** On the second floor of the Fighting Dojo's building, a {{tc|Hex Maniac}} will appear, say "No, you're not the one," and float away.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.jp/special/kowapoke/horrorspot/horrorspot002/ Real Stories - Pokémon Horror Spot | Are they really Scary? | Pokémon Daisuki Club]</ref>
*** In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyfDz36JkkU| The Case of the Sweet Scent Incident] YouTube short, (a "{{wp|found footage (film technique)|found footage}}" style teaser, exploring an abandoned building in Lumiose City, and introducing [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Victreebel}}), at approximately 0:55 seconds into the video a Hex Maniac briefly appears on the far left side of the frame, and lingers there until 1:09, partially obscured behind a decorative design on the window in a room adjacent to the hallway. This is potentially an easter egg, as a nod to the original encounter in X and Y.
*** This incident is also referenced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]; one of the Hex Maniacs in the [[Z-A Royale]] says that she wishes to win in order to find out what that "No, you're not the one" meant.
** In [[Jaune Plaza]], there are two girls who are mimicking the sounds of Pokémon. In the Japanese version, one girl is mimicking the sound of {{p|Heatran}} while the other is complimenting her. However, this is mistranslated in the English version to imply that a Lava Dome Pokémon appears in Jaune Plaza.
* Lumiose City in Pokémon Legends: Z-A has the most [[Pokémon Center]]s in a single city, with nine.
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Lumiose City is "Lumiosian", as seen in the item name [[Lumiosian Butter]].

===Glitches===
====Lumiose City save glitch====
[[File:Lumiose City Save Glitch Map.png|thumb|Map of Lumiose City by Nintendo indicating areas unsafe to load saves in]]
{{main|Lumiose City save glitch}}
At the time of release of {{g|X and Y}}, many players reported being unable to move after loading a save within Lumiose City. According to Nintendo.com, if the player saves the game in certain areas of Lumiose City, then ends the game, the controls will not respond when the saved game is reloaded. They provided a map indicating known areas where the glitch can occur, which includes the entire outer boulevards. On October 25, 2013, Nintendo released a patch for this glitch via the Nintendo eShop.
====Fire Blast camera clipping glitch====
When a Pokémon with a large hitbox (such as {{p|Rayquaza}}) uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in a battle in one of the back alleys of Lumiose City, when the camera pans backwards, it will clip through the building to the right side of the Pokémon, causing it to completely disappear momentarily.

===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Lumiose City|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Lumiose City}}
Lumiose City is explicitly based on {{wp|Paris}}, the capital and largest city of {{wp|France}}.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pG-q-WIYTs Pokémon X and Pokémon Y: Honedge Revealed!] (YouTube)</ref> Its radial layout with Centrico Plaza in the center is similar to the real-life {{wp|Place Charles de Gaulle}}, in which the {{wp|Arc de Triomphe}} stands in its center. However, the building in Centrico Plaza, the [[Prism Tower]], is based on the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} instead. The Saison Canal that cuts through Lumiose City may be inspired by the River {{wp|Seine}}.

The architecture style of Lumiose City is very similar to its real counterpart; Paris itself consists mostly of buildings dating back up to several centuries and the outskirts (also called the Parisian suburbs) were recently urbanized, dating back to the 1960s. Also, like Paris, Lumiose City has roads connecting to all parts of Kalos. The only difference is that Paris' connections to all parts of France are used by {{wp|List of railway stations in Paris|railroads}}.

The renovation project of Lumiose City in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] may be partially based on the 19th century {{wp|Haussmann's renovation of Paris}}, an urban renewal project led by architect Eugene Haussmann, which consisted of widening the streets of Paris, demolishing medieval buildings and creating a more appropriate urban layout with drainage and the construction of more elegant buildings. The [[Quasartico Inc.]] building may be based on the {{wp|Tour Montparnasse}}, and the Lumiose shopping gallery may be based on the {{wp|Galleries Lafayette}} store located at the {{wp|Boulevard Haussmann}}.
