Trivia

• 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 mentions Team Plasma "making news a while back in the Unova region," while a young woman mentions Professor Oak's 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 quote refers to the way how Blue greets the player while visiting S.S. Anne in the original Generation I games and their remakes, while the latter one was used whenever he left the player's presence.
• On the second floor of the Fighting Dojo's building, a Hex Maniac will appear, say "No, you're not the one," and float away.
• The shape and colors of the plazas closely resemble the logo of the Battle Frontier in Generation IV.
• Lumiose City is tied with Hammerlocke for having the most Pokémon Centers in a single city, with three.
• 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 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.

Origin

Main article: Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kalos

Lumiose City is based on Paris, the capital and largest city of France. Its radial layout with Centrico Plaza in the center is similar to the real-life Place Charles de Gaulle, in which the Arc de Triomphe stands in its center. However, the building in Centrico Plaza, Prism Tower, is based on the Eiffel Tower instead.

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 railroads.
