Pokemon Legends Z-A leaks: Lumiose City and exploration changes

According to the leaks, Lumiose City remains a vast urban landscape but is now divided into four main areas: Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Lumiose. Each section is said to contain a Gym Leader specializing in Pokemon suited to that area's environment.

Additionally, four smaller zones within the city will allow players to encounter various Pokemon. While Lumiose serves as the primary setting, players will likely be able to temporarily explore outside the city in restricted wild zones, similar to the old Safari Zones.

The playable characters are supposedly named Brook (male) and Charie (female), and they will likely be guided by Professor Ianidia, an ancestor of Lysandre. Meanwhile, three Gym Leaders — Croiss, Cordon, and Canele — are said to be ancestors of Cilan, Cress, and Chili from Pokemon Black & White.

The game's story may feature a surprising twist, with AZ, a major figure from Pokemon X & Y, serving as a background character before later revealing himself as the villain.

In total, 25 Pokemon are rumored to be getting new Mega Evolutions:

• Raichu, Wigglytuff, Poliwrath, Jynx, Dragonite, Ledian, Azumarill, Politoed, Jumpluff, Ludicolo, Flygon, Torterra, Infernape, Empoleon, Carnivine, Lickilicky, Porygon-Z, Serperior, Emboar, Samurott, Scolipede, Gothitelle, Chesnaught, Delphox, and Greninja.

These additions could dramatically alter the competitive scene, bringing forgotten Pokemon back into relevance.
