Previously Take
A respectable 76 average that never found its audience. Role-playing in the deep end — open world, character builds you'll theorycraft about, and a world that rewards curiosity. Worth it for the campaign alone — the multiplayer stuck around and became its own thing.
About this game
A new adventure awaits within Lumiose City, where an urban redevelopment plan is underway to shape the city into a place that belongs to both people and Pokémon. Please look forward to seeing it for yourself.
Set five years after the events of Pokémon X and Y, meet new friends and rivals as you join Team MZ in protecting Lumiose City from rampaging Mega Evolved Pokémon, uncover a hidden secret within the city, and strengthen the bond between humans and Pokémon in a city adapting to help both coexist.
