Kinda unrelated but I still don't get why people hated Lumiose, it always was one of my favourite parts of the game. The music is pretty, having the professor's lab in a city was a nice chance after 5 gens with towns (also Sycamore's theme is god tier, but that's another thing) and the idea of exploring a city that actually dwarfs you in Pokemon was great (Mesagoza kinda gets it too, Wyndon tried but it's sadly three hallways), also the movement was fun and satisfying because we had rollerskaters, such a small but nice feature I don't know why we have never gotten it back, as well as the bike (iirc) and we could even mount Gogoat or call a taxi if you felt extra lazy and just wanted to pick a location and teleport instantly.
I know people complained over getting lost, but honeslty I don't get how you could possibly have that problem, all the relevant landmarks to the plot are in places where at best you will be running a straight line for a few seconds to get if you don't locate it mentally, the plazas are one right next to other for easy reference, and going into an avenue to ""lose"" yourself shopping was literally the point of the parisian experience, I miss going to buy a stone, then get some juice and since I'm around take a tour for the boutique and see what new clothes I can afford.
Idk, maybe I'm the weird one, but Lumiose made me felt part of the Kalos region in the pokémon world, so I'm glad we are getting a game dedicated to expand that.
