Tom Bowen is a senior editor who loves adventure games and RPGs. He’s been playing video games for several decades now and writing about them professionally since 2020. Although he dabbles in news and features from time to time, he spends most of his time writing guides these days.
After playing through the rather lengthy tutorial section, Pokemon Legends: Z-A players will finally be free to explore Lumiose City at their leisure. One of the many places that they’ll be able to visit is the train station from the beginning of the game, and it just so happens that there’s a train bound for the airport just sitting on the platform.
If players attempt to enter the station, a dialog prompt will pop up asking them if they want to stay in Lumiose or leave. Naturally, some Pokemon Legends: Z-A players will be wondering what happens if you leave Lumiose City, particularly as the game seems to be trying pretty hard to get players to choose the “I’ll stay in Lumiose” option.
What Happens if You Try to Leave Lumiose City? (Adieu, Lumiose!)
If players choose the “Adieu, Lumiose!” option, the game will ask them if they’re sure, and they’ll once again be faced with the same choice. Choosing “Adieu, Lumiose!” three times will result in the playable character boarding the train and the screen fading to black. However, after a few short moments, it’s revealed that the player had fallen asleep on a bench outside the Vert Pokemon Center and never actually boarded the train. Players can repeat this process as many times as they like, but it’s not actually possible to leave Lumiose City in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. At least not until the Mega Dimension DLC releases, anyway.
