Exploration in Pokemon Legends Z-A
Hopefully while they nix the manual battle control for Pokemon battles for the gameplay part of pokemon, I'm just wondering about the Exploration on the Legends Kalos region, will it be exclusively Lumiose city or will it be expanding on a bigger note?

So, if it is true that ZA is completely confined in Lumiose City, then where would you catch all those Pokemon?
Especially Zygarde?

They're not rushing it. If it was releasing this year or we had other games made by GameFreak releasing this year, I might've believed it was all in Lumiose, but they seem to actually want to make the game good.
Kalos is getting the respect it deserves after being left with only XY for an entire decade. After it being the only region with no sequel, no remake, no upgraded versions, no DLC, it's finally getting something, and they're actually trying to give themselves time to make it instead of rushing it to make merchandise like the previous games for the past few years.

Maybe they will showcase what happened to her if it be the past.

Being confined to Lumiose City isn’t as big an issue as it may seem. Lumiose happens to be one of the biggest cities in any Pokémon game. Additionally, if this game takes place in the past and has us witness Lumiose City being built from the ground up, then we could catch Pokémon in the early game at least. Alternatively, they could have wild Pokémon in more secluded places, or they might not focus on catching at all!
Creativity can stem from limitation. Many games take place mostly in a single city, some of which are some of the most renowned games of all time or hidden gems or fan favorites. More generally, limitations have led to some of the more memorable locations in gaming. Isle Delfino has a tropical tourist theme, but that hasn’t hindered the developers’ creativity. Instead, they made areas like Rico Harbor, Pinna Park, and Delfino Plaza, and other areas that are brimming with creativity while also fitting the theme. And Lumiose City has plenty of locations in X and Y: shops, plazas, hotels, alleys, restaurants, cafes, and more specific places like the professor’s lab, Trainer PR studio, the Battle Institute, the train station, and Prism Tower in the center of the city. We can also assume that the game will take place at a time of great change for the city, which will almost certainly lead to many events and situations for the player to get involved in. So there’s a lot of potential that Lumiose City has in terms of story.
