In Pokémon Legends Z-A, there is an easter egg that you discover when you actually try to leave Lumoise City. The city isn’t just a backdrop; it’s the whole city. Unlike past games, when you try to leave the city, eventually it won’t let you go. Here’s how this easter egg is revealed to you.

Pokemon Legends Z-A Easter Egg

Head to the train station, which was at the beginning of the game. You can fast travel there if not already there.

Approach the station, and a prompt will appear saying:

A train bound for the airport waits at the platform.Do you want to leave Lumoise city?

You choose “Adieu, Lumiose”. After choosing not to stay there, another prompt will pop up:

Are you sure? If you board that train, you’ll leave Taunie and the others behind….You’ve got unfinished business here in Lumoise. Its probably better not to leave. Do you really, really want to board that train anyway?

Keep choosing to leave the city, and a cut scene will show you leaving the city with a bag in your hand.

And finally, the prompt will appear

This is really it-adieu, Lumoise City…..

And then a strange thing happens, you are sitting on a bench, and a prompt will show, saying:

You are just stuck in a matrix, you can try doing that again and again, and the same will happen. The game just doesn’t let you leave Lumoise City.
