Lumiose City (South Boulevard & Avenues)

You enter Lumiose via the South Boulevard gate. The power outage caused by an off-screen Team Flare incident blocks the central plaza and Prism Tower until Phase 5. For now, only the south half is accessible: South Boulevard, Vernal Avenue (south), and the bottom of Autumnal/Estival Avenues. That's still a lot.

Pokémon Center, South Boulevard

Full PSS access. Wonder Trade now — your spare Bunnelby/Scatterbug nets surprisingly good early returns. Holo-Caster news updates here introducing Lysandre.

Mr. Bonding (Hotel Richissime, S. Blvd)

Gives you a free O-Power per visit — temporary buffs (Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, Speed, Crit, Stealth, Accuracy, etc.) usable by you and via PSS to friends. Sleep at the hotel between visits to refresh his offer.

Hotels (Richissime, Marquis, Doux)

Each has its own Mr. Bonding. Visit all three this phase for free O-Powers stacked up: Healing, Money, Prize, Exp Point, Capture. They're consumable charges, but stockpile a few.

Lumiose Press (S. Blvd)

Alexa, a journalist NPC, runs this newsroom. She offers a Pokémon-Amie tutorial and occasional rumor flavor. Comes back as a story NPC in Phase 5.

Boutique Couture (Vernal Avenue)

The cheap boutique. You can already shop here — no Style requirement (the higher-end boutiques require Style points from spending in cafés/restaurants). Buy a hat or shirt now; outfit changes are pure flavor.

Stone Emporium (Vernal Avenue)

★ ★ ★ Buy evolution stones here. Sells Fire/Water/Leaf/Thunder/Sun/Moon Stones for ~3,000 P each. Pick up a Sun Stone if you caught a Sunkern/Cottonee later, or a Water Stone if you're running Panpour. This shop is the cheapest source in Kalos.

TM Shop (North Boulevard — blocked for now)

The dedicated TM shop is in the locked north half. You won't access it until Phase 5.

Lumiose Galette stand / Crêperie

Buy Galettes to refill some HP/PP on the go and earn Style points. Style points eventually unlock the high-end boutiques (Phase 5+).

Don't waste time: Lumiose has dozens of streets. For Phase 2, you only need to visit Sycamore's Lab and Café Soleil. Everything else is optional. The city fully opens in Phase 5 — save your sightseeing until then.
