Wild zone

Wild zones (Japanese:ワイルドゾーンwild zone) are fenced-off areas scattered acrossLumiose City, constructed as natural habitats forwild Pokémon to live and roam. They were introduced inPokémon Legends: Z-A.
History
Three years after the events ofPokémon X and Y, many wild Pokémon began arriving in Lumiose City, drawn by theMega Power emanating fromAnge within thePrism Tower. As a result, wild zones were created as part of the city's urban redevelopment plan, driven byQuasartico Inc. This initiative aimed to create a harmonious environment for bothpeople andPokémon. However, there was also a secret, less publicized reason for the wild zones: they were designed to prevent any potentialRogue Mega Evolved Pokémon from rampaging in the city, thereby keeping them from escaping to the wild. The establishment of these wild zones led to the discontinuation of theGogoat Shuttle service, as Gogoat became skittish because of outbreaks ofwild Pokémon. Each wild zone is enclosed by green holographic fences, with large numbered gates serving as entrances.
However, not everyone agrees with the implementation of wild zones. Critics likeIvor andMable argue that there are risks for both humans and Pokémon. Some wild zones are located in residential areas, putting residents at risk. Additionally, Pokémon may face challenges in adapting to these new environments, which can lead to stress and aggressive behavior. Despite these concerns, both humans and Pokémon have managed to find a way to coexist during the events of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
