South Boulevard (Japanese: サウスサイド ストリート Southside Street) is a street lining the southern half of Lumiose City in the Kalos region. It connects to North Boulevard, Estival Avenue, and Vernal Avenue. This is the first part of Lumiose City that the player can explore in Pokémon X and Y, along with Vernal Avenue. The other parts are blocked until the player has defeated Team Flare at the Kalos Power Plant and watched Clemont relight the Lumiose Gym.

South Boulevard has three gates connecting it to outside routes. In the southwest is the Route 4 Gate, in the southeast the Route 5 Gate, and in the northwest the Route 13 Gate.

Places of interest

PR Video Studio

Main article: Trainer PR Video

A purple building where Trainer PR Videos can be created, located directly across from the South Boulevard Pokémon Center. PR Videos filmed here can be shared with passers-by and people who have been given the player's Nintendo 3DS Friend Code.

When the player reaches sufficient stylishness, the woman at the right counter will add new video effects for PR Videos. She will add two different sets: one if the player has at least 25 points of style, and the other for at least 90 points of style.

Sycamore Pokémon Lab

Professor Sycamore's Pokémon research lab is located directly opposite Vernal Avenue. It is here where the player can receive either Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle upon defeating Professor Sycamore in a Pokémon battle early in the game, as well as their corresponding Mega Stone. After the player enters the Hall of Fame, they can return to the lab to get the Poké Radar from one of the scientists on the second floor.

On the second floor, the player can change Rotom's forms.

Coiffure Clips

A small hairdresser located opposite the Route 5 Gate. The player can have their hair colored and styled here.

The prices and options are slightly different for male and female players. If a female player requests a styling, she may choose to have the stylist style only her front hair or all of her hair (including her front hair, as a secondary option).

  • Styling and color: $3,000 (, front style only: $2,500)
  • Styling: $1,500 (, front only: $500)
  • Color: $2,000

For both male and female players, the options for colors are the same. In order from lightest to darkest, they are: Blond/Blonde, Orange, Honey, Brown, and Black.

The styling options differ significantly for male and female players. If the player has at least 50 points of style, additional styling options will be available.

  • Male: Very Short, Short, Medium. Additional: Medium Perm
  • Female: Short, Bobbed, Medium, Long. Additional: Ponytail, Pigtails
  • Female (front): Sideswept, Bangs

At any point, instead of choosing a specific color or style themselves, the player may leave the decision to the stylist by selecting the "Surprise me" option. If this option is chosen, the stylist will pick a random style or color different from the player's current one.

Restaurant Le Nah

Main article: Lumiose City restaurants

One of four restaurants in Lumiose City where the player can pay to be served a meal and the server will battle the player before each course. After finishing a meal at the Restaurant Le Nah, the player will receive a reward of up to 15 Tiny Mushrooms depending on how well the player did.

The Restaurant Le Nah is the cheapest restaurant to get into, but only offers Double Battles. It is the first restaurant the player is able to access.

Meal price Meal types Turns per battle Reward for perfect meal
$3,000 Double Battle 2 15 Tiny Mushrooms


Lumi Cab

Main article: Lumi Cab

Lumi Cab is a taxi service that lets the player travel between many stops around Lumiose City for a fee; destinations that are farther away cost more. If the player has enough style, the fare will be half price. If the player does not have enough money to pay for the ride, the driver will challenge them to a battle.

From South Boulevard, fares range from $710 to $4,200 before any discount.

Gogoat Shuttle
