Lumiose City pages
Due to the sheer size of Lumiose City (hands down the largest city in the series) as well as the huge amount of facilities from boutiques to battles, I've decided to split the page into multiple sections of the city, one for the two boulevards forming the outer ring of the city and one for all the avenues and plazas leading to the middle. The trouble is that in the main story, only the Southern Boulevard and one of the avenues are accessible during the first time arriving there, and the remaining parts of the city can only be reached much later. Right now, the way the pages are laid out is so that the reader knows what to do when they first get to Lumiose, as the page for the boulevards comes after Route 4, where they will initially arrive in. Much later, when the rest of Lumiose is unlocked, the rest of the pages with this normally inaccessible content is revealed.

The problem with this layout is that the player would be spoiled about what the Northern Boulevard has to offer, and that it doesn't cover the sole unlocked avenue the player can go to, which actually contains some very interesting locations to visit. The alternatives I'm considering are:


 * Having a separate page for the player's initial visit to Lumiose, giving directions about what is absolutely necessary to progress, ignoring every optional shop and facility. If it covers everything you can do when you first arrive, then there may be some redundancy with the main Lumiose pages. If we omit the shops accessible from the initial visit, the main pages will be incomplete and force players to jump back and forth between two chronologically-separated pages, which could be annoying.
 * Splitting the places of interest in Lumiose according to category instead of location, such as having a page for shops, a page for services and a page for cafes. The separate initial visit page would be even more necessary, since this format means that each page will contain everything in that category regardless of location. If the reader is still on their initial visit to Lumiose, it could be quite inconvenient to jump between the pages just to find what they want.
 * Splitting the pages into individual boulevards, plazas and avenues. This lets us cover the initial visit cleanly, as the reader is not spoiled about any future content and can find exactly what they can access during this period. The flaw with this idea is that there will be many more pages with uneven content distribution among them, since the amount of services and facilities differ between each location. There's also the issue of places of interest located within unnamed alleyways between main locations.

So, which plan would you suggest to be the best to go with? Right now I'm thinking of option 1, but I fear that the initial visit page would be way too short. T.testLP(talk) 09:06, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
