The Trailer Shows Construction Animations

This may be a suggestion that this game will likely be a city builder game.

The Trailer Features City Blueprints

Pokemon Legends Z-A - Futuristic Environment

The trailer brings us to a futuristic sandbox-like setting of Lumiose City where it shows Pikachu running in the beginning and as the scene unfolds, the surroundings begin constructing themselves.

The environment concept is reminiscent of a city blueprint, commonly employed in the planning and development of urban landscapes.

Set in Lumiose City

Pokemon Legends Z-A - Lumiose City

Lumiose City is a City based in Paris. In Pokemon X and Y, you are required to be stylish in order to access various facilities such as the Boutique and therefore acquire Style Points.

In a way, this can mean that the game itself will require you to build things to be considered as stylish. The game may even have a ranking system equivalent to the Style Ranking in Pokemon X and Y.

Lumiose City Region and Generation

Urban Redevelopment and Pokemon

Pokemon Legends Z-A - A Vision Quote

On the trailer, there is a text suggesting that there will be a Vision of Coexistence Between People and Pokemon as well as one showing Urban Redevelopment Plan for Lumiose City

This may hint that in order for this vision to be fulfilled, players may need to actively create the coexistence mentioned in the quote by redeveloping Lumiose City.
