The new trailer for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet dropped today and revealed a slew of new details about the next major games in the Pokemon series. The trailer reveals even more of 🍎the games'🐈 still-unnamed region, and evidence continues to stack up that it is inspired by Spain. However, perhaps most exciting of all was the reveal after the trailer debuted that this will be Pokemon's first-ever truly open-world RPG.“You’ll experience a world you’re free to explore at your leisure—not in an order dictated by the story,” a tweet published by Pokemon UK shortly after the trailer debut reads. That means you will be able to go anywhere you like, whenever you like in the new region without being tied to completing various parts of the game's story and earning certain badges. Previous Pokemon games, from Red & Blue all the way up to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Legends: Arceus, have required you to follow a series of events in order to open up new parts of the region, and thus catch new Pokemon. Beat Brock for the Boulder Badge, for example. Or defeat certain Noble Pokemon in each ar🍬ea throughout Hisui, as well a𒈔s achieve a certain rank, before you can move on with the game's story and see more of what the new, or in Arceus's case old, region has to offer.
Even though Pokemon games effectively become open world once you have completed the story, as everywhere you've been then becomes free to explore so you can contin💦ue on your quest to complete your Pokedex, this is the first time that will be the case from the off. That will undoubtedly result in some very interesting tactics being used and lend itself to players having completely unique experiences from one another as they explore the new region in a different order to others.
As well as the reveal that Scarlet & Violet will be truly open world, the trailer also gave us 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a first look at the Legendary Pokemon that will grace the covers of the new games. As for when you will be able to get your hands on them, the release date was confirmed to be November 18, 202⛎2, just in time for the holidays. Yes, that does mean you have almost six more months to wait before you can meet Lechonk in person. Let's be honest, wherever wild Lechonk can be found will be the first place everyone goes in Scarlet & Violet, no matter 𒀰how open its world is.
