The players will take on the role of a prestigious academy student and embark on a Treasure Hunt journey. However, this adventure wouldn’t feature a specific story like the past games. Instead, they would have three stories, one of which is the classic journey to become a Pokemon Champion. But unlike the past games, players won’t have a specific order to fight the gyms.

Scarlet and Violet will feature many new Pokemons like the three starters Quaxly, Fuecoco, and Sprigatito. The latest presentation also revealed some new Pocket Monsters like Fidough and Cetitan. There would be many older generation Pokemons, and some might also get a regional form like Wooper. Also, players will have access to the legends early in the game and can use them as rides to travel across the region.

Moreover, like Mega Evolution and Dynamax, these two games will also get a special power-up Terastral phenomenon. This power-up will boost a pokemon’s stats. However, some Pocket Monsters would have rare Terastral power-ups that will not only give them a power boost but can change their types. Further, players can participate in Terastral raids similar to the Dynamax raids.

Twitter reacts to the upcoming Pokemon game

Undoubtedly, it was thrilling for fans to know more about the game as they had been waiting for a long time. However, the latest revel split the fandom into halves. One looks forward to enjoying the game, while the other half isn’t impressed.
