Now for what you've been waiting for. Scarlet and Violet. The legendaries turn into bikes now. They can also fly. And surf. There's lots of footage of returning Pokemon, the new towns and trainers, and some of the online co-op. There's crystalized-looking Pokemon in what appear to be raids.
Miraidon and Koraidon are the legendaries that you ride. They grow wheels when you climb onto them, or gliders when you fly with them.
The game takes place at a school, in Scarlet it's Naranja Academy, in Violet, it's Uva Academy. You'll be studying there where you'll be tasked to go on a treasure hunt. You can challenge gyms in whatever order you want. There's other stories you can involve yourself in, too. Your teachers and peers are important characters and rivals.
Wooper gets a Paldean form, where he's muddy and poisonous.
Fidough is a new dog Pokemon. Cetitan is another new one, who is a large metallic defensive looking Pokemon.
This region makes Pokemon shine like gems--this can give them a power up. Some even change their typing.
Raids return. You don't have to wait for your allies this time.
