​

As promised, Nintendo has delivered a new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer, showcasing many of the new features and details of the generation 9 titles. This game will introduce 4-player coop to the series. In addition to that, new Pokemon were shown, including the boxart legendaries. The games will release on November 18th.

​

There are two Pokemon professors, Sada and Turo. Mechanics like sneaking up on Pokemon appear to return from Legends Arceus. Wide open spaces are available to explore, including plains, caves, beaches, snowy mountains, and more. There's an electric-type mouse called Pawmi, a grass/normal-type named Smoliv and looks like an olive, Lechonk who is a normal-type pig, and the mascot legendary Pokemon's names are Koraidon and Miradon. Returning Pokemon from previous generations have been confirmed, with Larvitar, Pikachu, Swablu, Chewtle, and Gengar all shown.

Prior to the debut of the trailer, it was announced that Game Freak's co-founder, Junichi Masuda, will be leaving the company, and now has taken on the role of Chief Creative Fellow at The Pokemon Company. This means Masuda will not have direct involvement with Scarlet and Violet, with his new job pertaining more to the Pokemon franchise as a whole, rather than individual game development.

Soulless but the only good thing was this

I'm a little curious by this, like the look of the legendaries, still have a feeling its going to be easier than pushing my grandma down the stairs though.

Really wish they'd make a more challenging mode, better ai wouldn't hurt anyone

U think I've outgrown pokemon . just doesn't seem that exciting anymore

How long until people realize the amount of effort they put into the animations?
Even tackle has a decent animation now

They seem to have moved on from polar express animation to mostly just animation

It's not you, the games changed a lot since they went 3d.
I'm sure you'll be just as excited again if you go back and try any DS game you might have missed or just move on to yokai watch (it's not really a pokemon clone, but more of a natural evolution of the genre)

( Or play the fan translation of the 3ds dragon quest monsters games! They are great! )

I can only play gen 1-5 lol. So yeah, I think that might be the case

when i saw the cut scene for the legendary Pokemon. which writes something like "not actual game footage." i thought no shit Pokemon cant be HD.

 

[Dr_Faustus]

Goddammit the Weed Cat even purrs. I can't handle this level of cute.

 

[Kioku]

Looks fine. I actually want to give this one a try.

 

[Xzi]

GameFreak basically at the point of drawing their own rule 34 art, I see. If the professors get any hotter we're gonna have to label them fire types.

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

It looks nothing special. Game will still be brain-dead easy. Maybe now I'm in my 30's it's time to move on. Gen 1 4 life.

 

[Ralkila]

And people called the 3DS games dead...

Is it me or has the mouth of Flaaffy at 1:04 changed?
Wasn't it drawn before?

They FINALLY added coop? Took how many generations?

EDIT: Wait didn't Sword/Shield had some light version?

Sword/Shield had 4-player raid battles and that’s about it. This one looks like they’re letting people run around in the same overworld. Progress!!

I'm super excited for this. The new characters look so cute! It's really cool to see some proper representation of my culture in Pokemon - and the punny names are on point. I'm 100% behind raising a team of Lechonks. Can't wait to see more of it.
