They say this is open world, which is obvious from the trailer, but they don't mention whether the battling and catching mechanics from Legends Arceus will be present in this game.
I hope it's not like the Sword/Shield expansions where it's open, but we still have to just run into a Pokemon and then battle it in a separate environment in order to catch it.

I doubt it, despite the function already being built into SWSH.I wonder if they're gonna consider an exp share toggle this time. With that said; looks amazing. Think i'm gonna pick female this time. Boy MC looks like a baby.

It's more of a playstyle thing. I like having to switch up. I'd appreciate the option. Hope they heard the fans.Arceus works just fine with exp sharing. They just have to balance the game right.
If Scarlet and Violet are going to replace Sword and Shield for the online and general competitions, there will have to be EXP share on/off for EV training, unless the change to EVS and IVs in PLA is permanent, in which case the exp share is meaningless anyway.I doubt it, despite the function already being built into SWSH.
EV training is way easier in Sword and Shield, you just buy vitamins.If Scarlet and Violet are going to replace Sword and Shield for the online and general competitions, there will have to be EXP share on/off for EV training, unless the change to EVS and IVs in PLA is permanent, in which case the exp share is meaningless anyway.
Yes but there is no EV training in Arceus, you have to use grit rock for effort values.EV training is way easier in Sword and Shield, you just buy vitamins.
I don't necessarily disagree, but that is a very charitable way of putting itHonestly seeing the evolution of Pokemon during the Switch era has been fascinating in hindsight. Most series have had their "BoTW" moments seemingly all at once - a really good example here is Kirby, where there's an apparent huge jump between Star Allies and Forgotten Land
Meanwhile Pokemon in the same timespan went through LG: PE, SwSh, SwSh DLCs, Legends Arceus, and now Scarlet and Violet. Each of those kept iterating on what seems to be the end goal of an open-world Pokemon game that we're finally getting with Gen 9. It's a really neat evolution that we've got to experience in sort of real time
They're probably not keeping that just like they didn't keep almost anything from Let's Go.Yes but there is no EV training in Arceus, you have to use grit rock for effort values.
Wonder why they didn't pick bull as a fire starter since it's Spain. And it would be in line with the zodiac theme.Meh
Knowing Japan, "Spain" is going to be 90% Barcelona and Madrid with the other 10% being bulls and flamenco or something
Hoping I'm wrong but the little bit of the map that was visible showed they turned Galicia and Asturias into a waterhole so I'm not hopeful
Maybe it becomes a bullWonder why they didn't pick bull as a fire starter since it's Spain. And it would be in line with the zodiac theme.
Because they don't want to reference a blood sport?Wonder why they didn't pick bull as a fire starter since it's Spain. And it would be in line with the zodiac theme.
I wanted a Fire/Fairy minotaur starter for ages. Shame, but the fire croc could be cool. Coloring makes me think it might become Fire/Ground.Wonder why they didn't pick bull as a fire starter since it's Spain. And it would be in line with the zodiac theme.
it's pretty explicitI see nothing in the screenshots nor video that battles are like Arceus, just that all pokemon are visable.
I wonder what Scarlet and violet are supposed to represent
Saw this, and it's curious

I do hope it'll change theme as it evolves. I liked the idea of Galarian starters had themes that were related to the region in some way.Maybe it becomes a bull
Maybe not as a starter but I do expect a bull pokémon in the games. We still haven't got a proper bull pokémon, despite getting two buffalo ones. Sure bullfighting is a disgusting tradition that needs to end but Toro Bravo is still Spain's symbolic animal.Because they don't want to reference a blood sport?
It's kinda funny that Larvitar looks to be an easy to find Pokémon.more battle screens
LolQuick, someone come up with a fancy name for yellow to be the DLC
Well it was possible find Tyranitar in the wild in Black/White and it was not that rare. They have demoted Tyranitar to Aggron's level in that gen.It's kinda funny that Larvitar looks to be an easy to find Pokémon.
I can see the similarities but Pokemon is lacking a lot of the more extreme stylizationSonic Unleashed shared universe
This is probably too much geopolitics, but I was wondering if they would do Galar region Pokémon in one area. But I don’t think they will want to touch that. I guess we will have to see what the region is and the areas because they could do lots of things in Iberia or the associated Islands that could be cool.Lol
I think the DLC will probably be based on the Gibraltar area or Canary Islands, or something like that.
There are enough Spanish traditions to reference without referencing the one that involves killing live animals for sport in a stadium.Maybe not as a starter but I do expect a bull pokémon in the games. We still haven't got a proper bull pokémon, despite getting two buffalo ones. Sure bullfighting is a disgusting tradition that needs to end but Toro Bravo is still Spain's symbolic animal.
Grass looks great, good balance between the ground texture blending into the actual bladesmore battle screens
Holy shit, I didn't expect this in 2022 at all. And they even Arceus'd it where they could.
Gamefreak devs don't sleep, do they?
