It’s been three months since Game Freak announced the 9th generation of Pokémon, which will come to life in the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple games. But since then, in addition to some information and theories gleaned here and there, we remained unsatisfied. A situation that will soon change, with an event just announced!
The ninth generation of Pokémon is approaching
On February 28, on the occasion of Pokémon Day, Game Freak unveiled Pokemon Scarlet/Purplethe two Nintendo Switch games that will compose the new generation of pokemon, which will be released at the end of the year. And who says new generation says new creatures, new intrigues, and new environment.
With these new games, Pokémon will continue its evolution, since we are promised a vast open world, with cities and wilderness integrated in a natural way and “without any transition”. Ambitions that evoke what we discovered with Pokemon Legends: Arceus last January, and which seems to have been the first attempt. The developers also indicated that:
The Pokémon of the region roam everywhere: in the skies and in the waves, in the depths of the forests and in the middle of the street! You will be able to fight wild Pokémon in order to catch them, and thus experience the authentic spirit of the saga in an open world that will appeal to players of all ages!
New information tomorrow!
We do not yet know precisely which region of the world these two new versions are inspired by, but everything leads to believe that it is regarding Spaina land still unexplored by the Japanese studio, which has already set foot in Europe with the United Kingdom for Pokemon Sword/Shield and in France in Pokemon X and Y.
All of the new pokemon have obviously not been revealed, but the startersthat is to say the three creatures that we are offered at the start of the adventure, have already been presented: Poussacha, Chochodile and Coiffeton!
We should learn more tomorrow, since the official Pokémon account has just announced that a brand new Pokémon Scarlet / Purple trailer will be released on the Youtube channel! The appointment is made 15 hoursas is customary for Nintendo Switch games.
What to expect from this new trailer?
The publication does not allow us to know what exactly we will find or the elements that will be discussed, but we are promised new information. Many things may be part of this trailer, but details on gameplay mechanics should only be detailed in a Pokémon Direct.
So what to expect? We can hope to find new environments, new pokemon, and why not an overview of the legendaries of these two versions, which are currently unknown. Let us also count on the fact of perceiving one or more characters of the game, and one or more champions if the arenas as we know them are present. In any case, we will soon be fixed!
