World Overview | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet 

It’s actually really interesting you won’t have to wait for your teammates in the raid battles! I can already SEE the chaos.

I was just thinking, it would be even cooler for open world if there was more than 8 gyms. In the original pokemon anime, they mentioned that there were more than 8 gyms but you only needed to collect 8 to go to the pokemon league. If they had more than 8 gyms, and you could choose which 8 to do, that would increase the replayability.

Love how they’ve kept the open world nature of Arc and brought back the traditional gym challenges

I gotta admit I was very very sceptical, but I am very happy to see they expand on features like playing with friends and open world. Also love that they FINALLY let us walk our own route, and decide which gyms to take on. This is a great step towards the future of pokemon.

What's cool about new poison Wooper is that its mutation makes sense, as some of the "Johtonain" Wooper's dex entries mentioned it coating itself with a toxic film when walking on land.

I like the idea of having three different stories to follow. the first one being the gym challenge. The second one seems to be the treasure hunt. And the third one might be the regional evil team. And I like that you can do them all at once one at a time or switch back-and-forth between them

I’m so happy to see both Gogoat and Donphan making a return to the regional Pokédex.

Maybe it’s because i haven’t played a full fledge game in ages but i am honestly so hyped for scarlet and violet, i love the character designs, the storyline’s have a whole bunch of potential, the pokémon that we’ve seen so far are great, sprigatito is perhaps my favourite starter designed ever and while i’m not rlly used or bothered by raids or the strengthening gimmick this year round, i am still very excited for multiplayer

Here’s some explanation for those who’re interested. Paldea comes from the Spanish word “aldea” which means village or hamlet, and the p is either for Pokémon or “pals”. Cetitan gets its name from titan and cetaceans, the scientific term for whales and porpoises. And finally terastilization likely comes from the Spanish word “terraustral”, which means earthbound, which does kinda go along with the crystalized motif.

Facing the Gym Challenge in any order you choose is what I am looking forward to the most. Feel like this will change the way you play the game entirely!

I think someone already said this but but would be cool if the levels of tye gyms scaled with how many badges you have and it would change thier team depending on how many badges you have so you can truly pick which one to do first

This new Pokémon concept looks great hope they have Dratini somewhere easily to be found. All time favorite Pokémon evolution

I think Koraidon's frontal fur is not supposed to be a wheel. It's just there to resemble one. Since it's an organic pokemon and not a mechanical one, that can't really rotate like a wheel since it doesn't have a hub.

I hope we can actually make use of the open world. An amazing option for that would be secret bases!

I’m so glad gogoat is returning it’s my favorite grass type that isn’t a starter

First I was very skeptical. But this gen looks like loads of fun

Cetitan is so dang weird, definitely the most unique Gen 9 'Mon we've seen so far! Slush Rush and Thick Fat are great Abilities as well, hoping they can see some play with perhaps a Tera Steel Form! I do sincerely wonder if they'll have a dolphin pre-evo. Also, how is nobody talking about 3:29? We got a dumb photo mode!!!!!! I love stuff like that! Alola Photo Club 2 baybeeeeeee!!!!!

5:10 The reflection of Gardevoir in the surrounding crystals is pretty cool. 💠

Love everything thus far but the the legendaries 😂 I still can’t wrap my head around them but maybe they’ll surprise me

From what it looks like it we’ll be getting the legendarys early to mid game

Instead of these crystal things of other gimmicks, I really wish they just stood with mega evolutions and continued to make more cool forms for pokemon. That was such a cool concept and created some amazing looking pokemon. These crystal crowns all look the same :(

Oh it’s a recap. You guys nearly gave me a heart attack.

I'm really curious to see an in depth video on character customization options. One of my favorite things from previous games was clothing options, and I'm not really seeing that in any of the ads.

We really did not need another gimmick clone of mega evolution in battling. What we really needed is a variety of difficulty options so people that are long time fans have a challenge when playing this game. Also another battle frontier would definitely make me more interested in this game

I wouldn’t mind Koraidon running and not using wheels if his tail was flowing behind him like an animal but because it’s a second wheel it looks really weird just dangling between his legs I wish it was like Miraidon. Like go all in with it’s crazy design

I officially don't know what to expect anymore. I'll just clear my mind completely until the game's release

I’m exited for this new region. I think this may be the first Pokémon game where the legendary is found at the start of the game, rather than at the end of the game.

Really digging the character designs in this one!

I know people have gripes with koraidons wheels not moving, but I think the idea here is that both the legendaries are trying to mimmick a motercycle in their own way. Miraidon being a robot can do it no problem while koraidon probably only can mimic the look but not the actual function

Hype!!!! Theres more to the story than just the gyms? I'm down. Love to see a lot of OG pokemon including new ones and open world ofc had me loving legends... just 3 more months

Terastals mechanics and open world sound wicked cool but I'm mostly here for Professor Turo who's looking hella fine.

Kanto, Johto, Honnen, and Shinnoh regions were all based in Japan Unova region was based in America Kalos region based in France Alola Region was based in Hawaii Galar Region was based in UK/Scotland And the Paldea region is based in Spain and Portugal. I love how each region is based on a different culture😊

I’m hoping for some character customization like hair and accessories. I’m not a big fan of the school uniform but I like the independent study concept.

I’m loving these open world games it’s making me feel like I’m in the actual show

0:45 That BGM with the bagpipes

Dang, a Recap. I thought we were getting some more information already. But the game looks pretty impressive and I am very excited! these games look like they will be better and more fun than SWSH were

The only thing I'm not really crazy about is the Terastal mechanic. The idea is interesting (kind of like Hidden Power with a few buffs), but the visuals that go with it aren't doing it for me. They just get a crown and an overcoat of crystal, and that's it. The area where you fight raids look pretty cool, though.

Love this so much, really looking forward to a lot of gameplay even if the secondary plot lines inevitably require a dlc, really interested in the open world aspect and super excited for a more mega evolution style pokemon boost as opposed to z moves

I love koraidon having wheels and not using them.

I am hoping in vain that one of the possible "stories" involves Contests, but then I'm also probably one of a handful of people that would absolutely buy a game completely focused on pokemon contests, albeit more in-depth. Also hoping Banette is one of the available pokemon, because I just want my beloved spooky doll to be in my team =C

Miradon and Koraidon look cool enough, but we better have the ability to do an AKIRA slide on them at one point.

So many particle effects. Can't wait for all the frame dips!

2:55 lol love how they walk

A non-linear pokemon gym journey has me very excited! Not sure how any sort of level scaling will apply but I'm open minded :D

friendship ended with Lechonk, now Fidough is my best friend

Although I’m still a little nervous about the graphics and difficulty, this genuinely looks much better than previous installments. The tera types look great and much more memorable than e.g gigantomax and im so excited for co-op and open world play! I just hope the open world doesn’t feel too cheap or empty

What keraidon looks like when he jumps up (not in running form) is the best way to have his wheel-looking anatomy. It’s there but doesn’t look ridiculous…

4:19 just imagine how cool that would look on Chandeleur!

I'm still hoping in a couple of months of what Sprigatito🌿, Fuecoco🔥 and Quaxly💧 will look like in their middle and final evolved forms in their Tera Type.

5:57 Narrator: "We've kept all the things you love about Pokemon, while evolving the adventure you can have in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet." Me: Sad because no Mega Evolution and no National Dex

At 02:00 the voice over lady refers to the Pokemon professors, Sada and Turo as "research legends passed on"... So that kind makes me think that they're either dead or no longer the current pokemon professors If you analyze their appearances and names you'll see that their names are shortened words for the Spanish words for Past and Future respectively and their outfits are of that of a caveman and scientist.... So my personal theory is that through some accident or something : Prof. Sada was sent back into the past While Prof. Turo was sent well into the future And due to that inconvenience we won't actually get to meet them but instead receive some sort of video message from them some way, some how. That explains why we don't actually see any scenes of the trainer interacting with the Professors in the trailers like we do for Namona or clevell Just a theory.... A GAME THEORY!!!

I didn’t think people would take so much issue with Koraidon‘s “wheels” not being used like Miraidon’s wheels, so I want to mention two things. The website mentions it’s “wheel” is used as a floatation device when swimming and not for driving like Miraidon. I also speculate that it will help it climb up mountains seeing the spikes on it and the conformation of climbing in the game.

So is this where the Crystal Onix came from? If so it finally makes sense with the tetra types.

A better Multiplayer experience was what I was hoping for, especially with multiple people and not just 1. I wish you could do the entire storyline together, but at least this is a step in the right direction. I’ll enjoy cruising around with friends and catching mons.

Next Pokemon game gimmick: Transformarize: "Take it to the skies with Eevees helicopter form, making it a flying type."

I’m so pumped for the Paldea region. One thing I love is that we have an Open World in the Core Series. However, what I’m most excited about is that Miraidon & Koraidon are MOTORCYCLE DRAGONS!!! Most of all I love that this game decides that you can chose your own story.

I absolutely love the reworked textures. Pokémon actually look like they have fur or scales and some look Metallic like Scizor. A lot of people's big complaint with the 3D models was that they looked flat and not alive. This addresses that and I hope Gamefreak keeps listening to the fans!

2:35 Gotta say, Wilma flinstone leaving Fred to become a Pokémon trainer is pretty cool.

5:30 Interesting that we see those 3 Pokémon use the same move here, I'm not sure if there's currently a move that all 3 of those Pokémon can learn. Perhaps there's a new move that any Pokémon can learn, and the type of it depends on the Pokémon's Tera type.

The website implies that you can do the gyms in any order, but there's an actual proper order to do them in. I believe the solution should be that the pokemon in the wild, and the gyms, should scale based off of the number of badges obtained. This concept isn't foreign to gamefreak. In BDSP's underground the wild pokemon's encounters and levels changed based off badge. If this sort of system is implemented this game would truly feel like an open world game, in the "Champion rank story" sense at least.

Koraido is giving me Flintstones vibes with the whole wheels but running

Oh my god I’m so excited for these games, just waiting to find out what the fossil Pokémon will be. Maybe a Baryonyx and Iguanodon? Concavenator or even Pelecanimimus?

2:20 For a trainer who isnt good at battling his pose and expression for what looks to me his pose for battle. He's quite fired up almost as if he's anticipating this battle of what he has to say 🤔. Sorta reminds me of somebody with that big backpack of his..

I don’t get why people don’t like koraidon just because the things on it’s chest and it’s tail don’t act as wheels. Personally it makes me love it more cuz it makes it look more derpy and funny when it runs in my opinion

Trainer: let's go Karaidon: yabba dabba do!

I am so excited for these games. I had somewhat low hopes considering the past few games (save for Legends Arceus) but these trailers look AMAZING

Tera types seem so badass and awesome can’t wait!!

I hope we get the legends at the very beginning of the game. That’s what it’s looking like. It’s a very unique change that I’d love to see. Instead of only getting the legend in the dramatic end of the game when you’ve proven yourself worthy or something, you start your journey with them, growing closer together along your adventure. I also love that you can ride them

When you think about it, koraidon and miraidon’s movements are similar to the ride pokemon in legends arceus. They can ride like wyrdeer, swim like basculegion, climb like sneasler, and glide like hisuian braviary. We don’t know if ursaluna’s ability will be part of koraidon and miraidon though.

Having no set path is going to open up so many new possibilities- you can actually feel like you're in the world of Pokémon as a character, instead of just a real person sitting in your home playing a video game

Can't wait for these games. Getting one of them for Christmas.

I can't say with absolute certainty, but I'm like 99% sure the voice actress doing the voice over is Hilary Thomas, the same voice actress who voiced Anabel of the Battle Frontier back in the gen 3 anime. Tried finding credits attributed to her in the presentation and this video along with the other voice actors of the presentation just out of curiosity and interest, but I've been unable to find any credits at all confirming that is her. Anyone care to weigh in or point out credits somewhere I haven't thought to look/might have missed. Also Crystal Onix will now be real.

Never thought I see the day where a legendary Pokémon was an actual car, but then again, we have Pokémon made of keys.

1:33 I just realized something. Grusha has an ancestor in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. They look just like Melli and everybody thought that they were girls at first glance as well.

I honestly really like the new twists on pokemon, since I’ve played the original games 93892028274848 billion times and this makes it exciting, different, yet familiar enough to love

Koraidon and Miraidon are like the Pokemon version of Transformers. :) And that Terastral mechanic, when the Pokemon use it, they look like crystal glass sculptures. :)

This is one thing I want this holiday season!

This Honestly is getting me back into Pokemon. last game i played was leaf green. im getting excited again

4:30 There is a cursor on the top left. They forgot to turn on “hide cursor” in OBS!

The Paldea is definitely going to be a favorite map of mine. Can't wait to challenge the Paldea Gyms and explore the giant Paldea Region with my friends. Also, gonna challenge Grusha's gym first his design is pretty cool.

You had me at a Pokemon that turns into a motorcycle

I really hope Starmie can have an evolution!!! Or that Staryu can have a NEW evolution! Maybe a new mutation. It would be so cool!! Staryu and Starmie are my favorites Pokemon ever and they deserve better!!!

I’m just glad to see my dudes Houndour and Houndoom coming back to bring the pain. And now that I’ve developed an unexplainable fondness for Alcremie, I want that little goof to make it into these games too. Also, for the love of god please show Raichu some love for once.

6:02 6:12 Is it just me that thinks Koraidon is really cute when it's roaring? I'm getting Scarlet for sure.

I love that I can decide which Gym I want to fight. That is really the best (my opinion).

I wasn''t to hype at first, BUT NOW IT SOUNDS AWESOME!

I can't wait to challenge the Paldea Gyms and explore the big Paldea Region 😁😁

It would look beautiful to have slowking and xernias with their tera form - that means better looking crown.

I like the champion designs but the wheels are so weird 😭😭

Do you think co-op will be online or local or even both? I hope online tbh

miraidon has such an amazing design!! I LOVE the eyes so much

4:32 Top left there is a mouse cursor

The Pokémon have started to evolve to fit our needs

2022 Legendaries : Bikes 2024 Pokémon Toaster and Pokémon Boiler

I can't wait for this game I'm so excited! I haven't decided which starter to chose tho until I see their evolutions!

I'm actually super excited about there being no set order to gyms. I HOPE this means the later ones we try are higher levels so it's always getting harder. This definitely looks like something I'd love to try out since I haven't played the last two entries in the series. Also the Pokédex being a library with books representing each entry is a lovely design.

3:14 IS THAT A JOJO REFENCE

4:30 top left corner the mouse

1:52 Personalized animations for each NPC? Who is this and what have you done with Gamefreak?
