The legendary is your “partner” and will allow you to explore the map
Thanks toa new Pokemon Presents stream, we have new info on somePokemon ScarletandVioletfeatures.
Nothing in terms of major bombshells dropped, but there’s plenty of stuff for fans to unpack.The narrativeincludes“attending an academy as a student,”with the core objective of embarking upon a treasure hunt with “three grand stories.” Of course, one of them is a series of classic gym battles.
Legendaries can be used as mounts, with “sprinting or drive mode” for land travel, “swimming and aquatic” for sea, and “gliding build/glide mode” in the air. You’re encouraged to “ride your Legendary Pokemon to traverse the expansive Paldea region and explore every nook and cranny together.”

Multiplayer was a big focus of the trailer too. The “union circle”enables co-opfor “up to three friends.” You can run around the map together, and footage showed everyone riding their legendary mounts.Tera raid battles are in, borrowing a feature fromPokemon SwordandShield: up to three other players are supported here too.
Named cast members include:
Named Pokemon shown off in the new footage include the following:
A gem-like form calledthe “Terastallizing” mechanicwill be part of the newScarletandVioletfestivities, which “boost Pokemon types, and make their moves stronger.” Every Pokemon can apparently do this, andit can even change their types. An example given was a normal Eevee type that “could” change into grass or water type after Terastallizing. There will be “Pokemon with rare tera types.” As usual, like Z-Moves/Megas and all of their ilk, I expect this to be divisive. Officially, it’s known as the “Terastal phenomenon.”
