​

Yet another trailer has been released for the upcoming Pokemon Gen 9 games, Scarlet & Violet. This trailer focuses on some of the new features that will be included in Gen9.

The trailer starts of showcase the new Terastalize feature for your own Pokemon, as well as Pokemon in the wild being able to be encountered in a terastilzed form, where you basically have to lower the health of the wild Pokemon to remove its Tera form and be able to capture it.
There will be up to 18 Tera forms in the game, most likely each one focusing on a main Pokemon typing, like Fire, Water, etc.

Riding on the main legendaries on the wild, as well as making map pinpoints are also showcased, and they show off a part of the new Team Star base and some gameplay against them. You also can now craft Technical Machines (TMs) right from the Pokemon Centers with materials you get from defeated or captured Pokemon. A small glimpse of the Titan Pokemon quest, and the town of Artazon and its gym are also showcased.

A new Pokemon has been unveiled, this time is an evolution of the Gen 2 Pokemon, Girafarig, which evolves into the new Farigiraf, keeping the palindrome motif from it's original form.
Some other small features, like character customization, in-game pictures, picnics, Tera raid battles.

With only a few weeks remaining until the release of Scarlet & Violet, there's still plenty more surprises to be unveiled.

pokemon is dead just like anime

girafarigirafarigirafarigirafarigirafarigirafarigirafarigirafarigirafarigirafarig.... Nice polindrome!

 

[KingVamp]

Kind of wish the head in a head concept, was done for a completely new Pokémon.

 

[Jumping-Jolteon]

I honestly wish they would bring back the pixel style. Sure, the new graphics are nice, but the pixel style just has more charm to it I guess. More charm...ander. *Ba dum Tss*

I'd say the candle pokèmon looks way better than this thing. Maybe the effing keychain one, then yeah, sure.
Imo, Pokèmon has been on a steady decline ever since the series went full 3d, both games and pokèmon designs just got more and more worse.

This thing, like... I don't see how the effing tail just ends up basically swallowing the neck/head, but sure, whatever, it still looks like crap and stupid. Honestly, the scrapped evo that had the black part become similar to the other part is better, imo.
Uh, maybe the evo could've been the black part becoming bigger and shit and becoming the "main" side rather than whatever they did here.

How about the fish that becomes an octopus? The eskimo that becomes a snowball? Weird evolutions are nothing new in Pokemon.

The real issue is that they've actually kept a rather 'consistent' level if you ask me bar some outliers, and people expect some sort of next-level hyper designed masterpiece. And when we do get them, people act like they don't belong (IE: Koraidon/Miraidon).

 

[Spider_Man]

Looks exactly the same as arceus but this time it has some bits n bobs rather than running around an over sized map repeating the same thing over and over.

Ohh wait, that sounds very familiar, come on nintendo.

 

[Panzerfaust]

this looks so boring...they don't even care. They know this crap will sell multiple million copies.

 

[tabzer]

"...the moment we've been waiting for. Sandwich time!"

 

[tedi1997]

Exactly. Unless you are a die hard fan, there's not much to convince anyone to pick this over any other switch pokemon released lately i believe. Or older titles for that matter

I agree on the weird evolutions, but I more talking about designs. So far, the only decent ones are the starters, imo, everything else is either just boring/uninspired or a trash fire.
Think maybe I would've warmed up a little on this weird giraffe if it was something like Lycanroc that had three forms depending on when you evolve it or what. Like, if it was the middle piece between the yellow part being the main one or the dark part taking over and such.
Just this as the next evo feels... dunno, feels like something's off, but again, imo.

What, the Whale from Frozen Hell isn't cool to you? Or the Armor/Sword pokemon? Hell I love the hell out of Fidough. Adorable little bugger.

Also again, Pokemon designs have always been hit or miss. Acting like pokemon like Witwick or even Klefki are the bottom of the barrel when we gave a literal rock arms and just stickered a pair of eyes on the pokeball design (and flipped it over) is epitome of just complaining because it's new.

 

[Ampersound]

Oh look! it's a low resolution grass texture.
*Camera zooms in on it*
....oh well

 

[DuoForce]

First time in a long time I’ve been hyped for a new entry

 

[ZachariasBarnham]

Me too. This is the first time I've actually been interested in a Pokemon game since I bought OR/AS.

It's Pokémon... On the Switch... Some of you have unrealistic expectations of a console that was outdated the day it launched.

Will be picking up Violet.

 

[chrisrlink]

it's pretty bad (and shows the lack of ideas) to turn the school bullies inito an "evil" team and I thought Team Yell was bad calling it now their plot is to steal your legendary for a joy ride

preordered on amazon scarlet day 1 preorders went live besides the evil team what they've shown looks promissing and will get me back on nso also i swear if Gen X is a freaking mmo i (might) forgive N for the bullshittery they pulled since Pokemon uranium/AM2R (prob not though) I hold a harsh grudge toward them and T2 for their modding stance too

 

[Noblige]

Lost interest in the franchise after the DS games. Came back to see what's changed, and boy are these games rough

 

[BabuFrik]

It's only after watching this trailer that I realised farigiraf is a palindrome. Soon after that realisation i thought about it and girafarig is a palindrome as well.
