Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Region Name And New Gameplay Revealed

New information on the upcoming Pokémon title has been hard to come by recently, but all that changed with the reveal of the new trailer for the game at the Pokémon Presents event. The trailer has revealed tons of new information regarding the game, with one of the most sought-after pieces of information being the Region name, which is now confirmed to be called the Paldea region.

Based on the trailer, players will be able to explore Paldea as they see fit, and while they can do the typical Pokémon quest of defeating the eight gym leaders and becoming the champion of the Paldea region. Players will also partake in a "Treasure Hunt" independent study project for their school.

As players venture throughout Paldea, they will also be interacting with the new gameplay mechanics and gimmicks that the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are unique for. A new mechanic involved is the use of the legendary Pokémon, Koraidon, and Miraidon in their "motorcycle" forms to traverse and explore the region, whether by land, sea, or sky.

Scarlet and Violet also see a new gimmick introduced called the Terestal phenomenon, which allows players to change the type of their Pokémon on the fly as they battle with them. These work by throwing a special Pokeball at your Pokémon during the battle that allows them to "terastallize" which buffers their moves and boosts their type.

Last but not least, an exciting aspect of gameplay will see the implementation of raid battles that allow for co-op play. Scarlet and Violet will allow for up to 4-player co-op, and let players participate in raids with their friends and catch some rare Pokémon that are only available during these raids, along with some unique items and of course gain tons of experience.
