It will be the first open world of the saga.
With the announcement of Pokémon Presents, many people expected that the next great novelty in the saga would come from the hand of Legends Pokémon Arceus with a new DLC, which would finish exploiting the game to the fullest, as happened with the eighth games. generation, Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield.
However, the surprise was capitalized, since The Pokémon Company had no better thing to do on a Sunday than announce the ninth generation in the form of two new installments: Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Purplebeing these games that have the peculiarity of being set in a region that takes inspiration from Spain, as has been seen through various references and tests.
Pokémon makes the leap to the open world with Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple
However, one of the great novelties that these titles bring comes from the hand of its open worldsince it has been confirmed that, contrary to what happened with Arceus Pokémon Legends (which was said from the beginning that it was not an open world despite the confusion and belief of the people), here it has been clarified that there will be no borders or loading screens between the different zones.
And before this we have a brief and small preview of Nintendo, which has made use of social networks to brand these games as a new evolution in the Pokémon saga, since we can freely explore the rich open world without any borders between routes and cities. You can see the tweet below:

It should be noted that for the moment it will be necessary to see how this new world performs, since, despite the fact that it was highly requested, it is true that Game Freak has no experience with these level designsalthough with Pokémon Legends Arceus and the Wild Areas of Pokémon Sword and Shield they have gone step by step.
Of course, it seems that some things will remain, since it has been confirmed that not all the Pokémon will be there, this being something that was already said in its day that it would be like this in future titles at E3 2019, when this change was announced in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
For the rest, it only remains to say that Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple will be released in late 2022 exclusively for Nintendo Switch, at the moment it is a mystery how many new Pokémon will arrive beyond Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly, the three initial Pokémon.
