The Battle Tower has been present in Pokémon since the second generation, although Pokémon Scarlet and Purple would do without it.
Pokemon Scarlet and Purple It is going to be one of the most revolutionary generations in recent times, with the introduction of an absolute open world, allowing players to choose the path they want to follow in the Paldea region. In fact, the recommended order to be able to overcome the Legendary Path was recently revealed. However, Game Freak also aims to dispense with some mechanics and classic game modes of the license and one of them would be the Battle Tower.
Information comes from Riddler Ku, the filter par excellence of everything related to Pokémon in recent years. According to Khu, always with the cryptic messages from him, the Battle Tower would not be present in Pokémon Scarlet and Purple. In this way, if this revelation is confirmed, it would be one of the few generations in which it would be absent since it was released in the Johto region during the second generation. At the moment, it’s time to take this information as a rumor until Game Freak and The Pokémon Company rule or until the new deliveries arrive next November 18th.
Although it is not a mechanic that has been present in all generations of Pokémon, it is a game mode that has had some success and Game Freak opted to include it in Pokémon Sword and Shield, so everything seemed to indicate that it would be a constant in the new generations. However, it will be necessary to see if an alternative is included for this game mode that presents a great challenge to the players.
The ninth generation of Pokémon would also include new unpublished mechanics
Although Galar did have a Battle Tower and everything indicates that Pokémon Scarlet and Purple will do without it, that does not mean that the ninth generation will be limited in general terms. So also will include new mechanics that have not been seen so far in other Pokémon installmentssuch as automatic fights or wild Pokémon chasing the trainer with enormous insistence.
Therefore, Pokémon Scarlet and Purple will have enough ingredients to meet the expectations of fans of the licensealthough we will have that answer on November 18 when its launch occurs exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
