The trailer for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple could have hinted at their new changes.
The beloved Pokemon saga It’s going through a lot of changes lately.. the recent Pokémon Legends: Arceus has shown that GameFreak’s game is looking for new approaches to refresh the already classic formula that they have been using for more than 20 years. That is why When Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple, the new generation of Pokémon that will be based in Spain, were announced, fans were already looking forward to seeing the news that this new Pokémon Legends title could inherit: Arceus. That is why you can already find multitudes of online videos analyzing every second of the trailer in minute detail to try and find out more about the game. And one of these details could indicate the change of one of the most classic mechanics of the saga.
Pokémon centers could be adapted to the open world formula
It all starts when in the original trailer we observe the Pokémon center that appear numerous times. These places seem to have changed their design in two aspects: The first is the light signal above them, acting as a beacon so that players can surely find them easily if they urgently need to heal their Pokémon. The second detail is its shape, more reminiscent of a service station than the classic medical centers to which we are accustomed.
Later in the trailer we can observe a Pokémon center in better detail. It is here that several users on social networks have begun to speculate about the possible reason for the design of these new centers. One of them has been the user @DeltaUminotami, who claims that this is because the Pokémon centers are adapted to the open world formula, and that is why they are outdoors, without the need to go through a loading screen to heal our team.
The reason the Pokémon Center is a gas station is to avoid unnecessary loading caused by entering and exiting the building.
It is very interesting to note that the Pokémon Center inside the City is a gas station.

And from here it could come that Pokémon Legends influence: Arceus. In the latest GameFreak title, Pokémon centers do not exist, but we can heal our team by going to a member of the galaxy team who is always in the camp. This allowed change our equipment or treat it without the need to enter or leave a building and its subsequent loading screen.
Although we still don’t know anything officially from GameFreak or the Pokémon Company, it is clear that fans are already trying to find out as much as possible about Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple. What do you expect them to do with this new installment? Do you want to see any special change or just keep it in the same formula?
