The Pokémon Company anticipated that in today’s Pokémon Presents it would dedicate a large part of the presentation to Pokémon Scarlet and Purple, the new editions of the saga that will go on sale this year on Nintendo Switch. This has served us know a good handful of news very important related to the adventure that we will live in these new deliveries.
To begin with, the region finally has an official name and will be called palea. It will be the first time in the entire franchise that we will enter a completely open world and, as has been indicated in the broadcast, we will be able to go through it as we want without any established order, so that each one can live their own story.
In fact, it has been confirmed that there will be three different plots to bring about. One of them will consist of visiting the eight gyms in the region, defeating their respective leaders and becoming the Champion, which is the mission that we have seen in almost all Pokémon titles. However, it will not be the only one we should pay attention to.
Our coach will be a student from the Orange Academy or the Uva Academy and must participate together with his classmates in the so-called treasure hunt. This will leave us with two other additional adventures about which no more information has been provided at the moment, but with all guarantees they will keep us entertained for a long time.
Along the way we will meet several important characters. Among them will be professor Albora, professor Turo, director Clavel, tutor Cinio, our friend Mencía, a student from a higher class called Damián, a girl from our same class called Noa and of course there will be no shortage of gym leaders, including Grusha and his Ice-type Pokémon.
When traveling through Paldea, we can do it alone or in the company of three other players thanks to its cooperative multiplayer. And they will not be our only companions, because Legendary Pokémon Miraidon and Koraidon will be mounts that will take the form of motorcycles to move us by land, sea and air on their backs.
Of course, the video has left us with some new Pokémon, including a kind of puppy called Fidough, another Ice type called Cetitan and there will also be Paldea forms for certain Pokémon from other generations, as will be the case with Wooper.
Beyond all this, there will be a new feature called Teracrystallization. Thanks to it we will make our Pokémon shine like precious stones and it will give them slightly new aspects, but the most important thing is that it will serve to enhance their attacks, statistics and in some cases it has been seen that they will change their types for others, which adds a more point of strategy to the combats.
In turn, the players will be able to form a team to participate in the teraincursions, similar to those of Pokémon Sword and Shield. The difference is that here the Pokémon will not be giants, but all the trainers will fight at the same time without waiting for the others to act, so we can attack and heal ourselves whenever we want until we defeat the rival Pokémon and thus have the opportunity to capture it.
We remember that Pokemon Scarlet and Purple They have a release set for November 18 exclusively for Nintendo Switch. In just four months we will have to opt for one of these two editions and their initial Pokémon: Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly.
