Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Get A Five-Minute Overview Trailer

I think i will get the game late, not day one after some deliberation as other 3rd party games are more important for me than Pokemon games.
Do I still have interest with Pokemon Scarlet / Violet? Yeah, but a little as my current plan is getting Yokai Watch 4++ and Yokai Academy Y on PS4 first during year 2023, Pokemon Violet can be several months later.

I'm planning to buy the game at launch but pretty much entirely because I have like $20 worth of gold points sitting at the moment, some of which are expiring soon. Don't think I'd pay full price for it right now otherwise.

Great trailer. This is what I could have hoped for. A warmer and more childfriendly open world Pokemon game. Just watching this I want to explore to the world.

And I really think the visuals are good. This will make a great christmas gift. I am really happy for the kids around the world, whose first Pokemon game is Scarlet or Violet.

That video gave me SO many “New Pokémon Snap” feels. I’m all for pretty visuals and awe inspiring exploring but the heart of Pokémon is the battling, right? Seems like they want that to be secondary in this game. 🤔 Maybe all they are really focused on promoting is how lovely it looks. But it concerns me about the long term playability and fun factor of the game. Looking forward to seeing some reviews.

@Kiyata The battles are still a big part of the game. You aren't able to catch wild pokemon without engaging them in battles, and trainer battles still remain. All three paths in the story also revolve around battles, with two being based upon trainer battles.

This trailer for some reason made me more excited than the other trailers they've shown. I feel like it's probably because we got a better look at some of the towns and some actual solid gameplay out of this. The Pokemon in these games have never looked better than in this one here, with the models seemingly carrying over the fully modeled eyes and mouths that were found in Legends. The pokemon also have actual fur and scale textures now, so they don't look like plastic, unlike how they did in Sword and Shield.

As for the game mechanics themselves, they look pretty solid. Most of what's here seems to be beneficial for the player and actually worth engaging in. Things like picnics are actually useful, and not just something to do because you want to play with your pokemon and for no other reason.

The world also looks incredibly interesting to explore, and while it isn't the best graphically, it's far better looking to me than Sword and Shield.

This trailer is good! I'm properly excited.

Probably day one for me, as with all other mainstream Pokémon games… however I am a bit concerned about the performance on all videos to date (given how close we are to launch). I do not care much about graphics, but this title seems to be more than what a Switch can chew…

Trubbish reveal when?

honestly though this is the most excited I've been for a new Pokemon game probably since Gen 2 with Gold & Silver

I'm genuinely excited for this. Haven't played Pokémon in years, but this kind of stuff makes me want to so much! Plus, I got a staff appreciation bonus from work, so I can get the game for free, so why not buy?!

Aaah those low resolution textures... I believed they would fix those before release but I'm starting to lose hope...

Maybe it's just me, but the game looks more vibrant in the JP trailers than in the English ones. Beyond that, the lack of anti-aliasing isn't nearly as obvious and there aren't any noticeable framerate drops (on distant charcaters/objects) anywhere.

hold up, did they add any new mon?

@inenai
You expect them to mix photorealistic textures with art style like this? Talk about tasteless.

One of my most hyped games of 2022! Day one purchase for me, especially since my relatives will be playing as well, which means in-game co-op for the very first time!! Haven't been more excited for a Pokemon game in a long time.

Pokemon just keeps getting better with every game, and you really can see the love and effort put into every installment.

Pokemon has been special to me ever since I was little. Only Monster Hunter is a franchise that hits me almost as hard.

The eyes don't look as bad as I initially thought. Now, gamefreak, just don't make Sprigatito's final evolution ugly, pretty please and thank you with a cherry on a top!

@Cia ?? What? Photorealistic???
I expect the flags at the entrance of those sites you raid not to look like an awful blurry mess because they have a severe lack of pixels, those textures are low resolution, realism is not the problem here

I'm looking forward to the review, if only to know if it looks better playing handheld or docked (and if the TV resolution makes a big difference).

Is onyx confirmed for this game? I need to finally have a crystal onyx like in the anime

Honestly can't make up my mind. Part of me want it cause Pokemon. But the gameplay i've seen makes the FPS look god awful, even by Switch standards. And really don't feel like support lazy work.

Definitely convinced this is going to be a great game, can't wait!

Every character showed in this video looks like a lifeless husk. Just emotionless, dead-eyed, stiff-faced puppets.

@ComfyAko Uh oh 😳 you spoke too soon lol

@NinjaNicky yes, I saw what they did. They just love making them terrible on the 3rd stage. Or they don't know how to make them cute anymore.

What bothers me is that there were so many brilliant designs made by fans and all they had to do was to get inspired by them or just make contact with the artist

@ComfyAko fan made designs look really good. I was going to start with Sprigatito. Wasn't a fan of the Donald Trump duck so it looks like obese Totodile for me lol they should do competitions for Pokemon designs and the top designs get made and the designers get paid. They'll do a better job than the people designing them now.

@NinjaNicky yeah exactly. I think they are going waay too much into "weird" vibes instead of just settling for "cute but powerful". I'll try to love my Sprigatito even after it evolves.
