The Pokémon Company has released a new gameplay trailer for the forthcoming Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, with 14 minutes of footage.
The trailer follows four different Trainers as they explore the Paldean region, showing the variety of adventuring available.
Most significant is the game’s Let’s Go feature that allows partner Pokémon to be sent off to battle others alone in the world, or gather items, which should make grinding much smoother.
This was additionally used as one Trainer infiltrated a squad base of Team Star, where three Pokémon were sent out to defeat enemies without turn-based combat.
Also revealed was a new evolution for Girafarig called Farigiraf. Is its tail now its head, or is its head wearing its tail? Either way, you’ll be able to ponder that in more detail via your Pokédex, which will now show photos of each Pokémon once caught.
Picnics are a new feature that appear to take the place of Sword and Shield’s curry-making camps. Here trainers can wash their Pokémon after a hard day of battling to increase their HP and bond level, as well as feed them homemade sandwiches. Is that a slice of LeChonk inside a baked Fidough? I’m down to try. Players can also join others for joint picnics online.
