You can only Terastallize once per battle, and you'll need to recharge before you can activate it again.Ĭompared to the previous gimmicks though, Tera Types actually make battles a lot more skillful. Scarlet and Violet introduce Terastallizing, a special evolution that turns your Pokémon into a living gem and usually gives them a new type. Tera Types give the game new depth and difficultyįor nearly a decade, every new Pokémon generation has included a gimmick for powering up your monsters in the middle of battling, like Mega Evolutions or Dynamaxing. Scarlet and Violet come with new ways to battle and make your way through the game. I went straight for Team Star, and would have lost the first time through if the demo hadn't supplied me with some overpowered items. Combined with your ability to skip straight to the end of the game, you essentially get to choose what kind of game you're playing - and how hard it'll be. You get to choose which paths you take, and in what order. Here you'll team up with a student named Arven to battle massive Titan Pokémon and gather the herbs that they guard.
You'll have to infiltrate each Team Star base and earn the right to battle the gang's leaders. This path pits you against Team Star, a gang of rebellious students who have set up bases across the region. Next, you can play through the Starfall Street story. Before you can battle any gym leader, you'll need to solve a puzzle or complete a challenge. This works the same as any other Pokémon game: You travel the land to battle all eight gym leaders, then face off against the Pokémon League, the strongest trainers in the region. You choose what kind of Pokémon game you want to playįrom what we've seen so far, Scarlet and Violet have three major quests you can follow, each with its own storyline and gameplay style.įirst, you can take on the Victory Road challenge. Crossing from one side of the map to another takes only minutes. These Pokémon, which look like hybrids between dragons and motorcycles, can dash at mach speeds, glide through the air, swim through oceans, and even climb up sheer cliffs. Nintendo made it clear to me that if you want to skip right to the very end of the game, you can do it.Īll of this is made possible by your "Ride Pokémon," the legendary Koraidon (in Scarlet) or Miraidon (Violet). Nearly as soon as you start the game, you're allowed to go wherever you want, whenever you want. Scarlet and Violet throw that all out the window. You start in one corner of the map, and slowly follow predetermined roads and routes to discover new towns and fight gym leaders. Most Pokémon games follow a simple formula. Let's start with the most important topic: What are Scarlet and Violet like to play? And how do they compare to past games in the series? Scarlet and Violet have a massive open world that's easy to explore
