Trainers would have their humble beginnings at a school centered in the city of Mesagoza. Scarlet and Violet has proven to be the most adventurous Pokémon game yet, built with an engaging story for the player to follow as a student in Naranja or Uva Academy that is working on a grand assignment of a “Treasure Hunt.” I relied on the feature heavily to get already learned moves back to use for battles such as Dig, Clear Smog, and Ember, among others. The ability to relearn moves, another feature taken from Arceus, has also made it a lot easier for me to make good movesets for my team. At the same time, it is also those outbreaks that have left me playing for hours without reaching my next destination. Mass outbreaks certainly helped me when I was switching around my team with Bagon, Ralts, and Charcadet, who would later evolve to more powerful evolution forms. Raising underleveled Pokémon is easier to do now as all team members gain experience from battles. ![]() ![]() The feature also makes for some good grinding for those who would change their team often with new Pokémon. Speaking of exploring, the emphasis on mass outbreaks in wild areas makes a return in Scarlet and Violet, which does help in getting certain Pokémon, especially evolved ones, pretty quickly. It also helped me to take a lot more time in exploring the different areas of the Paldea region as I battle surrounding trainers and catch Pokémon in the area. ![]() The map of the Paldea region where players would have to complete different tasks for three different story arcs – Victory Road, Starfall Street, and Path of Legends. The Titan Pokémons, which take a lot from Noble Pokémons and are encapsulated in the Path of Legends story arc, are a fun respite from the conventional formula that Pokémon games usually follow, where the ultimate goal is to beat the Pokémon League and become champion. Scarlet and Violet took a lot of what’s good from the experience of the Hisuian region, especially in how players navigate different aspects of the gameplay. Coming from Arceus, I had a lot of expectations of how the new iteration of an open world Pokémon game would be imagined, especially as it is set in a whole new region.
