After the release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, fans hoped Nintendo and Game Freak could finally be on a new course to transform the Pokemon franchise. From the time he entered the game to the Olympics, the battle between the two divisions of the group’s gang tyre began. He focused on tutorial studies and catches Pokemon in the wild. Well, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet revert to Pokemon for better and worse.
Although Scarlet takes some elements from Arceus, the game compares to the Pokemon-based version of which it had previously appeared. Players will explore Paldea, filled with a lot of different environments, from sandstorms in the desert to luscious green fields. With your handy phone, it’s time to try and become the best you have ever been.
Choose your starter.
As in every Pokemon game, you should select three different Pokemon: Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly. The three starters are still Grass, Fire and Water, but since you have different options in Paldea and choose different places for your start, it would have been nice to have Game Freak finally switch up the starters. We have the usual options at the start of the game. The type of playoff of Scarlets might be a bit difficult depending on how you desire to play the game.
If you picked the starter, your rival, Nemona, will naturally select the Pokemon who is weak against yours. People who claim to know all about Pokemon battles, teasing this to their way around for what they’ve chosen to keep losing their respects. As a student of the prestigious Naranja Academy, you would assume that Nemona would have been smarter than that. Nevertheless, since you have been given your first pocket monster, now it is time to enter Paldea.
Exploring Paldea
Paldea is a wide, large area to explore. Twelve cities and towns will be worth a visit. Unlike those that are used to Pokemon, Paldea is more of a world open than linear. The freedom that the game gives you is another significant change in Scarlet history. There are three major tasks to complete during the game: collecting Gym badges, beating the villainous Team Star and gaining herba mystica. You can either concentrate on beating all the Gyms or becoming a Pokemon Champion or help Arven defeat Titan Pokemon for Herba Mystica.
Paldeas sheer size might be intimidating if you didn’t trust in yourself. If you start playing first, you’ll hear a Pokemon cry out in pain. After rescuing and feeding a sandwich, the Pokemon will grow fond of you and join your team in a unique way. Koraidon is a legendary Pokemon that you can ride across the region, and as you grow stronger, they will be able to cross the entire region.
New Twist for Battles.
Every new Pokemon game adds a little wrinkle to the fights. There’s no better chance that Scarlet is with another player. Say hello to “terastallization” In using a Tera Orb, you can overload a Pokemon and enjoy huge gains in the appearance of a Pokémon. To be precise, a Tera Orb can only be used once – before an actual recharge will come to Pokemon Centers. This new addition adds a layer to the battles, similar to Mega Evolutions and Dynamax from previous games. It’s crucial you use the Tera Orb to determine the effectiveness of your Pokemon by strategizing it and preventing it from being used again.
Pokemon Centers are located in the wild, typically in the middle of city towns and cities. These areas serve as the fastest-travel area as well as a few stops. But, they also have Poke Marts and a craft station to create TMs. Normally there will be a person in suit standing on the outskirts of the city where he will earn rewards for battling some trainers or stealing Pokemon.
Verdict
Pokemon Scarlet is an excellent game that most die-hard fans will enjoy. While Game Freak did not do much to distinguish Scarlet from the other mainline games, there are enough additions from Arceus that make the experience a little special. Pokemon are seen grazing in the wild instead of having random encounters. trainers won’t stop you in the corner of the road to battle. With the freedom to choose which of three tasks you want to pursue, Pokemon has a level of complexity that is very difficult to achieve. However, the Pokemon formula seems to be a stale, so Game Freak should do more to rejuvenate the series.
