This Friday the advances of Pokémon Scarlet and Purple were announced in various media around the world. Despite some technical defects, the open world of the game looks absolutely fantastic to explore and these 1h30 tests allowed us to identify important information such as how shiny Pokémon appear on screen. Without further ado, here are the 7 things to remember about this entire movie.
Coaches no longer jump on you
Some will like this change, others will not. In Scarlet and Purple, the trainers you meet along the way will no longer automatically surprise you when you get close.
- plus point: This doesn’t stop you in your exploration and you can come and fight at any time during your progress to get some experience points
- Negative point: You run the risk of losing coaches along the way or not wanting to fight them anymore. However, an icon appears above their head if they want to fight.
Shiny Pokémon appear at first sight
As in Pokémon Legends Arceus, the brilliant can be seen directly in the open world of Scarlet and Purple. So you don’t have to go into combat to realize this. That said, automatic capture is not available in this game and you will have to be careful not to send your partner out, otherwise the latter could knock you out before you have time to catch him.
It was Joe Merrick, of the Serebii.net site, who found the only brilliant one of the previous sessions in London. He was a Skiddo but unfortunately he couldn’t film it to respect the embargo rules. Either way, make sure the transparency can be seen without having to enter combat. They even appear to appear on the in-game minimap!
The freedom of multiplayer
While multiplayer doesn’t allow you to progress through the story cooperatively, it does allow you to freely explore the host’s open world and do almost anything you can do in your own world. Therefore, you are not obliged to be in a group of 2, 3 or 4 when exploring and, for example, it is possible to do Remote raids of tech crystals. If a player comes across a warehouse (much like Sword and Shield), he can invite other players to join them, even if they are on the other side of the map.
To identify where the players are, you can use the minimum (or open it completely). You can of course conduct your own battles and catch Pokémon – this will send pop-ups (notifications) to other players.
Customization in abundance
In addition to avatar customization, it offers a lot hairstyles, colors and other styles, Scarlet and Purple also allow you to customize the picnic set that you will use very often to snack and wash your Pokémon. The sandwiches they are important because they give a brilliant encounter or capture bonuses, for example. You can also change the the casing of your phone that gives you all the information.
Long live teleportation
Since we tested a version that allowed Pokémon to be level 25 from the start and features that are only unlocked later in the game, we don’t know if the teleportation points are available from the beginning of the adventure or not. However the famous MO They no longer exist (Surf, Flight, etc.) and are replaced by the famous multi-terrain Koraidon and Miraidon.
And if exploring the open world on the legendary’s back is too much for you, keep in mind that you can teleport to points of interest simply by opening the map – Pokémon Center or city in particular.
Experience and automatic combat
Once again the famous Distribute experience it cannot be disabled. Also, the amount of XP you will get at the end of each battle will be exactly the same each time and will no longer depend on the level of your Pokémon. On the other hand, sending a companion into automatic combat grants them less experience.
Watch out for your partner in automatic combat – even though he can’t be eliminated, he will refuse to fight if he only has 1 HP left. As mentioned above, unfortunately he does not distinguish between normal and shiny Pokémon and therefore risks knocking him out.
Scarlet and Purple kept some nice buffs that Pokemon Legends Arceus took advantage of. We think in particular of power rename easily to your Pokémon or manage your PC directly from your mobile menu. The best, of course, is to be able to do it manage the abilities of your creatures directly from the bag. As for the tecrystallization, you will have to go to the Pokémon Centers to recharge it (it empties after each use, so be careful).
eSport
While he won’t continue in a G2 Esports where he’s completed five seasons, Jankos has no plans to say goodbye to the professional League of Legends. The player greeted the organization with a good tone and announced his willingness to continue competing in the upcoming 2023 season.
