In addition to new games, Pokémon Violet and Scarlet also get a release date for this year

A Nintendo released this Wednesday (1st) the 2nd trailer for the new duo of games in the franchise: pokemon violet e Scarlet. The video highlights the gameplay of the games, as well as new characters, new Pokemon, new legendaries and the release date: scheduled for 18 November this year, exclusively for Nintendo Switch. h2v42

In the video, you can check out the look of the three new pokémons — the electric pawmi, the Normal type pig piglet and the Grass/Normal type Pokémon smolive — previously released, and other new ones introduced in a previously unseen region. In addition to the highlight, the initials sprigatite (grass), Fuecoco (fire) and quaxly (Water).

The trailer also reveals that the new games bring social functions, such as connectivity between players and exchanges. However, once again, the negative highlight is the lack of narrative and visual inventiveness of the game, which appears to be a retread version of the games Pokémon Sword e Shield, released in 2019 and which, at the time, were already criticized for the same points of the new duo of games in the franchise.

The gameplay appears to be a mix between traditional games and some innovations introduced by the Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the main one being the possibility of interacting with wild pokemon, using stealth and trying to capture it without the need for battle.
