During the trailer, a void is ripped in the sky where\u00a0bolts of violent energy emerge and strike the ground below. Following the event, we’re shown wild\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon with glowing red eyes, an obvious sign not to confront them unless you’re absolutely prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n

We get shots of Ursaring, Luxray, Gyarados, and Probopass, sometimes tied up in a battle with the player’s\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon, but mostly chasing and attacking the trainers themselves. This is the first time in the series where trainers are physically participating in battles.<\/p>\n\n\n

Though the characters in the trailer are only shown using items or tossing\u00a0Pok\u00e9balls, the crimson-eyes monsters can make contact and damage the player in some way. When the Luxray above connects with the trainer, the screen darkens around the edges of the screen.\u00a0We’re looking forward to finding out more about these special\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon and what is causing them to be enraged.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\nIt’s Not All Wilderness<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n
\n
Despite the focus on the open wilderness of Hisui, there are also towns to explore. Here we see the main drag leading to a large building emblazoned with the symbol of Galaxy Team, an organization you’re working for to complete the first Hisui\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex. Looks and sounds pretty similar to Diamond and Pearl’s Team Galactic…<\/p>\n

Also in the towns are smaller buildings like this hairstylist. Game Freak hasn’t tipped its hand quite yet on what kind of customization features this game will have, but my money is on this business being the place to go to switch up your style.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Out in the world, players can find\u00a0camps where they can presumably rest up their team and access items or other Pok\u00e9mon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\nBig Changes To Battles<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n
\n
Pok\u00e9mon battles, as you know them, have changed, and we get a quick look at one of those changes in the form of Strong and Agile Style moves. During combat, when selecting which attack a\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon will use that turn, you sometimes choose to make it Strong Style or Agile Style. Choosing Strong Style will increase the damage of the attack at the cost of speed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Inversely, Agile Style with up the speed of attacks while reducing the strength at which they hit. Adding to the transparency of battles is a list on the right side of the screen displaying the Action Order. As seen above, choosing Strong or Agile\u00a0attacks will update the now visible Action Order and allow the player to plan out their future turns.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\nCharacters And Your Starters<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n
\n
Because the land of Hisui is the past version of the Sinnoh region, you may see some familiar-looking faces on your adventures. Standing out the most is the ancestor to Diamond and Pearl’s Professor Rowan, Commander Komado.<\/p>\n\n\n

This purple-hatted fella is Professor Laventon, a member of Galaxy Team’s Servey Corps. He’s the one looking to create a complete\u00a0Pok\u00e9dex for the region.<\/p>\n\n\n

From the fine folks at Galaxy Team,\u00a0you’ll be given the choice of which\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon to take on your adventures. Mixing up the options from the typical Sinnoh starters, you have Oshawott, Cyndaquil, and Rowlet\u00a0to choose from. A great combination of\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon from throughout the generations!\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
