Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet will feature an open world, The Pokemon Company has confirmed. Additionally, we have news about support for Pokemon Home.
As far as a general overview, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are said to “take a new evolutionary step in the Pokemon main series.” Players will be able to “explore an open world where various towns with no borders blend seamlessly into the wilderness.” Similar to Pokemon Legends: Arceus, creatures are out and about everywhere – be it the skies, in the sea, and on the streets.
