Pokemon Scarlet & Violetseek to be quite different from their predecessors in thePokemonfranchise.

So without further ado, here isHow Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are Different From Previous Games.

The Emphasis on Player Choice

With the newest entries into thePokemonseries.

Players are able to choose their own route this time around.

Whereas older titles were a more straightforward experience,Pokemon Scarlet & Violetfeatures many branching paths.

Players can choose three paths or leading story routes this go-around.

The Victory Road path should undoubtedly be familiar to players who are not new to thePokemonfranchise.

This emphasis on the player choice makes these titles stand out from previous games in the series.

The region of Paldea also offers players quite a bit of reward for exploring.

Going to these stations will heal yourPokemonand allow you to shop for items you need.

This adds much player autonomy to the game, letting you explore this world how you want to.

The Terastal System

A new addition to thePokemonfranchise is the Terastal system.

This system allowsPokemonto undergo a transformation that changes their typing.

This attempts to change up the somewhat predictable typing system within the game.

This adds a layer of complexity to the battles as there are more typings possible now.

The physical appearance of yourPokemonwill also change according to their Tera throw in.

ThesePokemonwill begin to glitter and gleam as you use your Tera Orb to engage their transformation.

There are currently eighteen different Tera types for players to experiment with.

Players can also charge their Tera Orb at anyPokemonCenter.

It should be noted, however, that you could only undergo this transformation once during the battle.

Knowing how to use this system will determine your success in battle in the new games.

Pokemon Go Live Event

This system hopes to change howPokemonbattles are fought and add another layer of depth to the time-tested battle system.

With the Tera Raid battle system, players will have to seek help from other adventurers to complete them.

The Tera Raids are multiplayer raids that see players facing off against powerful opponents.

Pokemon Go Live Event

Several new systems complement this new way of battling as well.

Players will be able to team up with their friends and capture these Tera RaidPokemonas well.

A Truly Varied Experience

Players of these newPokemongames will experience a variety that the other titles could not offer.

Whether you want to focus on capturing TitanPokemonor find yourself enthralled with the world itself.

There is no shortage of things to do in this title.

That, I believe, is the element of these games that feels so different from other entries.

If you want to enjoy the world at your own pace, do so.

This open-ended nature of the game design allows for the only limitation on the player is their imagination.

The added multiplayer element is also distinctively different from past entries as well.

Article image

These games focus more so on the cooperative component of playing together.

Granting players brand new challenges to conquer together.

I feel this spirit of togetherness permeates thesePokemontitles, making them more interactive and social than ever before.

I believe this separates these entries from their predecessors within thePokemonfranchise.
