Today's Pokémon Violet and Scarlet trailer has revealed key details about the upcoming Nintendo Switch games, such as a series-first ability to explore the game's world in a party of four players.
Speaking of the game's world, this will be the first Pokémon role-playing game where you can freely explore the entire map from the off - and "not in an order dictated by the story", as The Pokémon Company clarified today.
"Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet allow multiplayer gameplay with up to four players," The Pokémon Company said. "Along with series staples, such as trading and battling Pokémon, you will be able to explore the various locations of the region in these games with other players. You can discover new Pokémon and explore unfamiliar areas with your friends and family, opening the door to an adventure more precious and fun than ever!"
