Players who want a clean slate should try and avoid the latest trailer, as it contains an overview of old information, plus some new additions. There may be some spoilers to new Pokémon, characters, and environments that Trainers will visit.
The content may seem familiar to those paying close attention to leaks, such as some of the Pokémon and their new evolutions are shown.
In the trailer, there’s a few previous of the side games, like a timed bicycle race. There’s also a preview of the new Pokémon camp, where Trainers can build bonds with their Pokémon. There’s even a preview of the characters enjoying a plate of Japanese curry.
Players will also get a glimpse at some of the beautiful landscapes in the Galar region, from grassy plains to a dark cave with glowing fungi. There will be plenty of content for fans to enjoy.
As for those who enjoy battles more than camping, there is some footage of the gym leaders players will have to face, such as the mask-wearing Allister, Bea, and Nessa.
Each gym leader showcases their skills on the screen, showing that players will have to take the time to raise their Pokémon’s abilities and bonds to earn those gym badges.
