Earlier today, a new trailer from the upcoming Pokémon Scarlet and Violet surfaced on the official Pokémon YouTube channel. Naturally, many expected it to be some groundbreaking announcement regarding the title itself. Still, as a Poké-fan, I was confident that the video would contain just a new sneak peek at the upcoming characters and creatures that would be arriving at both games.
Turns out I wasn’t all the wrong, but the trailer wasn’t less exciting. Check the full video below:
In Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, the school you’ve enrolled in hosts a unique independent study project. The theme of this assignment is ‘A Treasure Hunt!’
This new “mode” invites you to explore the open-world feature and seek out your very own treasure! So make your own adventures and… oh! A new Poké has appeared. A crab type, very much like Krabby but in a cyborg version. This is Klawf, a rock-type Pokémon that comes with a new debut ability to the Pokémon series: Klawf’s Anger Shell. This indeed looks promising!
And, of course, the new “bad blood” team is now called Team Star. Even though they look like the backup chorus for an Elton John concert, they also could be your next thorn in your side.
Team Star was formed by the school’s most rebellious students and is made up of several squads. Each squad is led by its own boss, each with its own base scattered across the Paldea region. These class-cutting delinquents cause trouble for all those around them, giving the academy’s students and teachers a hard time by disturbing the peace and using pushy recruitment tactics.
Mela is the boss of Team Star’s Fire crew, the Schedar Squad. As the team’s best all-rounder, Mela fixes any and every problem thrown her way, though her methods are heavy-handed. She leaves a forceful and gruff impression, but her steadfast devotion to completing anything she puts her mind to has earned her the trust of her teammates.

Also, new characters like the Pokémon League Chairwoman Geeta and the grass-type Gym Leader Brassius are introduced.
Geeta is the chairwoman of the Pokémon League, which operates Paldea’s Pokémon Gyms. Among the region’s Champions, she reigns supreme as the most skilled Trainer of all. Though mild-mannered, Geeta still has a commanding presence, and it’s said that anyone who calls themselves a Pokémon Trainer looks up to her.
Brassius is the Gym Leader of Artazon, a town that’s alive with flowers and art. He specializes in using Grass-type Pokémon and is known as the Verdant Virtuoso. Gym Leader Brassius treats Pokémon battles as works of art and is always searching for artistic quality, using his Gym Test to help judge a Trainer’s aesthetic sensibilities.
His pièce de résistance, “Surrendering Sunflora,” is a statue installation depicting adorable Sunflora with somber expressions. Just what these Sunflora are surrendering to is a topic of debate among connoisseurs.
Keep in mind that at a Pokémon Gym, you must first pass a Gym Test before being allowed to challenge the Gym Leader.
The contents of these Gym Tests are unique to each Gym, but through them, you might learn more about the customs and special features of each city and town, as well as what kind of people the Gym Leaders are...
There is a new region to discover in the upcoming Pokémon Scarlet and Violet!
