The games were developed immediately following the release of their predecessors,Pokémon SwordandShield.Developers at Game Freak wished to incorporate a new art style with the games, incorporating a more realistic world design while maintaining more stylized character designs.

Gameplay

edit

Pokémon ScarletandVioletlargely follow the same basic gameplay structure of previousPokémongames, where players obtain creatures known as Pokémon, primarily throughcatchingandtrading,and use them to explore the world andbattleother Pokémon trainers. However, a new feature has been added which allows players to choose to battle trainers on paths.[1]The games introduces 112 new Pokémon, including three newstarter Pokémon,Sprigatito,Fuecoco,andQuaxly,which act as the first Pokémon the player can obtain in-game[2]and two newLegendary Pokémon,KoraidonandMiraidon,who accompany the player throughout the games.[3]

ScarletandViolethaveopen worlds,which include both urban areas and open wilderness without borders between the two, unlike previous instalments in thePokémonseries.[4][2]Players can use either Koraidon or Miraidon, depending on the games' version, as a mount in the overworld, allowing access to several tools that can be used to traverse Paldea's terrain.[5]Players can also use a new "Auto Battle" feature, allowing them to send out their Pokémon in the overworld and defeat Pokémon without having to enter turn-based battles.[6]In addition to this, the player is given the option of participating in three different story routes,[7]and objectives within routes can be done in any order.[8]

The three routes each have different gameplay styles. The first route,Victory Road,has the player attempting to defeatPokémon Gyms,a recurring goal in the series, in order to obtain a badge from each "Gym Leader" after defeating them in battle. Gyms can be fought in any order, unlike prior entries in the series.[7]Once eight badges are obtained, the player can battle the Elite Four and their Champion, Geeta.[9]The second route,Path of Legends,involves the player attempting to hunt down massive and powerful "Titan Pokémon" in order to defeat them and obtain Herba Mystica items.[7]The third route,Starfall Street,has the player attempt to defeat a villainous organization consisting of rebellious students called Team Star. Players must defeat a set number of Team Star members within a time limit before proceeding to battle with their base leader. The player is tasked with defeating five of these Star Bases in order to encounter the route's final boss.[10]Once all three routes are completed, the player unlocks a fourth and final story route, which resolves the games' main story.[11]

Up to four players can participate in battles against Terastallized Pokémon in Tera Raids. Here, the Pokémon are fighting aGardevoirthat has Terastallized into the Water-type.

ScarletandVioletintroduce the Terastal phenomenon, which gives Pokémon a crystalline appearance and changes theirtype,[12]an elemental attribute of a Pokémon that determines its strengths or weaknesses,[13]to match their unique "Tera Type". It also utilizes special moves such as Tera Blast, which, when used by a Terastallized Pokémon, becomes a move of the same type as the Pokémon's Tera Type.[12]These Tera Types can be changed by the player.[14]Players can encounter wild Terastallized Pokémon, and can fight them inraids.In "Tera Raids," up to four players can battle against a Terastallized Pokémon while under a time limit. Players can only use one Pokémon each, and if the Pokémon is knocked out, the amount of time players will have left will shorten. Players can catch the raid boss once it is defeated.[15]Players can team up with other players in Tera Raids using online features.[16]

The games feature several new game mechanics. Players can use a new "picnic" feature to play with their party of Pokémon and make sandwiches, which give a variety of in-game boons. The player's Pokémon can also breed with each other during picnics, allowing players to obtain Pokémon from eggs.[17]Players can also participate in picnics and sandwich making with up to four players via online features.[18]Players can connect with other players over the internet and participate in "Union Circles," which allow players to explore the games' overworld simultaneously with up to four players.[18]Players can trade and battle with each other over the internet.[16]

Plot

edit

Setting

edit
The Paldea region, the games' setting. It greatly resembles theIberian Peninsula,seen below.
The Iberian Peninsula consists mostly ofSpainandPortugal,which heavily inspired the design for the Paldea region.

Pokémon ScarletandVioletare set in the Paldea region of thePokémonuniverse, which appears to be loosely based on theIberian Peninsula.[19][20]The region features diverse landscapes including lakes, wastelands, and mountain ranges.[1]A large crater, called the Great Crater of Paldea, lies in the center of the region. Inside the Crater is an area named Area Zero.[21]

Story

edit

InScarletandViolet,the player attends either the Naranja (Scarlet) or Uva (Violet) Academy, which has an annual "Treasure Hunt" that encourages students to seek something they treasure by exploring the region. After encountering either thelegendary PokémonKoraidonorMiraidon,who joins and assists the player despite having lost its ability to battle, they are encouraged to participate in three stories:Victory Road,Starfall Street,andPath of Legends.[22]

InVictory Road,Nemona—a Champion-ranked trainer thatrivals the playerand frequently battles them throughout their journey—asks that they complete the Paldea region's eightGyms.After defeating theleadersof each Gym, they can reach Champion rank by defeating the region'sElite Fourand Top ChampionGeeta.After becoming Champion rank, Nemona challenges the player to a final battle.

InPath of Legends,Arvenasks for the player's help in locating the five legendary Herba Mystica. To obtain each Herba Mystica, the player and Arven team up to defeat "Titan Pokémon" —abnormally large Pokémon powered up by the Herba Mystica. Throughout the story, Arven reveals that he wishes to use the Herba Mystica to heal his petMabosstiff,who was injured by a Pokémon in Area Zero—the workplace of his parent, eitherProfessor Sada(Scarlet) orTuro(Violet). After defeating all five Titans, he and the player use the Herba Mystica to heal Mabosstiff and regain Koraidon/Miraidon's lost powers. He then challenges the player to a final battle, before being called by the professor to go to Area Zero with either the Scarlet or Violet Book. Arven decides that they must recruit further allies before journeying into Area Zero.

InStarfall Street,the player helps shy schoolgirlPennystand up against Team Star, a group responsible for academy bullying. Cassiopeia—Team Star's founder and Penny's secret identity—enlists them for "Operation Starfall", which aims to force Team Star to disband by defeating its five squad bosses. They are assisted byacademy directorClavell, who aims to discover Team Star's origins while disguised as a student named Clive, and Penny, who wants to monitor the player in-person and guide them as Cassiopeia. They learn that Team Star was founded to counter bullying rather than cause it, and their confrontation with their bullies eighteen months ago caused the bullies todrop outand several academy staff members to resign. After defeating all squad bosses, Penny meets the player in the schoolyard to reveal her identity and challenge them to a battle. After her defeat, Clavell reveals his disguise and offers peace with Team Star, though he subjects its members to community service as punishment for several violations.

After choosing Nemona and Penny for assistance, Arven and the player set out towards the Zero Lab, the professor's laboratory in Area Zero. This unlocks the final story,The Way Home.Inside, they encounterParadox Pokémon—biological relatives of extant Pokémon from either the ancient past (Scarlet) or far future (Violet). After reaching the laboratory, the professor reveals themselves to be anAIsubstitute of the true professor, who was killed in a laboratory incident sometime prior to the events of the games. The AI reveals that the original professor created atime machineto retrieve Paradox Pokémon and that they are to maintain it at all costs. The AI urges the player to shut down the time machine to preserve Paldea's ecology, though is forced by its programming to battle them. After initially being defeated, the time machine's security protocols disable Poké Balls in the area, leaving the player with no option except for their Koraidon or Miraidon to defeat the AI's own. This causes the time machine to fail, and the AI travels to an alternate time to allow for the machine's destruction, apologizing to Arven for the original professor neglecting him as a child before departing. Upon returning to the academy, Nemona, Clavell, and Geeta organize a Pokémon battling tournament between faculty and students. After evaluating all previous Gyms, the player emerges victorious in the tournament.

Development

edit
Concept artwork depicting an early version ofScarletandViolet,illustrating the new artstyle Game Freak wished to incorporate into the games.

Pokémon ScarletandVioletstarted development in late 2019, around the time thatPokémon SwordandShieldreleased.[23]During development, developers Game Freak wished to incorporate a "real and deformed" look into the games, including more realistic textures and more stylized character designs.[24]According to Keiichi Maezawa, a member of Game Freak, at a conference discussing this approach, this was intended to ground the games in a more realistic environment and make the games closer to the real world.[25]To further express realism with the games, natural sound was incorporated into the games' overworld. Though this had been a feature in prior games, the developers wished to increase the expressiveness of these sounds and create a large sample of sounds that could be used for later games in the series. They created a program called "PokeSynth" to accomplish this goal, which could be used to make a wide variety of sounds using a Pokémon species' in-game cry. Members of the development team also went into the forest and used speakers to evaluate the realism of how the sounds of Pokémon would appear in-game. They also went to zoos to study how different species of animal changed their vocalizations under a variety of conditions, and defined Pokémon into different groups to determine what sounds each species would make.[26]

Pokémon models received a significant overhaul in these games,[27]with new models being constructed for the games.[28]Game Freak initially created blueprints, and sent setting material and motion instructions to the model team, who then create a model from the materials sent to them. Following a model's creation, meetings would be held to determine other aspects of the model. Individual actions such as facial expressions and emotions in the animations are then handled by other members of the staff.[27]Models for Pokémon species had alterations to shading and appearance done in order to convey different personalities, with many unique textures applied to the models. These textures were substituted for a unique crystalline effect in order to convey a Pokémon's Terastallized state. The team additionally used specific lighting and angles in order to convey this desired approach with the playable character.[25]Once actions and traits of a Pokémon are finalized, test models are made. Once approved, movements for a given species are finalized.[27]Joint movements of the species were often altered throughout development, with many being altered at the request of animation artists.[27]Animations are completed using an in-house program.[27]

Species re-used animations from prior games where possible despite having new models and rigs. This caused complications during development, as the team had to find the most cost-effective way of being able to re-use animations. Every species used rigged and modelled facial features unlike prior games, which had used textures to convey facial features.[27]The team paid careful attention to making each model in order to ensure they conveyed each species' core personalities while fitting in with the games' artistic style.[28]Pokémon incorporating motifs from real-world objects and animals often incorporated elements from these motifs in their animations, with the animations team doing research to figure out what source would work best for a species. Species resembling inanimate objects were designed with the thought process of attempting to make them resemble living creatures.[27]New lighting schemes were introduced to help embellish the species, and many Pokémon were altered during development to have their idle animations be clearly visible and interesting while using the series' traditional battling view, which has the camera behind the player's Pokémon. The developers wished to ensure the Pokémon appeared visually interesting and consistent across multiple in-game camera angles as well.[28]

Music

edit
Composers for the game includeJunichi Masuda(left),Toby Fox(center), and guest composerEd Sheeran(right)

The games' soundtrack was handled by a variety of composers. Teruo Taniguchi, who had previously worked onPokémon Black 2andWhite 2,composed the music associated with Team Star in the games.

English singer-songwriterEd Sheerancollaborated with the games for the song "Celestial".Sheeran has been a fan of the series since childhood, and he had previously collaborated with spin-off gamePokémon Gofor an event in 2021.[31]"Celestial" is apopsong in the key ofD major,with a tempo of 123 BPM. It is based around achord progressionof G–Bm–D–A (IV–vi–I–V). This progression can also be seen in the song's video, written in a notebook Sheeran keeps.[32]"Celestial's" music video was released on 29 September 2022, and was directed byYuichi Kodama.[33]It depicts Sheeran interacting with a variety of sketch-style Pokémon, including aSnorlaxthat saves Sheeran from a car accident and aLaprasthat takes him across a river. The appearances of the Pokémon were drawn by art director Yu Nagaba. According to anNMEarticle, Nagaba emulated the way Sheeran drew Pokémon when he was younger for the video.[34]"Celestial" appears in the games as well, playing in the end credits forScarletandViolet."Celestial" was later remixed by Fox for the end credits of theScarletandViolet's DLC expansions.[35]Unlike other songs in the games, "Celestial" is not included in the official soundtrack release forScarletandViolet.[29]

Reception

edit

Critical response

edit

ScarletandVioletreceived "mixed or average reviews" according toreview aggregatorMetacritic,[86][87]making them the lowest-rated mainline seriesPokémongames.[108]

GameSpotwriter Jake Dekker regarded the non-linearity of the games as their "strength",[92]whileNintendo Lifedescribed the experience as capturing the "real magic" of the firstPokémongames,Red and Blue.The latter also praised the story as "wholesome" and offering "genuinely tender moments".[97]Writing forIGN,Rebekah Valentine found the new open world gameplay style enjoyable, highlighting other new gameplay mechanics such as Tera Raids and new online mechanics. She criticized various elements of the games, in particular finding the games' lack of polish and depth in various aspects such as its online features and exploration in its open world to be lackluster and low quality.[109]Regarding the open-world design Joel Franey writing forGamesRadar+criticized the games' "aimlessness" and "notable lack of stakes" without any end goal. He praised other elements of the games, such as their music and general user-interface improvements.[91]Kenneth Shepard, writing forPolygon,praised several aspects of the games, including the Terastallization feature's ability to improve upon strategy in battles, as well as the game's writing. He criticized the games for what he perceived as being a step back from their predecessorPokémon Legends: Arceus,citing the removal of many quality of life features introduced in that game. He additionally believed the games did not adequately tell the player in what order they were meant to approach its major story beats from, which he felt would leave them confused.[110]

The Guardian's Tom Regan found the games to be a fun take on the usual series formula, but criticized the games' technical and graphical problems, believing that they held back the games' potential.[111]Jason Faulkner, writing forGameRevolution,criticised the games' textures, model collision, performance, and furthermore criticized the games' progression as being "awkward and semi-linear despite the open-world design".[105]Lea Irion, writing about the games on4Players,felt that the games showed that thePokémonfranchise was becoming less ambitious year after year, while also being unfinished and carelessly thrown together. She called the games disappointingly average as a result.[88]Willem Hilhorst, writing in a retrospective forNintendo World Report,criticized the games. While he felt as though the various glitches in the games could be excused due to the franchise's reputation with glitches such asMissingNo.,he felt the removal of many long-standing series features alongside a lack of polish made the games "jam the gears" of those trying to enjoy them. He praised elements of the games and its story, but overall found the games to be off-putting to both casual and returning players alike.[112]

Publications criticised the games for suffering from graphical glitches and poor performance.[113][114][115]The graphics were also considered to be lacklustre, with unfavourable comparisons to other Nintendo Switch titles such asXenoblade Chronicles 3.[116][117][111]The Washington Post's Jhaan Ekler described how fans and critics alike were unhappy with the graphics, stating that it still hadn't improved upon the franchise's notoriety for lackluster graphical design.[116]Eurogamer's Oliver Mackenzie found the games to be of low quality graphically, citing them as downgrades from their predecessor,Pokémon Legends: Arceus,and as being "comprehensive technical failures" in comparison to other games available on the Nintendo Switch.[118]IGNwriter Rebekah Valentine added that the games' innovative design was undermined by the numerous graphical and technical issues within the games.[109]Due to the performance issues, some players began requesting refunds of the games soon after launch, which Nintendo granted in most cases.[119][120]As a result of criticism toward the games' quality on release, The Pokémon Company COO, Takato Utsunomiya, stated that the company would be having internal discussions about the series' release schedule going forward.[121][122]
