Pokémon Scarlet and Violet- "Celestial" Final Trailer Thoughts.

Sometimes, just because things don’t go as you’d expect; doesn’t mean you can’t find something to enjoy. Case in point- while we may not have official stage 1 and 2 starters; the final trailer for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet; set to “Celestial” by Ed Sheeran still has much to discuss. So, let’s open it up.

The spot shows off more footage of the Paldea region, the first fully open-world setting in the franchise. This is something that every main installment on the Switch has been building towards, and the influence from Rockstar’s titles to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is definitely felt. 

Though I’m not a huge fan of Ed Sheeran’s music, the song he contributes does have a similar effect as the one for the last game; “Brand New World.” The song definitely has a good chance of being remembered the same way as the soundtracks of the early movies are now. 

It has certainly been an interesting three years since the start of Generation VIII; and I look forward to seeing what this generation can bring. I look forward to picking these games up this Friday, and I will give you my first impressions after I start playing. See you all this Friday.
