What Did We Expect To See?

Similar Content to the 5th Sword & Shield Trailer

Using the trailers leading up to Pokemon Sword and Shield as reference we're hoping we get similar info for Scarlet and Violet as the one in the trailer above.

Expected Content
・More in-depth info on the Terastal Phenomenon
・Hopefully, Starter Evolutions and More New Pokemon
・New Gym Leaders or Team Star Members

More In-Depth info on the Terastal Phenomenon

The 5th trailer of Pokemon Sword and Shield focused mainly on how the Dynamax phenomenon could expand into the Gigantamax phenomenon and featured several Gigantamax evolutions. If there were more to the Terastal gimmick than we already know, this would likely be the trailer that would reveal it!

All Terastal Forms and Tera Types

Hopefully, Starter Evolutions and More New Pokemon

With only a little more than a week before the games officially release, there is still surprisingly little we know about the Pokemon that are in the game. This is great to preserve the surprise of new Pokemon, but we're hoping to at least have a bit more info on the starters to make our decisions easier!

All New Generation 9 Pokemon

New Gym Leaders or Team Star Members

Currently Known Gym Leaders
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet - Grusha PortraitGrusha BrassiusBrassius SV - Iono.pngIono

As of writing, there are only three known Gym Leaders in the game. Hopefully we'll get to see more type specialists that are either part of the Victory Road challenge, or even other crew leaders of Team Star that we can meet on the Starfall Street.
