A brand-new trailer for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was unveiled during the recent Pokemon Presents livestream, introducing both the region trainers will be traveling through and an all-new type of Pokemon evolution.

The game takes place in the Paldea region, which players will travel across using the two legendary Pokemon Koraidon and Miraidon. The story centers on a Pokemon academy, where the main character is a student who sets out to explore the world.

Three new Pokemon debuted during the presentation, including the icy Cetitan, the rolly ruffian Fidough, and the game's first Paldean variant in Wooper.

A new type of special Pokemon evolution was also introduced: Terastal Pokemon, following in the footsteps of Gigantamax and Mega Evolution. Terastallizing a Pokemon gives it a jewel-like appearance, making its moves stronger and sometimes changing the Pokemon's type. Players can earn Terastal Pokemon through Tera Raids--all new challenges that pit up to four players against a powerful Terastallized Pokemon.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is the latest core installment in the wildly popular Pokemon franchise. It is set to release November 18 exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
