Ah! I see that this is still up with people asking!
>>37630691Big question, past Pokémon games have many features to make them unique, but these new games have a whole new level of content in them, so I don't know!
>>37630696There is awareness regarding the competitive side of the games, it has been dealt with
>>37630723They are around one thousand in total
>>37630729The new level up system is very smooth, for example it might take a while to evolve Bulbasaur into Ivysaur, so much time that you will actually experience so much with Bulbasaur. The new system is smart because it takes into account the progress you have made in the game, and the strength of the Pokémon you own, to determine their growth rate and sometimes the difficulty. This is meant to be the next big evolution in the franchise. We are expecting these new games to bring back the success of the first release of Pokémon.
>>37630730I couldn't be a translator ahahaha but I sure am an advertiser here
>>37630746You are kind of right, the places you listed are visitable, and I don't think they would use such strange marketing strategies ahah
>>37630828Big reveal: you start in a region based on the Chubu region, around the Niigata prefecture. The map is not real Japan, and Japan is not the only place you can explore. The map is beyond expectations.
>>37631314There is Team Rocket! But they will have an interesting role, different from the past. They might even help the player dealing with a much greater enemy, which I wouldn't call "evil team". There are many sidequests! And there is a lot of free roaming, it is open world for sure, but it also has "paths" you should follow like older Pokémon games.
>>37631358This is a thing I love, because you do see Pokémon around, interacting with their surroundings and with you, so you can encounter them like this, but also they can appear by surprise in certain areas like tall grass!
Wow the comment is too long, I write a lot ahahah but you guys are fun!
