The typical ‘Welcome to the world of Pokémon’ introduction involving a professor is replaced with a speech from Chairman Rose, during a television broadcast.
The first town you travel to is called Wedgehurst. You obtain your Starter from Champion Leon, and then battle your rival Hop (Leon’s brother). He has a Wooloo and the Starter weak to yours.
In the foggy Slumbering Weald, I run into a couple different types of new Pokémon, which I unfortunately can’t talk about.
As I venture deeper into the woods, a mysterious creature appears before me. While I can’t spoil what happens, I eventually exit the Slumbering Weald, Wooloo by my side, and am back on track toward Wedgehurst.
On talking to her and Leon, and battling Hop again, you then gain endorsement to take on the Gym challenge.
ソニアとダンデと話をし、再びホップと戦うと、ジムチャレンジの推薦状を手にいれる。
Afterwards, you travel through the Wild Area to reach Motostoke, the first big city.
You can already partake in a Raid Battle in the Wild Area.
その後、ワイルドエリアを旅して、最初の大都市であるMotostokeに到着。
この時点で既にワイルドエリアでのマックスレイドバトルに参加できる。
出 現ポケモン
We’ve noticed a bunch of previous generation Pokémon in the video not yet seen in Galar – Vullaby, Swinub, Dhelmise, Drampa, and Xatu. Lotad (confirmed months ago) seems to be available very early on as well.
ガラル地方には、PVにはいなかった過去のポケモンがたくさんいることに気づいた。
バルチャイ、ウリムー、ダダリン、ジジーロン、ネイティオなどだ。
ハスボー(数か月前に確認済み)も非常に早い段階で出会えるようだ。
There’s at least “a couple” different types of new Pokémon in the Slumbering Weald, and at least seven species of Pokémon in the Route between then and meeting the Professor (one being Yamper).
The Wild Area has been estimated to be roughly the size of “two regions of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild‘s world”.
ワイルドエリアは、ほぼ「ゼルダの伝説ブレスオブザワイルドの地域2つ分」のサイズと推定されている。
It’s not all accessible from the beginning, however.
Cliffs and water block off areas, for instance. Other areas have Pokémon of much higher level, some as high as 40 – while you can battle them with your team around level 10 or so, you can’t catch them.
A common mention across these previews is that the game is less tutorial heavy than generation seven titles, which will surely be a welcome change to more veteran players.
For the Wild Area, you have a portable PC Box, like in Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee.
ワイルドエリアには、ピカブイにあった携帯ポケモンボックスがある。
Exp. benefits lower levelled Pokémon more than higher levelled Pokémon.
Catching Pokémon gives you experience, and each encounter splits the XP between your entire team automatically. You can also whistle to attract wild Pokémon to your position.
