Pokémon Scarlet & Violet trailer reveals auto battles and limited edition Nintendo Switch
A new, short trailer for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet gives a first glimpse at its two other storylines and confirms an auto battle feature.

They don’t even have distinct attire and still wear their school uniforms, albeit with motorbike helmets and star-shaped goggles. Although their leader Mela has a far more unique design and battles you from atop what looks like a party bus.
The other storyline sees you team up with a fellow student called Arven, a cook who’s searching for something called the Herba Mystica.
