Predicting Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Three Storylines

gamerant.com:

It's been a while, but Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are finally getting new details. These come courtesy of the second half of the August 2022 Pokemon Presents, which was entirely devoted to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. It feels like a lot of information has been held back from players, and the number of new Pokemon confirmed for the games is still fairly low. There will likely be a major uptick in news across the next three months, but at least fans now have a better grasp of what's going to be in Scarlet and Violet.

The new trailer and accompanying explanation video revealed an enormous number of details. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet feature the Paldea region, and players control a student enrolled at the Naranja Academy or the Uva Academy. There is an assortment of staff and students to meet, as well as some sort of special “Treasure Hunt” assignment to undertake. Along the way, players will meet the legendary Pokemon Koraidon and Miraidon, and use them as all-purpose vehicles to traverse Paldea. Trainers will be able to take advantage of the Terastal phenomenon to temporarily power their Pokemon up, and will be able to experience the narrative in a non-linear fashion like never before. Indeed, this alluded-to feature may be the greatest addition to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

After enrolling at their respective academy, players will be let loose into the world with the option to pursue three major story paths. The first of these is the usual gym challenge, but with a couple twists.
