Recent gameplay footage for Pokémon Vents and Pokémon Vagues has been released, showcasing a more ambitious technological leap than previous titles. The initial visuals indicate improvements in graphics, including denser vegetation and realistic water effects. Additionally, the gameplay suggests an exploration of underwater environments, complementing the games’ themes.
Exploring the New Pokémon Region
While the new region remains unnamed and shrouded in mystery, it offers diverse environments for players. From jungles to beach resorts, and even swamps and volcanoes, this region seems to draw inspiration from past locations like Alola. The exact inspiration for this new setting is yet to be revealed.
New Starter Pokémon
As is tradition, Pokémon Vents and Pokémon Vagues will feature three new starter Pokémon, following the classic Plant-Fire-Water format:
- Broussatif: A plant-type chick.
- Caloulou: A fire-type puppy.
- Ogéko: A water-type gecko.
Additionally, special variants of Pikachu named Tornachu and Pikaflo will appear, fittingly outfitted for this sunny region. Familiar Pokémon companions like Bouledeneu, Limagma, and Krabby will also return, enriching the gameplay experience.
Release Information
The Pokémon Company has been cautious in revealing details about the release timeline. Currently, the only confirmed information is that Pokémon Vents and Pokémon Vagues are expected to launch in 2027. Notably, these games will be exclusive to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, which is indicated by the console’s logo appearing in the trailer.
This exclusivity likely contributes to the noticeable enhancements in technical performance, promising an elevated gaming experience for fans.
