Not a lot of information regarding this aspect was shared in the trailer itself, but just looking at how fluid a lot of the movement and the scale of the overworld, it does appear that Pok\u00e9mon is entering a new era.\u00a0 Previously, Game Freak called SV a true attempt at an open-world game for the franchise, with development heavily iterating on the technology used when making Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus and its more hub-centric Hisui region. And, while some elements of that area-driven world could still be present in SV, especially when considering the Nintendo Switch\u2019s hardware limitations, the messaging around the game seems clear.\u00a0 Even in the original trailer, the developers noted players would \u201cexplore an open world where various towns with no borders blend seamlessly into the wilderness.\u201d And, along with Pok\u00e9mon showing up in the overworld, appearing in the air, on land, and in bodies of water, and other elements shown off in the trailer, this does appear to be a more open-world experience than anything Pok\u00e9mon has attempted before.\u00a0 There is even a more heavy focus on multiplayer too, with up to four players being able to experience their journey together in some fashion, though a full breakdown of that element has not been shared yet. SV will release worldwide for Switch on Nov. 18, with more details about the game and its features to be shared at a later date.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/01083543\/Pokemon_SV_Screenshot_12.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605160"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=605160"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605160\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":605174,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605160\/revisions\/605174"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/605115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=605160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=605160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=605160"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=605160"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=605160"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=605160"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=605160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
