Trainers will meet the new legendary pok茅mon Koraidon and Miraidon

No pok茅mon game would be complete without meeting a mysterious and powerful legendary pok茅mon along their journey, and trainers were able to get their first look at Koraidon and Miraidon in the trailer.

Koraidon is the Legendary Pok茅mon players can meet in Pok茅mon Scarlet, and Miraidon is the Legendary Pok茅mon in Pok茅mon Violet.

In a statement online Pokemon said: "These two Pok茅mon are said to have powers that far surpass those of other Pok茅mon, but details about Koraidon and Miraidon are still shrouded in mystery."

So fans will have to wait a bit longer to find out more about how these powerful pok茅mon tie into the game's story.

Meet Sada and Turo - the new professors

Every pok茅mon journey begins with a special meeting with the island's local professor, and in Scarlet and Violet, things are a bit different.

For the first time in the series, one of two different professors will appear in the game depending on which version players choose to play.

The female professor Sada can be found in Scarlet, and the male professor Turo will be in Violet.

Each is carrying out special research into lore in the region.

Meet Nemona who will join players on their journey

The new trailer also introduced players to Nemona, who will join players on their adventures.

Pok茅mon describe Nemona as the player's friend who has "a sunny and energetic disposition" and loves to battle.

"She's an experienced Pok茅mon Trainer and serves as a reliable guide for you on your adventures. She has undisputed skill in battle鈥攖hough it does also seem that she's not the best at throwing Pok茅 Balls."

Meet Smoliv, Pawmi and Lechonk!

With each new main game comes a new generation of Pok茅mon, and the trailer has given players their first look at some new additions to Gen 9.

They are Smoliv, Pawmi and Lechonk.

Smoliv (which is a combination of the words small, and olive) is a grass/normal type pok茅mon which, when startled or attacked, will shoot bitter oil out of its head, slowing its opponent down, before running away.

Pawmi is an electric mouse-type pok茅mon that generates electricity by rubbing its cheeks, then shocks opponents by touching them with the pads on its forepaws.

Lechonk is a normal-type pok茅mon that loves to eat strong-smelling berries and grasses, and people think it gets it's name from the Spanish word lechon - which means piglet, and chonk - which means... er, chunky.

However Pok茅mon say Lechonk "may appear fat at first glance, but in reality, the Pok茅mon's body is mostly muscle built by constantly walking around in search of food."

Smoliv, Pawmi and Lechonk will join the new starter pok茅mon: Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly in the game.

Players will be able to team up with friends and family to explore the region

The trailer also revealed that the new games would be the first series to be fully open-world - which means players can explore wherever they want without having to go a set way.

Alongside trading and battling with other players, in Scarlet and Violet, players will be able to team up with family or friends in groups of up to four, to explore the world.
