Similar to previous Pok茅mon games, you will be able to play as a Pok茅mon trainer, adventuring across the region of Paldea.

You will have the ability to travel across land, on the sea and through the air on the back of one of the legendary Pok茅mon - Koraidon and Miraidon - depending on which game you play.

And through the Pok茅 Portal - players can battle with other trainers from around the world!

Your in game character will attend school alongside other hopeful trainers, learning from professors and battling fellow students.

And Nintendo said that there will be three adventures to choose from when you begin the game.

Some Pok茅mon will be given the ability to turn into crystal - a power known as "terastalising".

If you're familiar from the Gigamaxing Pok茅mon from the Sword and Shield series, then the Terastal power may be more familiar to you!

It allows the Pok茅mon to become more powerful and some may also be able to change their type.

A Pok茅mon can Terastalise once per battle.

Time for school

Your in game character will be able to attend school alongside lots of characters including the head of the academy Clavell, biology professor Jacq and classmate Arven and Penny.

A new Pok茅mon has also been introduced to the world - a puppy Pok茅mon known as Fidough!

Fidough is a fairy type Pok茅mon that looks a little bit like a loaf of bread.

How a-dough-rable!

Lots of people on social media are commenting about how excited for they are for the launch of Pok茅mon Scarlet and Violet and the extra features that have been added.

One person said: "This game looks absolutely amazing!! Thank you, Pok茅mon! Can't wait to explore Paldea later this year".

But others have been critical of the game's design, with some saying that the graphics aren't as good as they were hoping.

One person commented, "My main complaint is that the environment is a bit lower quality then I'd hope, but hey there's still a couple of months left so here's hoping they get some slight improvement."

Nintendo has said that the footage that's been released is not final - meaning there may be changes ahead of the two games being released in November.
