Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves Share Beautiful Trailer
We’re about to dive into our most gorgeous Pokémon worlds ever. We can just tell. In fact, the trailer for Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves is comprised of so much literal art, taking us through a watercolor fantasy that shows Pikachu and many other Pokémon frolicking around in many peaceful scenes, from city to park to grand mansions… And, of course, the beach! Pikachu is excited, and so are we! Especially when we meet two other glam, beach-ready Pikachu, Mr. Windycu and Ms. Wavychu, who will be our new friends in Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves.
Then, of course, there’s an actual look at the Pokémon Winds and Waves games. We see some cool new structures, some happy Pokémon, and, our new trainer characters, who will look slightly different depending on which new Pokémon world you wish to explore. Is it Winds or Waves? Either way, you just can’t lose. Not when you have three amazing new Starter Pokémon by your side, Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua. Excuse us, we need to watch that Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves trailer at least 10 more times.
The Official Synopsis For These New Pokémon Games
The official synopsis for these new Pokémon games shares:
These new titles feature an open world to explore, with beautiful windswept islands and a vast ocean with glittering waves that ebb and flow. The Pokémon that live in harmony with this region’s lush environment have developed their own unique ecosystems. By visiting these islands, you’re sure to open the door to a brand-new adventure that could only be found here.
During this adventure, you’ll be able to team up with all kinds of Pokémon to overcome both the difficult road ahead and even the forces of nature that block your path at times.
