And this is kind of a pointless remark. I was just stating that bigger doesn't necessarily mean empty.

Pokemon Sword & Shield: The whole map of The Wild Area
- Thread starter Nihilego_Khu
- Start date
But the trailer had Pokémon walking around in the snow, didn't it? Or was it just weather snowing on grass...
Well for one overworld pokemon are everywhere, not just in the wild area. The weather in the wild area also changes hence the snow.
Pokémon are roaming around in the entire world. And there's a snow area in the Galar region. But there's also a snow area in the wild area.
Oh? I thought that was a wild area feature. Good to hear it's game-wide.
Then what's special about the wild area? Just that it's not linear paths?
Basically. It's large open area you'll go through several times, you ca nfind other trainers passing by if you have the game online and you can interact with them for stuff and the weather will change throughout which will change the Pokemon you can find.
depends on how well it's done. it'd be a cool way of doling out new pokemon or mythicals as events, but I feel it's only gonna be a selection of pokemon with no events
In two completely different games?
Space plays a very different role in BoTW.
I highly doubtful we will be paragliding, climbing, looking for temples/shrines, solving puzzles, and fighting in real time in a Pokemon game.
I'm looking forward to the game but some people get weirdly defensive about it and make comparisons like yours that simply don't work for me. We have yet to play the game either way so who knows what they have in store.
Raids, controllable camera, randomized pokemon and weather effects, being able to interact with other trainers (probably similar to the PSS except you see their models)
This comes from the cover of a guide book that won't be releasing until launch.
This image tells us basically nothing we haven't known since they first revealed the wild area in June.
Completely open world Pokemon would be absolute balls, let's be real now. Having the routes evolve into something like Dragon Quest and have them criss cross and intersect with one Wild Area would be fine, but no routes connecting the towns and cities would be completely changing the gameplay flow. Gamefreak talked about how removing HMs because of the Wild area removing the necessity to have a Lock and Key element to overworld exploration already says enough about what an open world game in their minds is.
Heck I'm playing Dragon Quest 11 right now and I think the basic grassy "routes" connecting towns are already too big for their own good
DQ11 or DQ8? Because those are two different designs. DQ11 is more of an evolution of Pokemon's routes
11. 8 would be more like having 6 or 7 wild areas clumped together with small routes in between.
Beware !!! : Possible spoilers for Wild Area , click if you do not mind spoilers
I think some are expecting way too much from the open area, I'm worried about it actually because it might be taking alot of space from the game.
yes, the bike was shown in the trailer. it's how you surf as well
Sorry it it's been answered but will available Pokemon in the wild area rotate or is it always going to be the same group with their respective percent chances to appear?
There's going to be a huge number of different Pokemon there. The pool will be different depending on which part of the wild area you're in, the weather, the time of day, and possibly day of the week as well. There will also be some that are exclusive to the raid battles.
Oh man that's so dope. Gives a reason to check every day and during special events. Thank you.
