We finished the trailer feeling a little less <em>AH!<\/em> and a little more <em>EH?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We think it&#8217;s fair to say that a lot of this came down to how the trailer was edited. Come on, whose idea was it to put those cantered dialogue boxes so large and on the screen and for such a short time? Even the fastest readers among us struggled to keep up with what felt like a barrage of info.<\/p>\n<p>That conveniently segues into the second editing issue we had regarding the amount of information being given to us without the opportunity to <em>savour<\/em> it. The three-path structure of Scarlet and Violet looked very interesting indeed, however, keeping these new ideas in our heads became difficult when the trailer was keen to move on to the next point.<\/p>\n<p>Short and snappy is better than bloated and boring, sure, but we would have appreciated a <em>little<\/em> more time to absorb the information here. Our thought process, desperate to keep up with all the new details, became frazzled by the speed at which it was delivered. <em>Ooo, storylines! Ok, Victory Road is still here. Wait, who&#8217;s that big crab boy? You can send your Pok\u00e9mon away now? <em>Ok, really big crab boy.<\/em> Baddy team on cars. Mega Man? Was that a whip on his belt? Ooo shiny diamonds!<\/em><\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\"><figcaption class=\"caption\">Nabbing their <em>what?<\/em> \u2014 <em class=\"credit\">Images: The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>To be clear, we&#8217;re not saying that these features don&#8217;t look good \u2014 there&#8217;s a lot to be excited about here \u2014 but it has taken a good amount of extra research to get to a place where we now feel like we have a grip on what is going on. Doesn&#8217;t that defeat the point of the trailer a little, though?<\/p>\n<p>But hey, don&#8217;t just take it from us. Maybe we got too distracted by the big crab boy. Perhaps the novelty of riding your Pok\u00e9mon still hasn&#8217;t worn off on us. What did you make of the games&#8217; newest trailer? A great round-up or a tad too rapid(ash) for your liking?
