What is this Game?

The aim of Pokémon Scarlet Switch NSP is to be more than a sequel of the long-running series of Nintendo monster-collection RPGs. Competitive VGC metagame, BB League trials, and a wide variety of post-game Indigo disk expansions, the “Open-World Paldea Exploration and Terastallization” systems offer a more technical and strategy based Pokémon experience for new Trainers to access and enjoy.

The dual-action design is an effort by Game Freak to please both the players who are looking for ramps through the region and players who want to train their EVs and IVs, build their teams, and fight it out in the arenas. The experience should now be more balanced, especially because some fans felt that this was the case with the earlier ones, and they are limited in the seamless interaction with the overworld.
