🌊 I put together all the current leaks and information to theorize how the 3 story paths could work in Pokémon Winds & Waves.
Just like Scarlet & Violet, the 18 Pokémon types will be split across three different stories, each with its own objectives and characters.
🌱 LEGEND TOUR
A sick girl from Kanto who is a relative of Lt. Surge and uses his Raichu is taking care of Konetsu (the Seed Pokémon). She joins us on the Legend Tour, where we'll defeat powerful bosses to unlock new abilities for Konetsu and access previously unreachable areas of the map.
Types to defeat:
🐛 Bug • ⚡ Electric • 👻 Ghost • 🌊 Water • 🐉 Dragon
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧙 MAHOU TOUR
We travel alongside the son of the region's evil organization's leader, taking on bosses using the new Netsu battle gimmick in raids.
The organization is experimenting with Netsu at the Majin Research Labs while also pursuing Konetsu for their plans.
Types to defeat:
🔥 Fire • ❄️ Ice • 🌍 Ground • 🪨 Rock • 🔮 Psychic
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏅 GYM TOUR
The classic Gym challenge returns with 8 Gyms across the region. The character involved in this story has a strong connection to the region's Champion.
Types to defeat:
🌿 Grass • ☠️ Poison • 🪽 Flying • 🥊 Fighting • 🌑 Dark • ⚪ Normal • ⚙️ Steel • 🧚 Fairy
Once we've collected all 8 Gym Badges, we can challenge the Elite Four:
🌊 Water • 🔥 Fire • 🌿 Grass • ⚡ Electric
And finally, we'll face the Champion of the region. 👑
Three paths.
18 types.
And the big question is...
How will all three stories eventually come together? 👀
Sickly young girl takes care of konetsu, and you help her protect it from bad guys as you go around the region. Defeating bosses on the Legend Tour will empower Konetsu, similar to how the SV legends gained new traversal features.
