Director Shigeru Ohmori revealed that the new games would be set in the Galar region, which looks a whole lot like Britain and features cities, open plains and snowy mountains. You'll choose grass-type Grookey, the fire-type Scorbunny or the water-type Sobble as your starter Pokemon as the game begins. All are cute, but Scorbunny is clearly the correct choice.

Gameplay-wise, it looks like we're back to battling wild Pokemon after the Pokemon Go-style catching system from last November's Pokemon Let's Go, but we didn't get too many gameplay details in the video.
