Players can see the new treasure hunt that encompasses one of the three adventures the player and other students can embark on. Hindering the player on their journey is the rival Team Star, comprised of fellow classmates. Team Star can be found on Starfall Street, and wears different colors depending on the game.

A new host of Pokémon were shown off as well, with colors resembling the titular scarlet and violet. Another monster shown was Klawf, the Stony Cliff Titan who can be found on the new Path of Legends. We'll be sure to update our list of new Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet as well.
