The church-like building with the massive Pokeball on top is based on the Sagrada Familia, which is a famous landmark in Barcelona.I'm not too familiar with that many Spanish or Portuguese landmarks but I'd love a city based on Madrid or Barcelona somewhere
The Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games, the newest chapters in the Pokémon series, are coming to Nintendo Switch later this year. With these new titles, the Pokémon series takes a new evolutionary step, allowing you to explore freely in a richly expressed open world.
Various towns blend seamlessly into the wilderness with no borders. You’ll be able to see the Pokémon of this region in the skies, in the seas, in the forests, on the streets—all over! You’ll be able to experience the true joy of the Pokémon series—battling against wild Pokémon in order to catch them—now in an open-world game that players of any age can enjoy.
In the trailer, I noticed that the design on the plaza has all 18 types in a circle surrounding what looks like a battleground. I wonder if that actually has a significance and we actually get to battle 18 type specialists in the whole region.
Galar's major and minor league was a wasted opportunity and I've always wanted to have each type represented by a specialist. The only time we had that was in Gen 2 (including Dark for E4).
Well, in HGSS you can battle Giovanni.So where was GSCHGSS' Ground type specialist again?
Seriously though, I'd love if they played around with having more type specialists. I always hate seeing some types not get any type specialists for generations at a time, and while SwSh came somewhat close to having all of them (the closest since GSCHGSS), my favorite type (Electric) was one of the few that were excluded.

The graphics in the first pic look horrible.... all blurryReposting this from my post (with some paraphrasing) on speculation thread:
This location:
Is pretty much similar to the Rose Compass in Lisbon, Portugal (image taken from Google Maps):
I assume that city location on the game is pretty much on the opposite side of the city with the "Sagrada Familia" inspired building, considering Lisbon is almost the opposite side of Barcelona.
It really looks fine to me.The graphics in the first pic look horrible.... all blurry
