The freedom offered by the open-world nature of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet lets you explore Pladea on your own terms. Due to the lack of level scaling, you can embark on any one of the three pathways.

However, to unlock the final story missions, you’d have to complete all of the quests. Although you have access to all quests and locations from the get go, there is an optimal way to go through the Path of Legends, Starfall Street, and Victory Road quests. So without further ado, let’s get started.
