Pokémon with higher [[level]]s also [[wanderer|wander]] outside of the normal [[tall grass]] in many places. The areas north of the Motostoke River are home to Pokémon with higher levels overall. Once the player has started the [[Darkest Day]] or captured {{p|Eternatus}}, Pokémon found throughout the Wild Area will generally have higher levels. | ||
==Camera== | ==Camera== | ||
Unlike most other areas of the game | Unlike most other areas of the game which use a fixed camera perspective, in the Wild Area the player can freely control the camera using the right control stick. The player can also press the L button to automatically rotate the camera to match the direction the player is facing, and press the right stick in order to zoom in or out. These mechanics, as well as the weather and wild Pokémon mechanics, carry over to the [[Isle of Armor]] and [[Crown Tundra]]. | ||
If the player moves left or right, the camera will also automatically rotate towards the player's facing direction, allowing the player to indirectly affect the camera even if one-handed controls ("Casual Controls") are enabled in the [[Options]]. This means that, for example, holding directly right will cause the player to move in a clockwise circle (with a diameter about 12 steps across) instead of a straight line. (For comparison, the bridge across Lake Axewell is about 20 steps long.) | If the player moves left or right, the camera will also automatically rotate towards the player's facing direction, allowing the player to indirectly affect the camera even if one-handed controls ("Casual Controls") are enabled in the [[Options]].
