It goes over basically everythingA Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (https://www.destructoid.com/pokemon-ghost-dog-greavard-info-details-type/) recap video just launched on the Japanese Nintendo YouTube account (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKggN13crog); and spans five minutes of general footage that showcases pretty much every major element of the game.
Although the voiceover is in Japanese, you're getting a ton of footage either way, and the gist is easily communicated.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet feature recap:

The clip starts with an overview of some of the key members of the game, as well as another close-up look at the starter trio
We then move into the two legendary Pokemon, who also serve as your motorcycle/mount (https://www.destructoid.com/new-pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-features-include-legendaries-as-partners-and-land-sea-and-air-mounts/), which can drive up mountains and fly
The recap transitions into multiplayer, showing off how multiple people can join your game (but only for a brief moment)
Then we get another look at the three "core" storylines: which you can tackle in any order (as a reminder, it's Victory Road [trainer battles], Path of Legends [an explorer-themed questline], and Starfall Street [the antagonistic faction similar to Team Rocket]
There's a short montage of new creatures
The video then shifts into the Terastallize (https://www.destructoid.com/pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-special-pikachu-distribution-event-details-dates-start-end-date/) mechanic, as well as raids with multiple trainers/players
The ability to take photos wasn't widely shown off before today, so if you're interested in the more chill/social elements, tune in around 4:30 for some extra footage

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are due on November 18, and will continue the "dual" release model following Pokemon Legends' single release. I'm mostly on board, but I hope that the "open world" truly is open, and has a lot to do.
