Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, the next generation of Pokémon, confirmed for release in late 2022

[--R]

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.

The three Pokémon from which you'll be able to choose your first partner are Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. How will you meet these three, and what sorts of Pokémon are they?

As one of the main characters, you'll set off on your adventure. Your outfit will vary depending on whether you play Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet. Who knows what kind of story awaits you?

[Charamiwa]

Game Freak can't be stopped.

 

[Kimbou]

Ah man, feels way too soon.

 

[Valcrist]

Pompaduck

 

[Busaiku]

I knew 9th gen would be coming.

 

[gardfish]

Those are some INCREDIBLY ugly starters lmao

 

[BowieZ]

scarlet*

 

[Gol]

Too soon?

 

[MondoMega]

grass cat and fire crocodile, huh

 

[ILikeFeet]

starters and MC looks like ass

 

[diakyu]

That looked a lot like Arceus gameplay-wise, especially the shot of Lucario

 

[Jencks]

Whoa

 

[rewkol]

Was hoping they'd take the year off but I guess nothing can stop that marketing and merchandising schedule

 

[Kouriozan]

Looks okay but damn the Switch is showing its ages, Nintendo hurry up with Switch 2 !
I don't like the starters artwork, too, in game models will looks better I'm sure.

 

[Maple]

Out of fucking nowhere. Holy shit.

I mean it makes sense, given it's been 3 years since Sword and Shield, but Gen 9 and Arceus Legends in the same year?

 

[MisterSnrub]

Well shit I didn't expect that

 

[cw_sasuke]

Pokemon, XB3, BotW 2 ...all in fall ?

 

[ArchedThunder]

Legit shocked, but at least it looks like PLA truly was a testing ground.

 

[KillstealWolf]

God Damnit Gamefreak, you don't need to do Yearly Titles. You already JUST released Legends Arceus.

Let them breath a little, please.

Spoiler

I knew it was coming, merchandise always makes the final call.

 

[Galava]

Spain confirmed

 

[TheAggroCraig]

Scarlet and Violet… weird choice

 

[Speedstersonic]

So no Arceus dlc expansion? That's shocking

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I like starters. Switching it up.

 

[RealTravisty]

Those starters and characters look like ass. :/

 

[808s & Villainy]

Too soon?

IMO

 

[SpeedyBlueDude]

Green Grass baby all the way.

 

[VorpalNonsense]

I'm still processing what I just saw
This is a more traditional pokemon game but it has legends arceus-like world with overworld pokemon? did I interpret that correctly? I gotta watch it again
I was really hoping the next traditional game would be heavily inspired by legends, if theyve got that overworld method here and some aspects of the battling/catching in this like in arceus then i will be PUMPED
I basically just want legends with some features introduced back in (like more trainer battles, gyms) and multiple towns

 

[Aleh]

This looks like the biggest game they've ever made holy shit they are unstoppable

 

[MillionIII]

Dafuk are those

 

[jman2050]

COLORS ARE BACK

 

[Khanimus]

...this seems like a ludicrously fast turn-around

 

[Mario_Bones]

Welp, guess they haven't learned they need more time for these. Worried how they're going to turn out tbh

Also thought this was Detective Pika 2 at first, bummer lol

 

[Damien1990]

Shame they're going back to two versions but not overly surprising. Starters don't look great but the game itself looks like it has a lot of elements from Arceus in it.

 

[cdm00]

Holy fuck, 10 months after Arceus


PLEASE HAVE MY DOLPHIN POKEMON

 

[Neoxon]

I'm not sure how I feel about us getting Gen 9 so soon after Legends, but I'm glad to see that it's going full open world.

 

[Helix]

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

 

[The Gold Hawk]

I want that grass cat.

 

[criteriondog]

wasn't expecting gen 9 so soon!

 

[daybreak]

Looks fucking awesome.

 

[jokkir]

The starters look like fan art lol. Gotta get used to them first but bird looks adorable with the hat

 

[Anastasis]

Is this basically a new game in the PLA style?

 

[Regiruler]

Starters giving off some serious Gen V-VI fakemon energy.

 

[Doctor Phishshoe]

Looks okay but damn the Switch is showing its ages, Nintendo hurry up with Switch 2 !
I don't like the starters artwork, too, in game models will looks better I'm sure.

There are a lot of better looking switch games than pokemon games

 

[The Last One]

I LOVE IT

 

[Axiom]

I genuinely think those are the best set of starter designs for a long ass time

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

GET IN HERE NERDS IT POKÉMON TIME

 

[BassForever]

This looks incredible

 

[nsilvias]

A flower and an actor for the names? Uh ok

 

[IHaveIce]

The starters look super cool

 

[Cronogear]

Thankfully it looks heavily inspired by Legends, but this still seems way too soon.
