Today’s Pokémon Presents has just aired, and in usual fashion some new bits of news have been unveiled for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet! We’ve got a complete summary of everything announced during today’s presentation — but if you’d rather watch it for yourself without any spoilers, you can do so via this link right here.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet are in the midst of a rather strange situation. It’s no surprise that a Pokémon game is having its content leaked before release, but for it to happen so many months in advance is unprecedented! Two specific leakers have been revealing new information and screenshot snippets for the past few days. Some of the material leaked includes Starter Pokémon evolutions, new gimmicks, and more! Spoilers ahead, so turn away now if you’d rather discover these for yourself.
Today’s Pokémon Presents announced the ninth generation of the series, and it comes in the form of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet for Nintendo Switch! They’re true open world games set in a region based on Spain, and are due for launch at the end of the year. The graphics look better than in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, so it’s clear that the developers are getting better and better with them! The three new starter Pokémon – Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly – were also revealed.
Of course, we’ll be writing lots of guides for these games here on Exion! They won’t be coming until the end of the year, though, so for now you’ll just have to read the guides we already have available. If you’d like to see the full trailer, you can watch it via this link. We’re excited to see what the future of the franchise has to offer!
