Pokémon Scarlet (Japanese: ポケットモンスター スカーレット Pocket Monsters Scarlet) and Pokémon Violet (Japanese: ポケットモンスター バイオレット Pocket Monsters Violet) are the primary paired versions of Generation IX. The games will be released on the Nintendo Switch worldwide on November 18, 2022. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

The game was announced worldwide on Pokémon Day on February 27, 2022, at 11 P.M. JST via Pokémon Presents.

Features

The game is set in the Paldea region and is an open-world game in which areas are seamlessly connected. The areas in the game can be visited in any order. The game also features multiplayer with up to four players simultaneously, enabling trading and battling between players as well as allowing them to travel through the game's areas together.[1]

The player character is a student at Naranja AcademyS/Uva AcademyV in the city of Mesagoza. Characters in the game include the academy director Clavell, the teacher Jacq, the rival Nemona, the cook Arven, the student Penny, and the Pokémon Professor. The two versions of the game feature different professors, with Professor Sada appearing in Pokémon Scarlet and Professor Turo appearing in Pokémon Violet. The color of the player character's clothing also differs between the two versions. The game includes three main storylines that can be completed in any order. The first storyline, titled Victory Road, has the player challenging eight Pokémon Gyms and the Pokémon League to become the Champion as in most previous games, though the Gyms can now be challenged in any order. The second storyline, titled ★ Starfall Street ★, allows the player to challenge a group of delinquents of the Academy known as Team Star. The third storyline, titled Path of Legends, has the player adventure with Arven in order to battle giant Titan Pokémon and gather the rare Herba Mystica that they guard, which are extremely rare herbs said to be able to immediately restore health if eaten.
