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 in late 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 through Pokémon Presents.
Features
The games are advertised as open-world games in which areas are seamlessly connected.[1]
The Pokémon's graphical assets have been upgraded, giving them more textured appearances and revealing new details not seen in previous media such as Seviper's scales.
The following returning Pokémon have been seen in promotional material (not including unseen evolutionary relatives): Pikachu, Meowth, Psyduck, Magnemite, Hoppip, Blissey, Larvitar, Pelipper, Swablu, Seviper, Starly, Combee, Drifloon, Lucario, Petilil, Hisuian Zoroark, Flabébé, Clauncher, Bounsweet, and Stonjourner. There have also been artistic representations of Dratini, Mimikyu, and Chewtle, but this does not confirm that they are actually in the games.
Compatibility
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are set to be able to connect with Pokémon HOME. This allows it to store and receive Pokémon from Pokémon HOME, including Pokémon from previous generations that were transferred into Pokémon HOME. However, only Pokémon that are available within Pokémon Scarlet and Violet can be transferred to them.
