If you missed the trailer, don't worry, you can watch it below.
Looking distinctly more polished than its predecessor, Pokémon Sword and Shield, Scarlet and Violet are set in a region reminiscent of the Iberian Peninsula. The new trailer shows off tons about the highly anticipated games.
Namely, each game will feature a different Pokémon Professor deprending on which game is chosen. The friendship group aspect from Pokémon X and Y seems to be returning, with different friends going on their own separate journey. The Legendary Pokémon featured in each game were also unveiled, resembling dragons. The box Legendaries in Scarlet and Violet are named Koraidon and Miraidon, respectively.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will release on November 18, 2022.
An all-new Pokémon adventure!
Pokémon makes its way to a new region based on the Iberian Peninsula in Europe. With more new Pokémon to catch and train, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will certainly turn heads on the Nintendo Switch.
