Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Pokemon's 9th Generation is finally here with exciting previews on their trailer. Scarlet and Violet will be released for Nintendo Switch later this year of 2022. Of course, the trailer wouldn't be complete if the three starting Pokemon isn't teased.
Game Freak is really working hard for Pokemon fans, giving them constant Pokemon games they could play while waiting for the next generation. Pokemon Sword and Shield was released on November 2019 as the eighth generation. While three years have passed, Pokemon didn't make fans wait by giving them a DLC for Sword and Shield and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are remakes for the fourth generation of Pokemon played in the Nintendo DS back in 2006. Of course, the newly released Pokemon Legends: Arceus is giving fans a new style of game play brought to us by Game Freak.
The Pokemon developer really values its fans not giving them time to breathe, with constant updates for their lesser games on different platforms. They gave updates on games like Pokemon Masters EX, Pokemon Sword and Shield, Pokemon Cafe Mix, Pokemon UNITE, and Pokemon GO. They gave one update after the other each day in line with the big reveal of Pokemon Generation 9. We now have a new Pokemon game to look forward to, this coming end of 2022.
In the Pokemon trailer shown in today's Pokemon Presents, they showed the vast world each trainer will travel to. The world looks pretty much familiar as to how some fields look like in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The catch now is that the atmosphere and overall look of the game looks stylized as modern setting. On top of that, Pokemon Gen 9 revealed their three starting Pokemon. Trainers will get to choose from a Grass-type Cat, a Fire-type Reptile and a Water-type duck.
