lets talk pokemon scarlet or pokemon violet

We’re about a month away from the launch of Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, the latest entry in the legendary franchise that started up over 25 years ago. The games will largely be the same, but like past entries, a few details will set them apart.

Something we saw with the original games is that a few select creatures were exclusive to each version, and that’s once again the case here. As one example, Koraidon is the main Legendary Pokemon for Scarlet while Miraidon is the Violet counterpart. Additionally, those playing Pokemon Scarlet will encounter Professor Sada while Pokemon Violet has Professor Turo. Small outfit changes are also included. You can find more information here.

So which version are you thinking of going for? Maybe you plan on picking up both? Let us know in the comments.

Bellibolt Pokemon Scarlet Violet

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have revealed Bellibolt, another new creature for the games. This is said to be an EleFrog Pokemon.

According to The Pokemon Company, “Bellibolt expands and contracts its elastic body to generate electricity in an organ that looks like a belly button. The huge amount of electricity generated this way is then discharged from the two bumps on either side of its head that resemble eyeballs.​ Its actual eyes are adorably small and round.”

Following on from yesterday’s video, which introduced us to Iono, the Gym Leader of Levincia in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, the official Japanese Pokemon Twitter account have announced that she will reveal her partner Pokemon in another video tomorrow, October 14. The video will be released at the same time as the previous one, 9am EDT/2pm BST/23pm AEST.

Here’s some more information about the games:

More distributions for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are on the way to GameStop and Target, with players having the opportunity to obtain Genesect, Volcanion, and Marshadow. This applies to fans in North America and Europe – those in Australia and New Zealand can participate at their local JB Hi-Fi. Stores will be handing out codes for the Mythical Pokemon.

Below are the full distribution dates:

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Iono

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have released their latest video and today provided a look at Iono. In the games, she’s the Gym Leader of Levincia – not to mention a streamer and influencer. Electric-type Pokemon is her specialty.

Today’s video is a bit different from that typical trailer we’ve seen. Iono is “streaming” and plays a little game with viewers in which they can guess her partner Pokemon with a few hints she provides.

Here’s some information about Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet:

Pokemon Scarlet Violet October 12

The Pokemon Company has confirmed that more news for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet is incoming, with the next information drop planned for tomorrow, October 12. We should at the very least be seeing a new trailer at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe.

Updates surrounding Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are starting to come fast and furious with the games releasing in about a month. Last week, a 14-minute gameplay trailer was shared and it included the reveal of Farigiraf. The week prior, Wiglett was revealed as another new creature. September provided its own new trailer plus the reveals of Armarouge, Ceruledge, and Klawf.

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet launch for Switch on November 19, 2022. Let us know if you have any guesses about what will be shown tomorrow in the comments.

It was recently announced that the Ed Sheeran song “Celestial” would be featured in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and now Nintendo have shared a short behind the scenes video of the recording of the song, which you can view below:

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will release worldwide on November 18. You can see the latest trailer for the games here.

unannounced pokemon scarlet violet

Pokemon fans have spotted two unannounced creatures in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet.

Both were briefly shown during a new trailer shown for the games today. While we don’t have the best looks at them, it’s the first time they’ve been shown to the world.

The first Pokemon is thought to be the possible pre-evolution for Armarouge / Ceruledge. The second one is hidden behind the camera UI, and since it’s tough to make out, there’s not too much fans can speculate about for now.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet picnics TM Machine

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have received details on picnics and the TM Machine, two new mechanics for the game.

With picnics, these can be had “almost anywhere when out exploring the region’s vast wildernesses, along with being able to change the designs of the tablecloth, cups, water bottles, and other picnic items to create an arrangement of their liking.” A Pokemon’s HP will be restored when it eats sandwiches, and “the meal may impart some effects that will come in handy on adventures”.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Farigiraf

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet released its latest trailer today, and yet another Pokemon was revealed: Farigiraf. We now have more information about the creature.

Farigiraf is a Long Neck Pokemon with a Normal / Psychic type. As for its ability, that’s Cud Chew / Armor Tail. It measures 10’6″ (3.2 m) with a weight of 160 kg.
