Pokemon Day happened this week, and alongside that a new Pokemon Presents presentation was delivered. It contained a few announcements and a bunch of news about the franchise as a whole.

Probably the biggest reveal – which has been expected – is that Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are getting new DLC. We don’t actually know too much currently, but it’ll be split into two parts. New Pokemon and a ton of returning creatures are coming. The first part has players going on a fieldtrip to Kitakami while the second features an adventure at Blueberry Academy as an exchange student.

The February 2023 Pokemon Presents did have other news as well, such as the return of Pokemon Sleep, Pokemon Concierge show from Netflix, and more. You can read the full recap here.

So what’d you think of the February 2023 Pokemon Presents? What are your initial thoughts on the Pokemon Scarlet / Violet DLC? Let us know in the comments.

Thanks to a datamine, the near-complete list of returning Pokemon for the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet DLC has apparently been revealed.

Version 1.2.0 dropped for both games today. Twitter user mattyoukhana_ discovered that instead of stubbing them, Game Freak deleted Pokedex entries for a ton of Pokemon. That’s what gives us the lineup of returning creatures. Some fans may recall that something similar happened with the DLC for Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Here’s the full list:

Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

Three more Pokemon have just been revealed for the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC, with The Pokemon Company showing off Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti. These creatures “are beloved by the people of the village as heroes that protected the land of Kitakami in the past, and stone statues were made in their likeness to express the people’s gratitude.”

The DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet kicks off with The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk. As we previously detailed, The Teal Mask sends you off on a school trip to the land of Kitakami, where a great mountain towers over the land and the people live at its base. The Pokemon Company has teased that you’ll “meet new friends and Pokémon as they unravel the mysteries behind the folktales that have been passed down in this land.” Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti will all be appearing in The Teal Mask, but we don’t have any other specifics.

Here’s a closer look at Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti:

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet update coming soon (version 1.2.0), patch notes

Posted on 1 year ago by Nicolas in News, Switch | 0 comments

Nintendo and The Pokemon Company had previously announced that a significant update for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet was scheduled to release in February, providing bug fixes and adding new functionality. While we still don’t know when exactly the update will release this month, patch notes detailing the update’s additions have been released.

The main focus seems to revolve around Pokemon Box management, with the update making several quality-of-life changes to make navigating that menu more comfortable. Beyond that, a sweeping set of bug fixes are coming to Tera Raid Battles, as well as a handful of fixes coming to the general battle system and other elements of the game.

Contrary to last update, no special highlight is given to resolving issues surrounding the game’s performance, although presumably some of the changes made will improve this as well. It should also be noted that further features and bug fixes not listed in these patch notes are set to release with the update, so these aren’t the full list of changes either.
