Pokemon Violet

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have finally been released on Switch, and some fans may be curious about how to evolve Finizen into Palafin. While not an overly tricky process, it looks like you’ll have to get another person involved.

The wait is finally over for Pokemon fans as the newest games, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, have now released worldwide on the Switch, and Nintendo have dropped a short launch trailer to celebrate the occasion.

In case you missed our previous coverage, catch up on the games with the overview below:

Pokemon Scarlet Violet most pre-orders

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet have seen the most pre-orders for any entry in the series to date. That’s according to The Pokemon Company COO Takato Utsunomiya, who was recent interviewed by Oricon News.

Utsunomiya didn’t elaborate further, only stating that The Pokemon Company is looking forward to the game’s launch. It’s unclear if his statement refers to worldwide pre-orders or Japan only.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet reviews

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are just a couple of days away from reaching Switch, and reviews for the games are now starting to appear. Nintendo just lifted the official embargo.

The latest entries in the well-known franchise are offering something brand new with the open world of the Paldea region. Players can traverse land, water, and air by riding Koraidon in Scarlet and Miraidon in Violet. Many new creatures are appearing for the first time including the starters Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. There are plenty of other hooks like the Terastal Phenomenon in which Pokemon can gain special power, co-op play with the Union Circle, and more.

Here’s a roundup of some initial Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet reviews:

pokemon scarlet violet pre-order bonus

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet were announced during Pokemon Day, and pre-order bonus information for the two games is starting to become available. In our latest guide, we’ll be rounding up all of the reservation news from major retailers as well as any bonuses that are announced in the months to come.

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Scarlet, developed by Game Freak, ring in the franchise’s ninth generation. The Pokemon Company has indicated that this will be an open world experience “where various towns with no borders blend seamlessly into the wilderness.” The starters are the grass cat Sprigatito, fire croc Fuecoco, and duckling Quaxly. There’s much to be learned still, but we’re fairly far off from launch.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet overview

Original (11/1): Nintendo has released a new overview trailer for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. The video showcases the open world, some of the creatures players will find, and more.

Here’s some information about the games:

Pokemon Scarlet Pokemon Violet moves

Information and content stemming from this week’s Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet leaks are still popping up, and we now have a list of all moves that are included in the game. Also, if that wasn’t enough, we have the full rundown on moves that were removed.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet exclusives

With leaks and datamines happening for Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet over the past week or so, we now have the final exclusives list.

Going back to the series’ earliest days, some creatures could only be found in the wild depending on which version you were playing. The thought behind this is that it would encourage people to connect and communicate with each other. Even more than a couple of decades later, it’s still in place and we’ve ended up with two different versions of the latest Pokemon entry. It’s important to know which comes in each title since some fans will only pick up one version.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet update 1.0.1

Original (11/8): Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet will be receiving a version 1.0.1 day one update (patch notes to follow), according to The Pokemon Company. It will be highlighted by the inclusion of online play, so fans are advised to download it before starting their adventure. At least 1GB of free space will be required, but other specifics have not been shared at this time.

It also sounds like other updates are planned for the future. Once again though, further information has not been provided.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet breeding

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet are bringing back breeding, but things are a little bit different in the series’ latest entries. New details have now surfaced as part of the newest leaks surrounding the games.

There’s not much in the way of story spoilers here, but keep in mind that we’ll be going over some tidbits that some may prefer to learn about themselves.
