Pokemon Scarlet & Pokemon Violet Announced - Generation 9 Games!

 On today's Pokemon Direct, the next-line Pokemon games were announced, titled: Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. These games mark the introduction of generation 9, providing an open-world experience. 

From the official Pokemon website:

"The Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games, the newest chapters in the Pokémon series, are coming to Nintendo Switch later this year. With these new titles, the Pokémon series takes a new evolutionary step, allowing you to explore freely in a richly expressed open world."

"Various towns blend seamlessly into the wilderness with no borders. You’ll be able to see the Pokémon of this region in the skies, in the seas, in the forests, on the streets—all over! You’ll be able to experience the true joy of the Pokémon series—battling against wild Pokémon in order to catch them—now in an open-world game that players of any age can enjoy.​"

You can view in-game screenshots below, followed by the reveal trailer. Click the images to enlarge.


With the introduction of a new generation and region, also marks the reveal of the three new starters the player will be able to choose from:


You can also check out the designs of the new male and female protagonist character designs, with their outfits slightly differing based on the type of game.






When additional details are released, I will either update this post or create a new one. Be sure to keep checking back!
