Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, released in 2022 for the Nintendo Switch, mark the beginning of the ninth generation of the Pokemon video game series. Developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokemon Company, these role-playing games are set in the Paldea region, inspired by the Iberian Peninsula, featuring an expansive open world.

Unlike earlier Pokemon games, Scarlet and Violet offer three distinct storylines for players to explore. The introduction of 110 new Pokemon, regional forms, and Paradox Pokemon, along with the Terastal phenomenon allowing Pokemon to transform into the exclusive "Tera Type," adds excitement to the gameplay.

Despite some technical issues and criticism for graphics and progression systems, the games garnered praise for their open-world format and engaging storyline. Notably, they set a record for Nintendo's largest launch, selling over 10 million copies in three days and reaching 23.23 million copies sold by September 2023.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Gameplay

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet maintain the familiar gameplay structure of previous titles, focusing on players capturing and trading Pokemon to explore the world and engage in battles with other trainers. A notable addition is the option to battle trainers on paths. The games feature open worlds, seamlessly blending urban areas with open wilderness, a departure from earlier Pokemon games.

Players have the freedom to choose from three routes, and objectives within these routes can be completed in any order. Introducing 112 new Pokemon, including starter Pokemon Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly, as well as legendary Pokemon Koraidon and Miraidon, the games offer a diverse lineup. Two new regional forms, Paradox Pokemon, and "convergent evolution" Pokemon, like Wiglett resembling Diglett, add excitement.

The "Let's Go" mechanic allows Pokemon to roam the overworld and automatically engage in wild Pokemon battles. Co-op play with up to three players is also included. Scarlet and Violet unveil the Terastal phenomenon, giving Pokemon a crystalline appearance and altering their type to match their "Tera Type," introducing special moves like Tera Blast for Terastallized Pokemon.
