‘Pokémon Scarlet & Violet’ will release on November 18

 The latest main collection Pokémon sport, “Pokémon Scarlet & Violet,” will arrive on the Nintendo activate November 18, 2022.

A trailer for the sport dropped this morning, revealing new details about the 9th technology of the conventional franchise. Most importantly, this guy. His name is Lechonk.

Ok, wonderful, Lechonk may not be the most critical display. “Pokémon Scarlet” and “Pokémon Violet” might be the number one open international RPGs inside the franchise, constructing off of the recent “Pokémon Legends: Arceus.” “Arceus” isn’t a real open worldwide recreation — you adventure to base camps, then run spherical a huge, yet boundaried vicinity encountering over-international Pokémon. So we’ll take the ones “open worldwide” claims at face charge.

In different exciting (yet not Lechonk-stage) news, this could be the first Pokémon sport with multiplayer functionality — as much as four humans can team up and discover together (unfortunately, the trailer and accompanying press launch are quite vague, so… it’s no longer pretty clean what that means just but).

Depending on which of the 2 games gamers choose, they may stumble upon a one of a kind Pokémon professor, Sada in “Pokémon Scarlet” and Turo in “Pokémon Violet.” The net likes them already.

We already knew about the 3 starter Pokémon for era 9: Sprigatito, a grass cat, Fuecoco, a fireplace crocodile, and Quaxly, a knock-off Donald Duck. However we’re getting a few key new data about those pals of their Pokédex entries, specifically, this tidbit: “Quaxly is tidy, and it especially dislikes getting its head grimy.”

Other than Lechonk, we met two more new buddies. Smoliv, a small olive Pokémon, is pleasant. In line with its Pokédex description, Smoliv loves to sunbathe. Then, there’s Pawmi, an electric powered mouse that generates power by rubbin its cheeks. Sounds a bit too familiar, if you know what I imply.

In “Pokémon Sword & protect,” some fan favored Pokémon were to begin with overlooked of the game, sparking controversy (justice for Bulbasaur). To this point within the trailers, we’ve observed species like (deep breath) Magnemite, Lucario, Hoppip, Drifloon, Combee, Meowth, Pikachu, Larvitar, Bagon, Cyrogonal, Fletchling, Flaaffy, Chewtle, Flabébé, Venonat, Coalossal, Mareanie, Lurantis and Gengar.

In the long run, the present day trailer delivered us to this era’s crucial, model-extraordinary mythical Pokémon: Koraidon and Miraidon. However in reality, they’re now not some thing in comparison to Lechonk.
