All The New And Returning Pokémon In Pokémon Scarlet & Violet (Nintendo Life)

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are the newest Pokémon games on the block, and the first new mainline entry in the series since Pokémon Sword and Shield came out ...

Potentially, this means that we'll be able to get the legendaries very early on in the game... Perhaps dragon/electric type? Potentially, this means that we'll be able to get the legendaries very early on in the game... Not much is known about Koraidon, but according to Pokéjungle, "korai" means "ancient" in Japanese. He looks dragon-type, at least, maybe with a dual fighting or fire type. Said yeast is useful for cooking, so this Pokémon has been protected by people since long ago." We think he looks a bit like a fat Latias. The oil can also be used as a weapon, but mostly to buy this scaredy-olive time to run away. Chunky. He's fat). He's a normal-type Hog Pokémon, 1'8" tall, and a whopping 22.5 lbs, with the ability Aroma Veil (which repels bug Pokémon) or Gluttony. The website says that he "may appear fat at first glance, but in reality, the Pokémon’s body is mostly muscle built by constantly walking around in search of food." Pawmi is an electric-type Mouse Pokémon (sounds familiar) who stands at just 1 foot tall, and weighs a tiny 5.5 lbs. Fuecoco is a tiny lad known as the "Fire Croc Pokémon", and his name comes from the Spanish "fuego", meaning fire, and "cocodrilo", a crocodile. He's 1'4" tall, 9 lbs, and his ability is Overgrow. We also know that he is capable of photosynthesis, and he has a special move that "releases a sweet aroma" to make opponents lose their will to battle. Scarlet and Violet will be out later this year — the 18th November, 2022, to be exact — and they're both based around the Iberian Peninsula, so expect a lot of Spanish and Portuguese cultural references.

In “Pokémon Go,” Ultrabeasts may now appear, and players can use daily incense to attract several new Pokémon, including legendaries.

The change will likely create waves in the competitive Pokémon community.

Fidough is the newest, cutest, and least gluten-free pokémon (The Verge)

The internet is in love with Fidough, the newest bread dog pokémon revealed in a new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer.

Everything about Fidough has been surgically crafted by The Pokémon Company in order to exploit humanity’s love for carbs and canines. The Pokémon Company done it again. Whenever there’s a new Pokémon game reveal, there’s a brief but wonderful moment when the fanbase gets together to collectively hyper-fixate on one pokémon in particular.

Pokémon fans are creating fan art of Pooper, the new Paldean Wooper (Polygon)

Wednesday's Pokémon Presents revealed a new Wooper variant in the Scarlet and Violet region of Paldea. This toxic-type Pokémon is already earning fan art ...

Also, Wooper is always cute — he’s got that big, silly expression and that open-mouthed sense of wonder. Apparently, living on land for so long has hardened these Paldean Woopers, so I don’t know if you should hug them ... but on the other hand, maybe you should. — ゆらの ⚓︎ 東シ04a (@celmiu)— ゆらの ⚓︎ 東シ04a (@celmiu) pic.twitter.com/PCJDLfSRJV August 3, 2022 Something similar is true for Wooper. In Paldea, Wooper is a poison-type Pokémon who looks juuuuust a little different — and he’s already inspired fan art and memes on social media. One of these is Wooper, the darndest little guy, who is basically a big round head, a smile, and a teeny-tiny little body. Now, fans are going to get an even wider variety of Woopers to enjoy in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's New Gym Leader Makes Fans ... (Kotaku)

Some Pokémon fanartists drew a very well-endowed Grusha before realizing that he's a man.

The Pokémon Twitter account revealed that Grusha used to be a professional snowboarder, and that he is usually cool-headed, except during battles. Transmasculine Grusha would definitely be able to fit a ton of boobage underneath that heavy winter coat. When the Pokémon Presents stream showed off a new ice-type gym leader for the first time, many fans thought the trainer, Grusha, was a girl.

The Newest Pokémon Is An Adorable Yeast-Breathing Bread Dog (Delish.com)

For as long as there have been Pokémon, there have been food-inspired creatures. There's the leek-toting duck Farfetch'd and more recent confections like ...

One thing is for sure: Fidough is a hit with fans. Is Fidough a dog made of bread dough, or a dog that makes bread dough? All of this begs the question: What kind of baked good will Fidough evolve into?!

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Paldea trailer: Pokémon's new region (Polygon)

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will be released on Nintendo Switch on Nov. 18, and ahead of that date, The Pokémon Company revealed more about Paldea region.

Pokémon in Paldea can turn into gemstones with unexpected elemental types; it’s called the Terastal Phenomenon. It sounds like there will also be crystals scattered around the land, used to recharge Tera Orbs embedded in special Tera Orbs: “It’s said that the Terastal energy that seeps from the ground of the Paldea region is involved in the phenomenon,” The Pokémon Company wrote. In fact, the game’s website confirmed that the standard champion quest is one of three storylines to expect in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. (The other two have been kept under wraps for now.) Naranja Academy and Uva Academy, respective to Scarlet and Violet, are open to both children and adults looking to learn about — and with — Pokémon, according to the Scarlet and Violet website.

Video: Are 'Pokémon Presents' Showcases Becoming Too ... (Nintendo Life)

What did we think of the latest presentation? - Yesterday's Pokémon Presents brought us a ton of new info on generation 9...

Alex, Zion, and Felix have gathered to pick apart the presentation, debate the pros and cons, and tell us what they like. Of course, Scarlet & Violet weren't the only games that got some time in the limelight, but it's what we're probably most happy with. Some of us loved what we saw, particularly from generation 9, but it also has some of us asking — have Pokémon Presents become a bit too predictable?

The Nuzlocke Challenge is the best way to make Pokémon more ... (Polygon)

The Nuzlocke Challenge is a great way for fans of Pokémon to make playing the game more challenging. Here's why it's so popular and what inspired it.

You need to know specific details, like whether your opponent’s Pokémon have better physical attack or special attack, so you can use a Pokémon with a high physical or special defense stat to match — because even a simple trainer battle can have you fighting for your life depending on the scenario. That way, you’ll also know which Pokémon are available on which routes, so can anticipate which Pokémon you might catch — and you can make sure to keep the right Pokémon at the front of your party to optimize elemental matchups. The challenge goes against the series’ slogan of “catching ’em all.” Still, the challenge has since gone on to become a fan-favorite way of playing. - Every time you enter a new route or area with Pokémon, you have to catch the very first Pokemon you encounter. While the friendliness and overall approachability of the franchise likely has contributed to its vast appeal, it can also leave a lot to be desired for longtime players. The RPG franchise has largely stayed true to its original premise of catching and fighting Pokémon since Pokémon Red and Green came out in Japan in 1996.

New Pokemon Merch May Be Bad News for Eevee Fans (Game Rant)

New Pokemon merch that is supposedly being made for the ninth generation anime may have bad news for Eevee fans. pokemon scarlet and violet terastal eevee.

Now, it's entirely possible that a new Eevee evolution will make its way to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and this merch means nothing, so fans should keep that in mind. Since the merch only features the existing Eevee evolutions, it seemingly confirms that there will be no new Eevee evolution in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The last time a new Eevee evolution was introduced was in 2013's Pokemon X and Y when Fairy-type Sylveon made its debut.
