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.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Trailer Shows Off New Pokemon ... (CNET)

The Pokemon Company has shared a new trailer for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, giving fans a closer look at the upcoming Nintendo Switch games ahead of their ...

Among other things, the trailer showcased a handful of new Pokemon that players will meet in the game, including Fidough, a fairy-type puppy Pokemon made of dough. This versatility will come in handy, as the Paldea region is vast and geographically diverse. This is the first fully open-world backdrop in series history.

How to watch Pokemon Presents today for more Pokemon Scarlet ... (GamesRadar+)

Yesterday, The Pokemon Company announced that it would be hosting another Pokemon Presents stream to share updates on Pokemon apps and video games, including ...

In terms of other Pokemon news to expect, as the tweet (opens in new tab) announcing the stream said, we will be getting "updates on Pokémon apps and video games." Especially since there was a leak that included these details as recently as last month. We may be in for a few surprises too, especially considering there probably isn't much more to know about the generation nine game since we already know the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet release date, the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Legendaries, and the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starters.

Everything We Know About Gyms In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (Kotaku)

You'll be tackling gyms as a school assignment in the Paldea region.

Depending on which version of the game you have, you’ll either be attending Narania (Scarlet) or Uva (Violet). As part of your curriculum, you’ll be embarking on a “treasure hunt” throughout the Paldea region. This isn’t the first time that Pokémon has experimented with an unconventional gym system. You’ll be playing as a student at an academy, and beating some of the toughest trainers in the region is just part of your school assignment.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet new Pokémon: Fidough and Cetitan (Polygon)

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are the next generation of mainline Pokémon games. Cetitan is the “Terra Whale Pokémon” and an ice type. The trailer wasn’t filled to the brim with new Pokémon. The new Paldea region appears to bring together a collection of old Pokémon from across the generations. The trailer showed old favorites like Pikachu, Rotom, and Arcanine. However, we did get two completely new Pokémon, as well as a new form of another. Said yeast is useful for cooking, so this Pokémon has been protected by people since long ago. Here is the developer’s official description:

New Pokémon Scarlet and Violet trailers showcase Paldea (Pocket-lint.com)

The trailer showcases players' ability to move around the open world on motorbike-like Pokémon, the cover stars of each game - Koraidon and Miraidon.

Also unveiled is a new system called Terastalising, which turns your Pokémon into a crystalline version of itself that may be a totally different type than before, according to stats you'll discover when you catch them. For the first time, you'll be able to complete these gyms in any order, though, which is fun. With a walkthrough following the trailer, there's a whole lot of new information about the games.

Open-world 'Pokémon Scarlet and Violet' features motorcycle ... (The Washington Post)

Wednesday's Pokemon Presents teased the new mainline entries, updates to published games and the location of the 2022 Pokémon World Championships.

The live stream started with the reveal of the location of the Pokémon World Championships for 2022, with the event returning in-person in London after a pandemic-related hiatus. “Pokémon Masters EX,” which turns three years old, teased a new feature called trainer’s lodge, which appeared to show your trainer units interacting in one hub-like area. In “Pokémon Go,” Ultrabeasts may now appear, and players can use daily incense to attract several new Pokémon, including legendaries.

Pokemon Scarlet & Violet let you 'Terastallize' your critters as a new ... (Shacknews)

Whether it was Mega Evolutions in Pokemon X and Y or Gigantamax Pokemon in Pokemon Sword and Shield, these twists provide interesting new variations on Pokemon ...

Players will be able to take part in Raids with up to two other players via Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s co-op features (a total of three trainers in a Raid in all). At the end of Pokemon Raids, players will have a better chance of running into Pokemon with rare Tera Types. By defeating these perpetually Terastallized Pokemon, you’ll be given the opportunity to catch them and bring special Tera Types into your overall collection. Tracking down Pokemon with rare Tera Types will be part of the overall grind of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, but it will also be a key component of new co-op raids. Every recent generation of Pokemon usually has some kind of interesting gimmick or twist when it comes to various features of the core game.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet in-game world confirmed to be called ... (GamesRadar+)

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's in-game world is called Paldea, confirming a leak from last month. Earlier today on August 3, a brand new Pokemon Presents ...

The words "naranja," which means "orange" in Spanish," and "uva," which means "grape," could be heard in the brand new trailer. We now finally know the name of the land we'll be venturing around come later this year in November. Earlier today on August 3, a brand new Pokemon Presents showcase gave us new details on both Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. One interesting new detail is that the whole in-game world for both new games is called Paldea (as we can tell from the name of the very presentation below), which gives credence to a detail that was leaked last month.

Terastallize and get Tera types in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (WIN.gg)

Since Pokemon X and Y introduced mega evolution, each generation has had a unique addition to battling. Pokemon Sun and Moon brought in Z-Moves, Sword and ...

The addition of the Terastallize mechanic and Tera types replaces the Dynamax feature of Pokemon Sword and Shield. Dynamax allowed players to recall and re-summon their Pokemon with a significant increase in size and health. Since Pokemon X and Y, a new gimmick that defines the battle system has been introduced. While Z-Moves and Mega Evolution fit together comfortably as an extra wrinkle to held items, that isn’t the case with Gigantamax. Gigantamax is a completely new mechanic that doesn’t leave room for other mechanics. The Pokemon reverts back to their normal type after the battle. This new gimmick is similar to mega evolution, allowing Pokemon to change form within a battle. This new battle mechanic is a balanced answer to Dynamax and Gigantamax, which sometimes caused serious balance issues.

Pokémon Scarlet And Violet's Fidough Is A Good Boy Everyone's ... (Kotaku)

f. Fidough, the latest Pokémon announcement, is a puppy made of uncooked bread. I. Image: Nintendo / Kotaku. Watch. Garfield, Spyro, And More Sweet Stray ...

I’m sorry if you came here for coverage of the unbelievably cute-looking bread-dog, and instead received the news that it’s both “moist and smooth”, and suffers from an oral yeast infection. Or would that knock all the air out of a Fidough, and you’d have to leave it to prove for another hour and a half? Fidough ferments things in its vicinity using the yeast in its breath. Today’s presentation described it as, “delightfully squishy Pokémon that are smooth to the touch.” There’s nothing I like about that sentence either. Except. “Fidough’s moist, smooth skin has elastic qualities and is both firm and soft at the same time,” begins the chill-inducing description in Nintendo’s official press release. The stand-out being the inexplicable Fidough, a cute little puppy that’s seemingly...uncooked bread?

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet co-op encourages adventure and ... (Polygon)

A new trailer showcasing Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet showed off multiplayer features like trading Pokémon and battling trainers from all over the ...

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet will also have Link Battles, as in previous titles. You can also Surprise Trade, which will let you select a Pokémon and trade with a random player. You and your friends can also work together to beat Tera Pokémon in Tera Raid Battles, fighting to add Terastal Pokémon — the new gem-looking form of Pokémon, unique to the Paldea region — to your Pokédex. Together you can “battle wild Pokémon,” adventure “through the open fields of the Paldea region,” and “spend time with your friends how you want to,” according to a release. Scarlet and Violet allowing real-time multiplayer exploration, especially in the mainline portions of the game, would be a significant step forward. But Scarlet and Violet will also have co-op play for up to four total trainers, expanding the ways you and your friends can enjoy the new region of Paldea.

The change will likely create waves in the competitive Pokémon community. We don’t know which specific Pokémon will get which Terastal powers, but the trailer showed off a few specific examples, including Pikachu changing from electric type to flying type, and Eevees turning both water and grass type after Terastallizing. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet got a new trailer on Wednesday, which revealed more about what our journeys in the Paldea region will look like.

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.
