Pokemon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet get a new trailer and release date

Nintendo just dropped three minutes worth of Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet courtesy of a new full-length trailer. What we get is a sneak peek at some new gameplay features, new Pokemon, new places, and an actual release date.

You can check out the trailer here:

We have three new starters, two new Pokemon Professors, and a brand new world to run around and explore. A new 4-person coop function looks to allow you and three other friends explore, battle, and capture Pokemon together. We see some shades of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, albeit more polished, and of course, given the setting, more modern.

Pinoy Pride intensifies.

Lastly, we get a brief glimpse of our two flagship Legendary Pokemon in the form of Koraidon and Miraidon. Definitely a lot to take in, and a whole lot more to look forward to.

Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet were announced in February during a Pokémon Presents broadcast for Pokémon Day. This is the ninth generation of Pokemon we’ll be getting, and the latest installment to give us the open-world experience we’ve all been craving for since childhood.

The game is set for worldwide release on the Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2022.
