The Pokemon Company has announced that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, a brand new open-world Pokemon adventure, will be released on Nintendo Switch in late 2022.
This was announced during Pokemon Day 2022’s Pokemon Presents. These two new Game Freak-developed games will feature a new region and its three new Gen 9 starter Pokemon have already been revealed. In the starting, the Trainers will need to choose between the Grass Cat Sprigatito, the Fire Croc Fuecoco, or the Water Duckling Quality.
Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet Announced for Late 2022
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are an “evolutionary” step for the Pokemon franchise and feature an “open world where various towns with no borders blend seamlessly into the wilderness.” The Pokemon Company also notes that “Pokemon can be seen everywhere in this wide-open world – in the skies, in the sea, and on the streets.”
While we obviously don’t all the differences between the two versions, it has been revealed that Trainers will “have a different outfit depending on which game they are playing.”

Sprigatito the Grass Cat has the Overgrow ability and its description says they are “capricious” and “attention-seeking.” Fuoco the Fire Croc has the Blaze ability and is “laid-back” and “does things at its own pace.” Quickly the Water Duckling has the Torrent ability and is “earnest and tidy.” Though those are the only new Pokemon revealed so far, we’ve determined 50 Pokemon confirmed for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet from the trailer and screenshots.
