Pocket Monsters Scarlet and Violet

The newest Pokemon saga has arrived as fans and newcomers are welcome to a whole new world and a whole new way to enjoy their newest Pokemon adventure. Prepare for a magnificent ride toward the vibrant region of Paldea.

Welcome to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the newest chapter of the Pokemon franchise where players have been given unprecedented freedom to explore the Paldea region their way. Using every know-how from the previous game, Pokemon Legends Arceus, Scarlet and Violet deliver an open-world freedom that is so great, even your online buddies can enjoy and cross paths with you every time.

As a trainer who is enrolled in the academy, you will explore the vast wonders of the Paldea region on your own terms, catching Pokemon, battling trainers, uncovering secrets, saving the day, and fighting your way toward the Champion rank, this is the taste of your Paldean adventure and no matter which path you'll choose, it's all about being ready for everything in this game.

Because catching Pokemon is the cream of the crop of the games, the Paldea region is home to new and returning Pokemon such as the starters (Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly), Pokemon that can be commonly caught in the wild such as Lechonk, Smoliv, and Pawmi, and some version exclusives such as Armarogue for Scarlet players and Ceruledge for Violet players. Of course, like all good installments, trading's also a great way to complete your Paldean Pokedex, and later on in 2023, you can transfer your favorites from past installments and Pokemon Go via Pokemon Home connectivity. Better remind yourselves about the Gimmighoul.

The Paldea region is home to a mysterious phenomenon known as Terastal Phenomenon. By terastallizing a Pokemon, it changes its type to its Tera Type, a newfound advantage to cover its weaknesses. For instance, a Pikachu with a Flying Tera Type will be immune to Ground-type attacks, or a Tyranitar with a Ghost Tera Type will save you from a Fighting-type attack. If you teach a Pokemon with a Tera Blast move via TM, this move will attack using the same Tera Type it's on. Terastallizing is a new way to turn the tables of the battle.

Of course, every Pokemon has a different Tera Type so you can't say which is which. However, if you are looking for a Pokemon with the desired Tera Type you'll need, Tera Raid Battles is a way to go. By teaming up with other players, you can defeat and catch the Pokemon you'll need for future battles.

There are lots of new features in the game such as the Let's Go feature where you'll let your Pokemon do the battling as well as the Picnic feature where you can have fun with your favorite Pokemon and feed them sandwiches to make them more friendly to you. You can even personalize your Trainer Card as well as take pictures with you and your pals. Another enriching way to get used to this new region.

With new and exciting features that will keep you hooked to these installments, Scarlet and Violet truly is a bold new step forward for the Pokemon franchise. Like it or not, these new franchises will deepen your love for all things Pokemon further, and with you and your pals setting foot in the Paldea region, consider yourselves Bienvenidos, amigos.
