A little over a month after the successful release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, The Pokémon Company is back with the presentation of its ninth generation of Pokémon games. Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple are coming to Switch.
If it was almost inevitable that a new generation of Pokémon games would take precedence over the eighth generation three years after its release, the announcement of the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple was still relatively surprising at the end of the month of February. Just four weeks after the release of the respected Pokémon Legends: Arceus, The Pokémon Company is giving us the opportunity to experience the pristine worlds of these ninth generation Pokémon games. According to their publisher Game Freak, they will offer a true open world formula, the opportunity for the Japanese formula to reach new heights. Releases planned for the end of 2022 on Nintendo consoles of course.

A new region
Although it was not clearly named during Pokémon Presents this Sunday, February 27, a new region will host the plot of the Pokémon Purple and Pokémon Scarlet games. Our favorite trainers will be able to discover new Pokémon there, a world “for young and old” that can be explored entirely in an open way, without transition between areas and offering many new features that will quickly convince fans and addicts of the Pokémon formula. . Visually, the world of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet is reminiscent of certain European coasts. To be continued…
Three new starters
If you wanted to vary your first hours of play in the new Pokémon games of 9G a little, it’s something to celebrate. There will be three new starters, who are none other than Poussacha, Coiffeton and Chochodile. Our three little comrades offer us a new way to discover the new world of these ninth generation Pokémon games. And out of the question to deprive yourself of it. Poussacha is a grass-type Pokemon, while Coiffeton is water-type and Chochodile is fire-type.
