New Pokemon have been announced - Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

This year will be remembered among fans of Pokemon games as the year in which two new Pokemon games were released. It’s only been a month since the release of Pokemon Legends Arceus, a game that has significantly refreshed the old formula of Pokemon games, and Nintendo and Game Freak yesterday already announced the next game to arrive in late 2022 exclusively on Switch.

Pokemon Scarlet / Violet will continue in the footsteps of Pokemon Legends Arceus. This means that it will bring freer movement through the open world. Cities will not be separated from the rest of the world, and beaches and deserts are just some of the locations where we will find Pokemon.

Admittedly, don't expect the Graphic Shift vs. Arceus - Scarlet / Violet brings a bit more colorful surroundings and bigger cities, but it still looks below average technically, especially compared to the recently announced Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

As this is the next game from the main Pokemon series, it will also bring a new generation, ie new types of Pokemon. The initial three Pokemon will be Spirigato, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. Here are their statistics:
