Pokemon Scarlet & Pokemon Violet - General Discussion/Speculation Thread

[Teravolt]

Discuss gen 9 here! I wonder what country it’s based off of…

Also, I claim the cat until further notice.

 

[Wulava]

Discuss the new games here while he wait for a dedicated subforum.

All forum rules apply.

What country is it based off of? I claim the cat until further notice. (my apologies for going ahead and making a gen 9 thread…)

 

[KingMinun]

Not a fan of this new starters just yet.

kinda wish we were staying in gen 8 for the time being, but here we go!
Which country is it? Italy?

I assume Spain. One building reminded me of Sagrada Familia.

Might be Greece or Spain.

Will SV be any good? Releasing only 11 months after L:A doesn’t give me much hope. Its graphics look fine, but is that just promotional material? Or is the reason L:A’s graphics aren’t that great because the game devs have been working on SV the whole time?

 

[MrJechgo]

I have no idea what the Fire Starter is ?_?

I mean, the Grass Starter looks like a kitten, which I hope it turns into a Grass/Dark panther and the Water Starter looks like a duckling, which I hope it turns into a Water/Fighting crane, but the Fire Starter?

A hippo? A lizard? A dinosaur? What is it?

 

[Autobot N]

Looks good so far. Wish they would have teased the Legendaries

The game looks EXACTLY like Legends, and Legends already has graphical issues.

My hopes aren't too high.

Trailers aren't really indicative of the final product. There will be improvements.

This game needs to step it up a bit more than Legends. This is Gen 9 after all.

Gimme the cat! I wanna pet it!

going off the Chinese zodiac theory our new fire starter is the snake

So far, the trailer showed the same faltering frame rates Legends has, and I was hoping they'd fix that in Gen 9.

I'm hoping for the best, but I'm not hoping too much.

Love the game news but the games look ugly

It's an apple crocodile though. But I guess it's reptile anyway. Much like how Typhlosion was the "rat".

 

[Beat!]

Not a big fan of the starters yet, except maybe only the cat.
And neither of the player character if that is indeed him.

 

[Zoruagible]

For the first time since Generation five, I'm going for the Grass starter! All in, like I did with Litten if the others don't improve upon evolving

 

[1991]

I am so excited for this gen! Definitely going for the grass cat.

 

[Bolt the Cat]

Too soon, they should've spent an extra year on this. They have enough trouble making one full scale Pokemon game on console, I cannot see developing LA and SV simultaneously going well.
