Pokémon Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet General Discussion

No official news yet but there's some info that's "leaked" by a very reputable chinese leaker. He's hinting that the ScarVio legends will be Dragon/Fighting and Dragon/Electric. I really hope not, considering how I'm tired of Dragon being a legendary typing. Take what I'm putting on here with bags of salt. I'm pretty positive we'll get more official info after Golden Week.
I am surprised how "quiet" things have been since this game has been announced. I have a feeling it could get delayed (which I won't be surprised if it does). I know some people are going to go off on "leaks" but take things with a grain of salt.
 
As a random thought, I really hope the rest of the dex consists primarily of Pokemon we can't catch in the other Switch games. I just want to transfer these shinies on my Home account to an actual game.
 
It looks good! I was worried at the beginning that performance wasn't being improved, but as the trailer continued I didn't see it there as bad at all. This makes me feel a little better about the lag problem but I'm still going to be weary of it since there are weather and seasonal cycles involved. I'd definitely pick violet after seeing the legendaries if I were to get a copy. I feel like these are better designed than sword and shield ones. Hmm, I'll have to keep an eye on this game for dumping. I'm personally still going to stay skeptical for my own benefit.
 
Well I seen the new trailer and (sigh) I am feeling mixed on it. On hand it does look better than the last trailer with the graphics, there are some new Pokémon that I haven't seen before, and of course it has that Legends Arceus feel to it so I know for a fact its going to be open world, but still part of me is still worried that they are going back to their routes of Pokémon. I still have no idea what the story is and if there is a new evil team we have to deal with and if we are going back to fighting gym leaders and becoming champion yet again.

I could be wrong, and I hope I'm wrong so I am still giving this game the benefit of the doubt that it can be better than Sword and Shield. The new legendries look pretty cool and its coming out by November 18, 2022 (I wont be surprised if it gets delayed though)
 
As a pig enthusiast.... Lechonk. Chonky. My best friend.

The legendaries look kinda like Digimon tbh! Something very sci-fi about their appearances.

Not sure if I'll be playing this iteration of Pokemon (haven't even finished Legends or BD/SP yet) but I'm here to see what S/V will bring to the table.
 
eh. not keen on the idea of game-exclusive professors. i wanted to choose violet, but i don't want to be stuck with the ugly as heck gigachad-looking dude even if i do suspect i'll agree with his 'stance' more. the scarlet professor having fangs looks pretty stupid. i don't care for either of the legendary designs, so that's not going to sway me, fortunately. i'll probably wait to see what the other version exclusives are and see if the clothes (assuming there's customization) are being made version-exclusive too. if they are, i'll probably have to go violet and just ignore mr. ugly.

on the bright side, at least that female 'rival' i've finally been waiting for is here.
 
Neither of the legendaries do much for me. I’ll probably go with Violet since I like the professor more.

I adore the other newly revealed Pokémon though. All three of them are equally adorable. Lechonk and Smoliv will definitely be on my team!
