Pokemon Scarlet and Violet announcement trailer
The trailer starts with a security guard patrolling an office building at night. Strange things start to happen when they reach the Game Freak department, including a flickering of the lights and a brightly lit room beyond a door. A foreshadowing scarlet and violet glow eerily shines on one of the walls. Beyond the doorway is a room of curiosities. After a sudden breeze and another flickering of lights, the camera zooms towards a brightly lit frame.
Fading in from white, the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer shows glimpses of the new region and new Pokemon towns. Familiar Pokemon including Pikachu, Drifloon, Combee and Meowth make their appearances in what seems to be a lush open-world environment, not too dissimilar to Pokemon Sword and Shield. More scenes showcasing a Pokemon town square and other urban areas follow, plus a close-up of a rather charming Dratini fountain outside a manor.
The trailer then shows a house by a cliff-side. A young trainer runs up to the house, while another wanders around inside. After walking past a white Nintendo Switch, the trailer transitions back to a real-life Switch OLED, with the security guard in awe of what just happened. They shine their torch towards the frame and it reveals the three new starter Pokemon. The Pokemon opening theme begins to sound, followed by the new titles appearing on screen: Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, and release date info.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet story and gameplay
We don’t know much about the new Pokemon entry’s story or gameplay yet. My initial thoughts after seeing sunny settings, big town plazas, terracotta roof tiles and other house features, is that Scarlet and Violet may be inspired by the likes of Spain and Italy. As for gameplay, we’re yet to see any Pokemon battles or exploration yet but we’ll make sure to update this section as more glimpses of the game become available.
That’s all for now! Will you be pre-ordering the all-new entry right away, or will you be waiting for more news and information about the game? More importantly, are you Team Scarlet or Team Violet?
