The announcement of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet during today's Pokemon Presents took the Internet by the storm. While Generation 9 games were rumored to come this year, the counterargument of Pokemon Legends: Arceus releasing a month ago was valid. Yet, Game Freak has apparently been operating with multiple teams, meaning it can still have Generation 9 games in the holiday season of 2022. During today's presentation, Nintendo also revealed the three starters for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: a cute Grass-type cat with a leafy tail, a lively Fire-type crocodile with apple (or pepper) features, and an adorable Water-type duck with a blue hat.
