Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have been announced with a short trailer during the Pokemon Presents for Pokemon Day 2022. As the kickoff to Gen 9, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will introduce players to a whole new region with new Pokemon. With release dates later in 2022, this continues the three-to-four year pattern that each generation of Pokemon generally follows. Despite this, and greater hype seemingly built around Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, information on the games are still sparse.
