While Pokemon Legends: Arceus has been busy reinventing the proverbial Pokemon wheel as well as dominating Switch sales, Game Freak has apparently been working on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which will be the next two entries and mark Pokemon's 9th generation of games. Not only have Pokemon Scarlet and Violet been announced, but they have also been confirmed for release later this year, rounding out a year that has so far redefined the Pokemon gaming experience.
