For those of us who experienced Arceus' catching style, it will really be hard to go back to the classic battle and catching system. We have yet to see what the battle and catching system looks like, but it's likely more in line with the older-school RPGs than it is with Pokémon Legends: Arceus. In fact, these will be the very first open-world core Pokémon games in the series. The really exciting news is that these are going to be open-world games. The game is set to launch in "late 2022" and if you're excited, you can already preorder Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on Amazon. With help from some iconic visual cues, it looks like this latest entry is inspired by Spain and has a charming art style to match. There's the Grass-type cat, Sprigatito, the Fire-type crocodile, Fuecoco, and the Water-type duck, Quaxly. We got to see the world Gen 9 will take place in along with the starters. Last Sunday, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet were announced during the February 2022 Pokémon Presents. Pokemon Scarlet And Violet Starters Player Home (Image credit: iMore)
