Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet are 2022 role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for the Nintendo Switch. They are the first instalments in the ninth generation of the Pokémon video game series. First announced in February 2022, they were released on 18 November 2022. The games were accompanied by a downloadable content (DLC) expansion pass storyline, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, the first part, The Teal Mask, released in September 2023, and the second part, The Indigo Disk, planned for release in Winter 2023.

Scarlet and Violet take place in an open world unlike previous Pokémon instalments. The games take place in the Paldea region, based on the Iberian Peninsula. There are three separate stories the player can complete. Scarlet and Violet introduce 110 new Pokémon, along with two new regional forms. Also introduced are time-displaced creatures known as Paradox Pokémon, and the Terastal phenomenon which allows a Pokémon to transform into its exclusive "Tera Type". The games maintain features from previous modern Pokémon games, including large open areas and Pokémon appearing in the overworld.

Scarlet and Violet received mixed reviews from critics, becoming the lowest-rated mainline games in the series. The games were praised for their open world formula and story, while their graphics and technical problems at launch received criticism. The games sold over 10 million copies in their first three days, making them Nintendo's biggest launch of all time, and 22.66 million copies by June 2023.
