So soon huh...?

We just got Pokemon Legends Arceus less than a month ago. I know it wasn’t meant to be a mainline series game, but still, they shifted their focus real quick. Sorry but the starters aren’t immediately capturing my interest so far. Maybe they’ll grow on me, but I’m sure those names won’t aside from Quaxly maybe. Hopefully the game plays like Pokémon Legends Arceus, I heard that game took a step in the right direction for the series, so it would make sense for them to do that here.

The website has been updated:

The Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games, the newest chapters in the Pokémon series, are coming to Nintendo Switch later this year. With these new titles, the Pokémon series takes a new evolutionary step, allowing you to explore freely in a richly expressed open world.

Various towns blend seamlessly into the wilderness with no borders. You’ll be able to see the Pokémon of this region in the skies, in the seas, in the forests, on the streets—all over! You’ll be able to experience the true joy of the Pokémon series—battling against wild Pokémon in order to catch them—now in an open-world game that players of any age can enjoy.

As one of the main characters, you’ll set off on your adventure. Your outfit will vary depending on whether you play Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet. Who knows what kind of story awaits you?

The games looks amazing. Sword and Shield look more advanced but this feels more like a Pokemon game. I can't wait to see how the anime adapts from this change.

Some people think the Hisuian Pokémon indicate time travel, however like you mentioned I bet they’re just more advanced Fossil Pokémon.
Here’s a good theory. As you can see above the character outfits for each game have emblems on their shoulder, and they’re both different. The outfits seem to be school outfits, so what if the emblems are both for competing schools. You join one of them depending on the version, and the professor is a teacher in that school. By the way, the trailer showed emblems as well. Food for thought.

Gen 9 is looking pretty sweet! I love how it is another Open World Pokemon Game like Legends Arceus. It's like Pokemon is using the best parts of their Past Games and just putting them in Scarlet and Violet which is really Awesome! I can't wait for the rest of the News and Stuff to leak and be revelead!

Not confirmed, just a theory, but it would make sense.

In various images of the Scarlet and Violet Japanese logos they contain stars which are seen in various moments during the trailer.

Yeah I’ve just seen them, they could be potentially related to the new mechanic.

Here are my theories:

Mechanic:
During battle, you will be able to change the type of your Pokemon. Your moves that are not the type you changed into will change into predetermined ones, and the Pokemon's appearance will change to fit it's type.

Story
The start of the story will revolve around you going to 1 of 2 schools based on what game you chose. They will be rival schools due to their different values. The Scarlet one is traditional, meanwhile the Violet one is modern. The professor is a teacher in one of these schools, and you get your starter from him. After catching Pokemon and doing tasks around town you fight your first Gym Leader, which is the Principal. Afterwards you've graduated to the next grade, and are tasked with exploring other areas outside of town.

Characters
Friendly Rival: Your first friend that you made at school.
Main Rival: A student from the opposite school with despises your school.
Evil Team: A team themed around spiders, they wish to to the useless feuds around the Region through force.

If All 1000 Pokémon eventually come to the game (this gen will push the count to 1000), then it would be really hard to implement the type& appearance change thing. I doubt game freak would do that kind of thong, it would just take too much work.

It's already been confirmed that will not happened since you can't transfer all Home Pokemon into Scarlet and Violet, only ones already obtainable in the game.

I hope Stuff Like Shaymin and the Kalos Starters appear this gen other then that I think Poke-Co is losing ideas Like really "Violet and Scarlet"?

No offense, but they are not losing any ideas. Here's How:

-Created Remakes
-New Past Region
-New Pokémon
-If you think they are running out of ideas then please check these titles because they took SOOOO much thought into these ones.
-Black/White
-X/Y
-Sun/Moon
-Sword/Shield
They never lost any ideas it is always a switch of the opposite word.

It’s probably be like sw/sh, where over time they put more Pokémon Into the game with DLC, so the mojority of the 1000 will enter the game, and having different forms for at least 500 Pokémon would still be too much for them.

I actually have high hopes for this new game! Seeing how Legends Arceus was handled and this new game being open world I'm very excited! One thing I do dislike is the new main characters, compared to all the others (Red, Blue, Dawn, Gloria, etc) they look like npc characters but it might grow on me. Also the last time we had colors was Black and White and those games were awesome so hopefully this doesn't deface the color gens!
