The announcement ofPokemon ScarletandPokemon Violetfor release in late 2022 came as an exciting surprise. However, the announcement came surprisingly early and has since leftPokemonfans wondering when Game Freak will choose to share more information regarding the upcomingPokemonRPGs. While nothing has been officially announced, there may be some new info arriving soon. A JapanesePokemonshow says that it will have news regardingPokemongames, perhaps implyingPokemon ScarletandVioletnews is on the way.The tease comes from the JapanesePokemonvariety show PokeDoko. The show outlined the content planned for the next episode of the show and included that it will have “the latest information onPokemongames!” While it doesn’t explicitly state that it has new information regardingPokemon ScarletandViolet,Pokemonfanswho are anxious for Game Freak to share anything about the upcoming games are hopeful for a reveal of some kind.RELATED:Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Fan Designs Their Own Starter 2nd Forms and Final EvolutionsThe next episode of thePokeDoko showwill air on April 24, which means that whatever it’s showing will be seen this upcoming Saturday or early Sunday in the west. However, more information on the tease is expected to be delivered before the show airs, so further hints could be delivered mid-week. At the very least, there should be clarification regarding whether it’s information aboutPokemon ScarletandVioletor not.
What needs to be pointed out is that the PokeDoko announcement does not necessarily make obvious whether it has previously unannounced information to share or not. The language it uses for the announcement could imply that it will simply be recapping previous announcements. It also could be referring to otherPokemongames, includingPokemon Brilliant DiamondandShining PearlorPokemon Legends Arceus. There’s also been news teased regarding changes toPokemon Homein recent weeks.
Unfortunately, that frustrating uncertainty what fans can expect through the rest of 2022. Nintendo andGame Freakare known for slowly trickling out information about majorPokemongame releases month by month. There could be some newPokemonreveals this month, a new trailer next month, and then nothing at all the month after that.
AllPokemonfans can do is remain patient and know that information regardingPokemon ScarletandVioletwill be shared before the game arrives later this year. Also,Pokemongamesare rarely delayed, so regardless of when more information is shared, the two games should reliably launch later this year.
