Pokemon Scarlet & Violet - 18th Nov 2022! **OFFICIAL INFO ONLY**

[pkmfan]

There will be transferring from Home, they've already confirmed this. There will likely be DLC, though they have not said as much.

But it will not have every Pokemon. We don't know the exact number, but it will probably wind up similar to SWSH

Thanks. I suppose it will be like SWSH then, most but not all Pokemon after a year or so of expansion packs. I take it there will be 500-600 at launch, with expansions added in a bunch as time goes on.

I would guess more like 400 at launch and then another 200 with DLC, personally.

 

[Worldie]

And there's your GrafAYAYA

That's kind of a Lemure isnt it

 

[Kanburi]

It can't possibly get worse than this, can it..?

 

[R_N]

Grafaiai has a nice weird-cute vibe going on. Hopefully we see the in-game footage soon.

 

[Worldie]

I mean, it marks territory by essentially pooping/vomiting berry residues, I think it can't get much worse

 

[TerrickTerran]

Depending on things, I may use it on my team. I definitely agree on the weird cute vibe.

 

[pecanbegone]

YEEEEEES IT HAS AYE-AYE ACCURATE FREAKISHLY LONG MIDDLE FINGERS LET'S GOOOOOO I TOTALLY CALLED IT someone owes me money, probably

 

[ScraftyIsTheBest]

Ooh it's nice to see this Pokemon in action. It's a weird-looking yet cute paint gremlin, like it a lot.

Hopefully we see some in-game footage of it and get to learn more about its typing and ability soon!

 

[Eclairius]

I wonder if the eaten-berry-changes-the-paint's-color-thing will be translated in gameplay? Type change depending on held berry? return of natural gift?
Also, this thing 100% get Belch.

 

[Sirya]

Is the iaia part pronnounced like you english speakers usually pronounce it?

 

[StarFalcon555]

I love this thing SO MUCH

so much scrunkly energy

definitely going on my team

I will nickname it Stitch

 

[R_N]

Yeah that's about right. "aye aye"/"ai ai" interchangable pronounciation

Website has now also updated with more info

Poison/Normal + Unburden/Poison Touch

 

[StarFalcon555]

Our first ever Poison/Normal type!!!

Unburden is promising too... hopefully it has the stats to make good use of it!

 

[KaenSoul]

Not gonna lie, it looked very ugly in both videos, but the artwork is amazing, a really cool mon.

"Grafaiai is a moody Pokémon with a fastidious disposition. "
Watch this thing having Moody as it's HA.

 

[RocketSurgery]

Oh nice, they actually released the gameplay footage already instead of waiting like a week with Zoroark.

I dig the color scheme. Dunno if it's team-worthy, but I like it well enough.

I'm surprised they actually went with the long middle finger instead of making it one of the other fingers. I imagine the flood of art of Grafaiai flipping the bird to the viewer is already starting.

Hello AG my old friend

Hmm ... I think I will still prefer the classic Fukyumuku.

This design legit looks like someone mashed all 3 Lemurs from Madagascar.

 

[Ironmage]

It feels like a missed opportunity to have the Poison-type artist mon use (edible) berries instead of referencing the large number of historic pigments that ended up being toxic.

There are a lot more than 3 species of lemur

 

[DrPumpkinz]

It probably still is a reference to that, plus graffiti spray being toxic to breathe.

 

[R_N]

I also bet this thing either has a signature move or hidden ability that uses the berries as a mechanic
