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

I think they changed it to Karmesin because it just rolls better off the tongue then Scharlach. Scharlach is (at least where I live) a rather rare word to describe color and can be entirely replaced by Karmesin

Them changing Pokken to Pokemon Tekken was so stupid. Pokken sounds like poppen which is a very crude way to describe having sex, but you can do naughty shit with any title and Pokemon Tekken sounds so dumb
 
Other than Farigiraf, these dudes also apparently showed up in the minimap at some point

Interesting to see that the wild "weird terastalize" are easy to recognize and you don't exactly need to catch literally everything you find.

They also seem to confirm that the intention is for every pokemon to have all 18 Tera types. We kinda suspected it, but I guess this does count as official confirmation.
Still has to be seen how that'll work out for "one of" like legendaries.

Apparently it also seems to confirm that the STAB bonus to Same Type Teras is double. So how does the Smogon community feel about that? Still an "insta-ban" kinda thing?

I think most people have already accepted that "istaban" thing is just a overreaction tbh.

I am also very intrigued by the new TM system. Feels like an acceptable compromise between TM and TRs: "easy to get" TMs can likely just be quickly grinded out in materials from wild pokemon (without even doing anything, just sending out pokemon to battle), meanwhile the most powerful ones will require LPs (am i playing League again?) which I'd assume you will gain from the storyes and then prolly postgame activities.


Also, the video pretty much implies there'll be shenenigans at work with the Team Star battles as we expected.
 
So we get some elaboration on gameplay mechanics, especially how wild battling works.

And Girafarig evolution...its name is Farigaraf! Long overdue, the mon finally got the evolved form it deserves!

And Pokemon Picnic is the Pokemon Amie equivalent for this game. And it seems breeding/egg spawning is merged with the Picnic mechanic this time around, and they're bringing back cleaning/washing from Refresh in Gen 7, sounds pretty fun!

And the new TM system is...intriguing to say the least.

Hopefully we learn a bit more as we head closer to release.
