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

I'd be shocked if we didn't at least see Paradox Entei and Terrakion, maybe one other Pokemon. I imagine a decent amount of the trailer will just be showing off general Blueberry Academy gameplay and probably catching people up on Teal Mask content that wasn't revealed officially before that DLC came out. At the very least I expect the official website to update with artwork and typical promotional info of the Ogerpon forms, Sinistcha, and Bloodmoon Ursaluna
 
The Japanese site has more details while the English site waits

Helpfully summarized in this image like we're a real live service game

Darkrai & Shiny Lucario giveaways (live now), a Dialga & Palkia raid (to go with the Darkrai), and then outbreaks for Flabebe, Litwick & Milcery
& A Masterball giveawawy

We also have official art for Sinistcha & Urasluna Blood Moon. They also went over Ogerpon's gimmicks but no art for them.
 
Putting Legendary Pokémon back into the overworld with ACTUAL sidequests to get them.. that's actually my favourite thing they've done in a long time
Well, it's mor elike you do general sidequests until you earn enough points to buy snacks at which point they show up.

To that extent its similar to BDSP except instead of grinding flowers to buy plates you grind sidequests to buy snacks

Well yeah I know lol - but putting them back into the overworld in seemingly climate-appropriate locations is far better, and helps create more of an "adventure" feeling IMO, rather than just "oh here they are in the endless raid dens" or the other approaches, it feels more authentic to me.

Also, noticed this in the trailer; (spoiler cause big?)

Are we meant to know who this is? the cut off and the surprise is on purpose, so it's a reveal - I want to say it's Penny but like dressed down? But the red shade isn't the same, and I doubt they'd sap her character for some sort of "I've bettered myself!!" reveal?

it could also be nothing but the framing is too suspicious imo

It's definitely Mela, to go with a similar shot in a nearlier trailer wit hGiacomo

Judging by these point payouts I suspect we will be grinding a lot of points


After you talk with special coaches a few times, they’ll offer to trade Pokémon with you. The Pokémon they trade you will have a Ribbon appearing for the first time in the DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet—the Partner Ribbon. If you have a Pokémon wear this Ribbon, it will be bestowed with a title containing the name of its original Trainer that will display when the Pokémon is sent into battle.
That's cute.
I wonder if they might make that available for other trade Pokemon at some point. I gotta let the world know about FREEPOKEMON DOT COM's extremely legitimate Enamorus!

If you donate BP to Blueberry Academy’s Baseball Club, you can change how you throw your Poké Balls. There are many throwing styles to learn. Find your favorite and spice up your Pokémon battles!
Donating to baseball club is very funny

What I do think is interesting: the fire BB member whose name I've forgotten seems to use Exeggutor.

Considering Lacey talks about using cute Pokemon, I think that the E4 might be more akin to like Lance or Steven. They have a primary typing, but pull on Pokemon that fit to their theme.
So fire guy will probably be primarily fire, but use other cooking-based Pokemon. Lacey uses (i assume) Fairies but will probably have other cute Pokemon. Amayris probably uses steel and, Idunno, other punctual or robotic-esque Pokemon.

(Drayten wouldn't surprise me if he broke the mold and just used dragons tho. just the vibe)
 
What I am interested with is the small shot where you are shown using "Iono's magnemite".

Heavy copium for a battle factory facility here. HEAVY COPIUM.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if they're double strategies, similar to Raihan's battle - focuses around primary type + then double strat.

Crispin is probably Sunny Day + Chlorophyll & Amayris could be Steel + Trick Room.

If Lacey is Ground it could be Sandstorm + Sand Rush / Stall for chip damage and then Drayton may be similar to Raihan where there's a mix of combos.
 
I mean the trailer showed yo ugetting it from a trade with Iono, but they explain it on the site: the traded pokemon have a Partner ribbon that displays the trainer's name as a title


It could be a special title like ones given by marks, or maybe a system similar to N's Pokemon in B2W2.
Please sirs let me inhale my copium for this last week before my hopes and dreams are crushed again :(

I thought it'd be out now, or am I missing something?
The trailer? it is out.

The DLCs? You're one week early, release is on the 14
 
While I'm sure there's probably a few things not shown off or hinted at, I think that if there was a Battle Facility they'd probably have just mentioned it here.
Like it feels like it'd be a big enough deal to at least mention in passing.


Instead put your copium to Surely We'll Be Able To Buy Peat Blocks With Blueberry Points, like me
