About Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet:
Welcome to the wide-open world of the Paldea region – Catch, battle, and train Pokémon in the Paldea Region, a vast land filled with lakes, towering peaks, wastelands, small towns, and sprawling cities. Explore a wide-open world at your own pace and traverse land, water, and air by riding on a form-shifting Legendary Pokémon—Koraidon in the Pokémon Scarlet game and Miraidon in the Pokémon Violet game. Choose either Sprigatito, Fuecoco, or Quaxly, to be your first partner Pokémon before setting off on your journey through Paldea.
Pick your path – There is no set path on your Paldea adventure, so you can weave freely through three grand stories:
- Victory Road – Along Victory Road, you will challenge Gyms in different locations and aim to achieve Champion Rank.
- Path of Legends – On the Path of Legends, take on gigantic Titan Pokémon that guard rare ingredients.
- ★ Starfall Street ★ – In ★ Starfall Street ★, you’ll use the Auto Battle feature to take on Team Star grunts from your school in order to reach their boss.
Which will you choose?
- SPRIGATITO – The Grass Cat Pokémon – Capricious and attention seeking, it may sulk if it sees its Trainer giving attention to a Pokémon other than itself.
- FUECOCO – The Fire Croc Pokémon – Fuecoco is laid-back and does things at its own pace. It loves to eat, and it will sprint toward any food it finds with a glint in its eye.
- QUAXLY – The Duckling Pokémon – This serious-mannered Pokémon will follow in its Trainer’s wake. It’s tidy, and it especially dislikes getting its head dirty.
Even more fun with multiplayer – Discover new Pokémon and explore unfamiliar areas with your friends and family!:
- Pokémon HOME – With Pokémon HOME, you can move Pokémon between compatible games, trade Pokémon on the go, and more!
- Poké Portal – Along with series staples, such as trading and battling** Pokémon, you will be able to explore the various locations of the region in these games with other players.
