Pokemon Violet (Nintendo Switch, 2022)

Pokémon Violet invites Trainers to a bold new open-world adventure in the stunning Paldea region. Discover a vast land of shimmering lakes, rugged peaks, quiet towns, and bustling cities—all teeming with wild Pokémon and countless discoveries. With no set path to follow, you’ll explore freely as you choose your first partner—Sprigatito, Fuecoco, or Quaxly—and set off on a journey like no other.

Ride the Legendary Pokémon Miraidon to travel across land, sea, and sky as you navigate three unique storylines, including the classic Gym challenge where you choose the order of battles on your quest for Champion Rank. Dive into Terastallization, a powerful new mechanic that gives Pokémon crystalline forms and unlocks their hidden Tera Types, amplifying their attacks and strategy in battle. The Paldea region also features a prestigious academy, where you’ll meet professors, take classes, and embark on a “Treasure Hunt” to uncover what makes your journey special.
