With Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, the Pokémon series takes a new evolutionary step, allowing you to explore freely in a richly expressed open world.

In addition, in these games, you’ll be able to experience the true joy of the Pokémon series—battling against wild Pokémon in order to catch them—now in an open-world game that players of any age can enjoy.
As one of the main characters, you’ll jump into the world of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet to go on your adventure. Your outfit will also vary depending on whether you play Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet. Who knows what kind of story awaits you?
The three Pokémon from which you’ll be able to choose your first partner in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet are the Grass Cat Pokémon Sprigatito, the Fire Croc Pokémon Fuecoco, and the Duckling Pokémon Quaxly.
How will you meet these three, and what sorts of Pokémon are they? Please look forward to finding out.
After their release, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet will be able to link with Pokémon HOME. By linking these games with Pokémon HOME, you’ll be able to have Pokémon from other regions adventure alongside you in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet!

What is Pokémon Day?
The first games in the Pokémon series, Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green were released in Japan on February 27, 1996. For the Pokémon brand that was born from these games, this was a day of beginnings truly worth commemorating. February 27 has come to be known and celebrated by fans outside Japan as Pokémon Day.
To spread awareness of the special day in Japan as well, the Pokémon Company has set February 27 as Pokémon Day and had the anniversary recognized by the Japan Anniversary Association. In establishing this special day, we hope to express our gratitude to everyone who has supported Pokémon over the years.
