This February 27, 2022, The Pokémon Company revealed the first pieces of the 9th generation including two games and three starters.
More than 26 years after the release of the first RPGs in the Pokémon series with Red and Green, the franchise continues to thrill millions of trainers with the announcement of two new games: Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Purple. This announcement took place during Pokémon Presents on the occasion of the annual Pokémon Day.
We were treated to the first official information for the 9th generation but also some for Pokémon Legends: Arceus as well as Pokémon Sparkling Diamond & Sparkling Pearl.
