Pokemon Leaker Teases Scarlet and Violet's New Systems and Gimmicks

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fans are eagerly waiting for a new trailer or more information from The Pokemon Company regarding the games, be it something about the starters and their evolutions or what the gameplay is going to look like. Although Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's June trailer did share valuable information about the setting, new Pokemon, and the approach to the open world, players are still completely in the dark about some elements. An example is the region's name, which has not yet been disclosed in the two trailers for Gen 9 games, although they did show Professor Sada and Professor Turo as version-exclusive characters.

A known Pokemon leaker, called Riddler Khu, has been steadily sharing information about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, but only in the form of puzzles for the community to solve. A great example comes from Khu hinting at Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's starters and their type combinations when they fully evolve, something that many fans were keen to know beforehand. Still, nothing has surfaced about Gen 9's gimmicks and new systems, but Khu is providing a teaser for those.

One of the new systems that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are going to feature revolves around the flags shown in the June trailer, according to Khu. The flags have fire depicted on them, and they seem to be tied to some form of race, which would make sense considering that Khu has already teased the fact that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Legendaries will be rideable, specifically that they could turn into a motorbike and a jet. This mechanic could mean that players have to reach Gym Leaders across the map with a race, or it could be a way to obtain new Pokemon
