Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC Should Fix One Potential Missed Opportunity
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are less than three months away, and many fans are eager to start their adventure in the Paldea region with brand-new companions Fuecoco, Sprigatito, and Quaxly. Despite the fact that Gen 9 is four trailers deep into their reveal cycle, very little is currently known about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's new pocket monsters, leaving most of the information available coming from leaks. Scarlet and Violet have only officially revealed 12 new Pokemon, and this may be concerning when comparing Gen 9 to past games.
Leakers suggest that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's number of new species is 105, with them being divided into 84 Gen 9-exclusive evolution lines, five cross-gen evolutions, and a total of 16 Paradox Pokemon.

As it stands, no leaks indicate that the three starters and their evolutions have a Paradox form in Gen 9 games, which is a missed opportunity that potential DLC should fix.
