Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Shows First Look At New Paldea Region
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's new region finally has an official name - Paldea - corroborating previous leaks. But what's more, we have a new look at a Paldea variant of Wooper, turning them from blue to brown.

As predicted, Paldean legendaries can also turn into motorcycles, letting you drive around the region to get between cities much faster. Maybe you can even organise a race or two across the Paldean plains.
The name Paldea likely comes from mixing the words Pokemon and Aldea, Spanish for village. On top of the name, we've also gotten some official artwork of the region which depicts a gigantic crater in the centre of an island that's home to luscious plains, an orange mesa, a large beach, snowy mountains, and more. You can see the artwork of it embedded below.
Pokemon describes Paldea as "a sprawling land of vast open spaces - dotted with lakes, towering peaks, wastelands, and perilous mountain ranges." You'll be able to explore this sprawling landscape at your own pace in whatever order you see fit, with 'mons freely roaming the world for you to see. You might even spot a Gyarados or two
