Nintendo has given fans a sneak peek at the very first Pokémon Scarlet and Violet merchandise by revealing adorable plushies of Generation 9 Starters Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. In February, Game Freak surprised fans around the world when they announced that Gen 9 Pokémon Scarlet and Violet would be launching in November 2022. The Nintendo developer further teased the release of the upcoming RPGs in July, by revealing adorable plushies of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's Starter Pokémon.
Game Freak kicked off the reveal of Gen 9 with the debut of Scarlet and Violet's Starters Sprigatito, Quaxly, and Fuecoco. Sprigatito is a Grass-type cat that is described as attention seeking, Fuecoco is a laid-back Fire-type crocodile that likes to eat, and Quaxly is a Water-type duck that is serious and tidy. Players got a deeper look at the new Gen 9 Starter Pokémon in June after Game Freak released a second Pokémon Scarlet and Violet gameplay trailer. A video posted by The Pokémon Company in July has revealed that fans will be able to get the Gen 9 Starters in adorable plush doll form.
