Pokémon Variety Show Might Have Updates On Scarlet & Violet

screenrant.com:

After several months of waiting, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet news may be announced at the upcoming Pokémon variety show next week. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet were originally announced on Pokémon Day 2022 via a gameplay trailer showcasing early footage of the new Generation Nine region. Outside of Scarlet and Violet's starter Pokémon, however, little is known about the region, and many are eager to learn more about the next adventure in the Pokémon series.

While recent games like Sword and Shield and Pokémon Legends: Arceus have experimented with mechanics not seen in previous Pokémon games, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet appear to be the big step the series has needed in recent years. It has been announced the games will be set in a fully open-world region and that Pokémon will again be appearing in the overworld as players explore. However, it isn't currently known what battle systems will be like, how the open-world mechanics in Scarlet and Violet will work, or if players will be participating in a Championship Gym Badge system.
