The announcement of Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet for release in late 2022 came as an exciting surprise. However, the announcement came surprisingly early and has since left Pokemon fans wondering when Game Freak will choose to share more information regarding the upcoming Pokemon RPGs. While nothing has been officially announced, there may be some new info arriving soon. A Japanese Pokemon show says that it will have news regarding Pokemon games, perhaps implying Pokemon Scarlet and Violet news is on the way.The tease comes from the Japanese Pokemon variety show PokeDoko. The show outlined the content planned for the next episode of the show and included that it will have "the latest information on Pokemon games!" While it doesn't explicitly state that it has new information regarding Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Pokemon fans who are anxious for Game Freak to share anything about the upcoming games are hopeful for a reveal of some kind.The next episode of the PokeDoko show will air on April 24, which means that whatever it's showing will be seen this upcoming Saturday or early Sunday in the west. However, more information on the tease is expected to be delivered before the show airs, so further hints could be delivered mid-week. At the very least, there should be clarification regarding whether it's information about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet or not.
What needs to be pointed out is that the PokeDoko announcement does not necessarily make obvious whether it has previously unannounced information to share or not. The language it uses for the announcement could imply that it will simply be recapping previous announcements. It also could be referring to other Pokemon games, including Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl or Pokemon Legends Arceus. There's also been news teased regarding changes to Pokemon Home in recent weeks.
Unfortunately, that frustrating uncertainty what fans can expect through the rest of 2022. Nintendo and Game Freak are known for slowly trickling out information about major Pokemon game releases month by month. There could be some new Pokemon reveals this month, a new trailer next month, and then nothing at all the month after that.
All Pokemon fans can do is remain patient and know that information regarding Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be shared before the game arrives later this year. Also, Pokemon games are rarely delayed, so regardless of when more information is shared, the two games should reliably launch later this year.
