Pokémon Scarlet And Violet: All Of The Version Differences And Exclusives So Far

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet have been officially announced, complete with a reveal trailer that includes a first look at the starters this time around. 

These two games represent the start of Generation 9, which will surely bring its own competitive meta, anime, and even Pokémon card series to the franchise, and we can’t wait. However, there’s still some time before we actually get to play these games, so for now, we’ll be scanning every second of the reveal trailer (and subsequent trailers) for new locales, features, and of course, Pokémon. 

As any Pokémon player knows, with each generation comes two games to choose from. The Scarlet and Violet versions are this year. Perhaps it is a nod to Red or Blue. With two different versions, there are always some differences between the games as well as Pokémon exclusive to each. Larvitar can only be found in one version of a game, even if there is another. We wouldn’t be surprised to see Larvitar in the Scarlett and Violet trailers. 

We have all the latest news and exclusives. It is hard to keep up. Here are all of the version differences and exclusive Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet – this is a living list, so be sure to check back often to find out what new things we’ve learned. 

Start Outfits

With just a reveal trailer and an official Pokémon Scarlet and Violet page from Nintendo to go on at the moment, the starting outfits are the only difference we’ve spotted thus far between the two versions. To nobody’s surprise, the starting outfit in Scarlet features, well, scarlet, and the Violet starting outfit features violet – wild, right? Below are screenshots of the different outfits.
