Proper now, the precise listing of Pokémon set to look in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet continues to be up in flux. The Pokémon consultants at Serebii report that Pokémon Residence, Nintendo’s cross-game Pokémon storage service, can solely facilitate transfers to and from Scarlet and Violet for Pokémon which can be already obtainable within the recreation. The implication there’s that Pokémon Scarlet and Violet might not let you seize each single Pokémon from each single technology.
G/O Media might get a fee
If Pokémon Scarlet and Violet certainly restrict which Pokémon from prior video games you’ll be able to import, it is likely to be be harking back to the cacophonous “Dexit” controversy that marred the earlier mainline entries, Pokémon Sword and Protect–no less than for some followers. These video games, which got here out in 2019, didn’t embody each prior Pokémon from each prior technology, that means some trainers who’ve caught with the collection for each iteration needed to depart behind groups they’ve curated for years (or many years, in some circumstances).
