Between the new Legendary Pokémon, the three starter Pokémon and three new Pokémon, the very recent trailer for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple offered us a lot of information on our new companions. Eight names can be drawn from all this excitement to form the first Generation 9 Pokédex. A pokédex that will undoubtedly have to be completed for Olim and Turum, your two new teachers, to discover just below. For now, we’re focusing on the new Pokémon in the Pokédex:

He is 1.6m tall and weighs 63kg. It falls under the Pokémon Mount category. He may possess the Molt talent. It is described as follows: “This Pokémon has been present in the homes of Paldea since ancient times. It is of a mild temperament and it is not uncommon to see it carrying human beings on its back. It does not seem disturb it at all, because the body heat of the people it carries protects it from the cold. It can run at 120 km/h with a human being on its back. Its extremely robust head and flexible tail are not only used for keep balance and absorb shock while running, they also allow him to attack skillfully in combat.”
For the first time in the history of Pokémon games, your protagonists will be able to meet two different teachers depending on your version of the game. Turum is the teacher of the Violet version while Olim is the teacher of the Scarlet version. Of course, apart from a few lines of dialogue, they shouldn’t offer very different content from one version to another. A question of taste, as often for the choice between the two versions.
If the release of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet is a small event for the community of Pokémon players, it is also an important moment for the world of video games.
