There’s no question that Pokémon Scarlet & Violet will be massive, even if we still don’t know much about it. Thankfully, that’ll likely change before next week.
During the 2022 Pokémon World Championship opening ceremony, it was announced that more Pokémon Scarlet & Violet information is coming on Sunday, Aug. 21, 2022, during closing ceremonies (Thanks, IGN). The show begins at around 8:00 A.M. PDT // 11:00 A.M. EDT // 3:00 P.M GMT.
“We also have news for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and the future of the Pokémon Trading Card Game,” Tsunekazu Ishihara, president of The Pokémon Company, said during the opening ceremonies. “But I’d like to share those updates with you during our closing ceremony, so I ask that you wait just a little bit longer.”
The crowd wasn’t happy that fresh news didn’t drop straight away, but at least those details are not far off. The Pokémon Company didn’t specify exactly what to expect either.

Thus far, we know some of the Paldea Region’s all-new Pokémon. The hefty pig that is Lechonk quickly became a fan favorite, but we’ll see if that enthusiasm sticks around for launch. After all, something even more adorable could show up over the weekend.
