Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: new information could arrive next week
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
The Pokémon Company could reveal new information on Pokémon Violet and Scarlet and the ninth generation monsters next week, according to what is suggested by the schedule of the Japanese TV show PokéDoko 4.The TV Tokyo TV site reports that the next appointment of the program, set for Sunday, April 24, will share "the latest information on Pokémon games". However it must be said that the proclamation is quite vague and therefore it is not clear if the details to be discussed will be completely unpublished or if they will be closely related to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Pocketmonsters.net points out that for years now similar TV shows have not shared unpublished information, with The Pokèmon Company which over time has preferred to spread its ads via social media, press releases and so on.
More likely, however, that the episode of PokéDoko 4 will summarize possible new official information on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet arriving in the course of the next week before the airing of the show. After all, the two ninth generation games were announced almost two months ago, so the time may be ripe for new details, images or trailers from The Pokémon Company.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will be available exclusively for Nintendo Switch by the end of 2022. According to information shared by Nintendo last month, the two games will be open world and will not have uploads between cities and wild areas.

Pokemon Teases New Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Information Coming This Week
The Pokemon Company could be releasing some new information about their next games this week. A description for next week's PokeDoko 4 notes that the show's host will feature the 'latest information on the Pokemon games.' While this could simply be a recap of previous Pokemon Scarlet and Violet news, it could also be a recap of new information released earlier in the week. While The Pokemon Company doesn't typically reveal news on their variety shows (which have run for years on Japanese TV), they do often talk about recently announced news from previous weeks.
It's been nearly two months since The Pokemon Company released any kind of information about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the brand new Pokemon games for the Nintendo Switch. We only know a few details about the new games – the games will be set in a new region inspired by the Iberian Peninsula, will be an 'open world' game in which players can seamlessly encounter Pokemon in towns and in the wild, and will bring back several traditional Pokemon game mechanics missing from Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The new pair of Pokemon games will be released in late 2022.
We'll note that April is a bit early in the traditional Pokemon marketing cycle for new Pokemon game news. The Pokemon Company typically ramps up its game reveals in June, with regular news drops leading to the game's releases late in the year.
Of course, it's also possible that the Pokemon game news could be related to another Pokemon game. Players have theorized that Pokemon Legends: Arceus will get some sort of significant downloadable content. Additionally, both Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl currently do not have Pokemon Home support. It's possible that this latest information could be connected to a current Pokemon game instead of an upcoming one.
