Taking place in the Paldea region, players will set out on a new adventure with one of three new starter Pokémon: the grass-type cat Sprigatito, the fire-type crocodile Fuecoco, and my personal favourite, the water-type Quaxly. He has hair shaped like a captain's hat and everything. 

The standard RRP for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is £49.99 so this is a decent £10 saving that's well worth considering. After all, Nintendo games often go up in price over time rather than down. 

Pokémon Scarlet (Nintendo Switch): was £49.99, now £39.99 (with code 'STARTER20' at checkout)
Pick up Pokémon Scarlet to get access to the legendary Pokémon Koraidon, which will serve as the main mode of transportation in the game, This covers everything from land, air and sea.

Why get Pokémon Scarlet and Violet today

While The Pokémon Company might certainly have its issues, I haven't been as excited for a new Pokémon like this in a long time. A big part of this is all down to the major changes spurred on by Pokémon Legends: Arceus and how its open-world formula is being adapted to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. 

Not only this but Pokémon trainers will be able to take part in four-player cooperative play and journey through three different stories, including the familiar Pokémon Gym battles that have been a staple of the series for over 25 years. It's an exciting evolution that is long overdue. I can't wait to dive into the game over the Christmas period.
