After promising new information earlier in the week, The Pokemon Company has released a new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailer, which could go down as one of the most bizarre Pokemon trailers ever made.
The three-minute video features Iono, the Electric-type Gym Leader of the Paldea region. Iono is an outlandish and colorful streamer/V-tuber–calling her stream the Iono Zone–with pastel-colored Magnemite hair clips in her hair, an oversized yellow jacket, and a bubbly personality.
In the video, Iono asks her Iono Zone audience to guess her partner Pokemon. While she doesn’t outright reveal her partner, she does give a few clues:
- It “feels squishy.”
- It’s not Magnemite, as she points out her hair clips.
- It’s a “li’l sluggish with an easygoin’ vibe.”
- It has “two big ol’ bumps on its noggin that people always mistake for eyes.”
- It’s Electric-type.
- Its body expands and contracts to generate electricity in its belly.
- According to Iono, it’s “SOOOOO CUTE!”
No existing Electric-type Pokemon fit this description, so this is either a brand-new Pokemon exclusive to the Paldean region or a Paldean variant of a previously-seen Pokemon.
The new video is notable in that Iono is completely voiced, which if carried over to the games would mark the first time a mainline Pokemon game would feature full voiceovers. The video also follows a 14-minute Pokemon Scarlet and Violet video released last week, which revealed the game’s Custom TM system, a new Pokemon evolution in Farigiraf, and much more.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will launch November 18 exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
