By accident, Pokémon would have revealed that it will solve a big problem of Scarlet & Violet

Since Pokemon Sword & Shieldthe franchise Pokemon It has been left to duty in a very important section. It turns out that for different reasons, Game Freak decided to stop including all Pokémon in the new installments, instead giving a limited and incomplete Pokédex. This was repeated in Scarlet & Violetbut it could improve soon.

What happens is that, by accident, The Pokémon Company leaked that Pokémon Scarlet & Violet they could receive an expanded Pokédex. This happened at the San Diego Regional Championship, one of the first competitive events in Pokemon of the year.

But what happened? It turns out that fans noticed a manual sprite selector that was showing Pokémon that are not currently in Scarlet & Violet. This seems to confirm that Game Freak has worked on bringing more creatures to the game.

Of course, it should be noted that this is a situation that has precedents.
