During the latest Pokemon Direct Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was revealed. There’s a lot of talk surrounding the environment and location this game takes place in. Every Pokemon region is based on or comparable to a real world location. For example, Galar is based on the United Kingdom and several other Pokemon games can be connected to other countries and parts of the world. There have been many theories and hints from Sword and Shield to Legends Arceus about where the next Pokemon game will be located. So, where will Pokemon Scarlet and Violet take place?
Where Will Gen 9 Take Place?
Many people thought the 9th generation Pokemon game will take place in India because of several in game hints. But after seeing the trailer, It’s pretty evident at this point that Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s region will be based off Spain. Based on the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet trailer we saw from the Pokemon Direct, we have several clues to go off from now. A major clue is the names of the new Starter Pokemon, Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly. While Quaxly is just a cute name for a duck, the other two names are similar to Spanish words. Gatito meaning little cat and Fuego meaning fire in Spanish. That’s not all though, the architecture and decor we see in the Pokemon Day trailer is similar to what you would find in Spain. And in the background of the trailer, if you look closely, you can see a map of Spain on the wall.
