Pokemon Go players will soon get a chance to capture even more Pokemon in the popular mobile game, as the Pokemon Company has announced that the Gen 9 Starter Pokemon from the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be joining the game this September.
While the announcement was brief and didn’t provide many details, it’s sure to be exciting for fans who are fond of the Paldea Pokemon, and will likely be the start of a new wave of Pokemon from Gen 9 we could see coming to the game in the future.
