Forget everything you know. Well, maybe not everything, but it is time for all of the hints and riddles that have been piling up over the last year to finally be answered as Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet <\/em>and Violet <\/em>have started to leak online. <\/p>
Just like with most Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>games over the last decade, the leaks always start with a few players getting early copies of the games before a credible leaker or datamining community gains access. <\/p>
This leads to the full game being dumped online, including assets and content that might not even be in the base game. <\/p>
This is actually a huge deal for multiple reasons, including this is Game Freak\u2019s first real attempt at an open-world game for the Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>franchise after slowly building up to this moment with Sword <\/em>and Shield<\/em>\u2014plus Legends: Arceus<\/em>. <\/p>
From free roaming with multiple players in the same online instance to picking your preferred way to tackle the game and much more, this is going to be a first in multiple ways. <\/p>
As a result, players who want to avoid leaks should start blocking terms or avoiding social media ASAP because this information could impact how your journey through the Paldea region goes when Scarlet <\/em>and Violet <\/em>officially launch on Nov. 18. <\/p>
However, for those who want to see the new information early, here is a detailed breakdown and timeline for the SV<\/em> leak season, though images are not included and nothing should be taken as fact until the games are actually released. <\/p>
