Ever since the second trailer dropped for Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet <\/em>and Violet <\/em>back in June, players had a strong suspicion that the games would feature some elements of time travel with how certain Pok\u00e9mon and characters were being portrayed. <\/p>
This developed into a working theory that Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet <\/em>would have more elements from the past, while Pok\u00e9mon Violet <\/em>takes more from the future. And, thanks to some recent leaks that seem at least mostly accurate, those early guesses seem to be partially true. <\/p>
Along with several rumored new Pok\u00e9mon, evolutions, regional forms, and more, a leaker who has been reputable since around the launch of Sun <\/em>and Moon <\/em>has seemingly confirmed that time travel plays a role in the game\u2014but not for the player themselves. <\/p>
According to several posts<\/a>, brought over from Chinese forums, the time travel elements will only impact Pok\u00e9mon, not the player. This likely means that Pok\u00e9mon from different time periods will be appearing, perhaps including Hisuian Pok\u00e9mon that don\u2019t exist in modern times.\u00a0<\/p>
