The release windows for the next games may have just been revealed and fans may need to wait longer than expected for them to drop. Announced in early 2024, the forthcoming is one of the series' most anticipated releases while the Generation 10 games, which haven't been formally unveiled, is already generating plenty of hype and speculation. While these tentpole installments are no doubt the biggest titles fans are anticipating, it seems that 2024 may be a significantly slower year for The Pokémon Compant as it prioritizes a smaller but still exciting game.
New Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Event is Huge for Shiny Hunters
29.04.2024 - 18:27 / gamerant.com / Dalton Cooper / Nintendo
A new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet mass outbreak event makes it easier to catch shiny versions of specific Pokemon. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet mass outbreaks are when a large number of the same Pokemon all spawn in the same area. The increased spawn rate typically means that mass outbreaks make it slightly easier for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players to catch shiny variants of Pokemon.
While the games had a rough launch, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have dedicated fans who continue to play the open world games to this day. Those that have already conquered the base games' story and the new content added in the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC expansions have started tackling some of the games' more daunting challenges, like completing their Pokedex or catching as many shiny Pokemon as possible.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players who still have some shiny Pokemon to catch should be sure to boot up their games at some point between now and May 6 at 4:59pm PT. During this time, mass outbreaks of Magikarp and Varoom are happening in the Paldea region, while mass outbreaks of Shinx are popping up in the Kitakami DLC area. And finally, mass outbreaks of Rellor are happening in the Terarium at Blueberry Academy. While Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players are not guaranteed shiny encounters during these mass outbreaks, their odds of finding shiny variants of these Pokemon are definitely increased.
For Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players to get the most out of these mass outbreaks, they need to purchase the DLC. The Teal Mask gives Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players access to Kitakami, while The Indigo Diskopens the door to the Blueberry Academy. Both expansions also give players access to some brand-new Pokemon, locations to explore, and story events to experience, so they're well worth it for fans of the base games.
New mass outbreaks and Tera Raid rotations will help keep Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players engaged with the games for now, but some may be anxious for Pokemon's future. The next Pokemon game is Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which has been announced for a 2025 release on the Nintendo Switch. Game Freak has most likely started work on the Generation 10 Pokemon games as well, but they have yet to be announced.
Pokemon Scarlet & Pokemon Violet are the main entries in the series for Generation IX. They introduced over 100 new Pokemon and brought players to the Paldea region.

Pokemon Fan Successfully Gets 1997 Mew All the Way to Scarlet and Violet
A Pokemon player has successfully managed to transfer the rare Mew from Space World 1997 into the modern-day Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games. The Pokemonuniverse contains many rare and legendary creatures, and the powerful Psychic feline Mew may very well be one of the most elusive of all. Despite playing a major role in the lore of the original Pokemon Red and Blue games, Mew could not be encountered or captured in the base game without glitches or datamining. This would be the case for every mainline Pokemon game until Generation 4’s Diamond and Pearl, which allowed players to import it from the Wii My Pokemon Ranch spin-off.
