Trivia

  • The titles of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are similar to several Japanese trademarks registered by Nintendo, Creatures, and Game Freak in 2008 and 2009.[3] The Chinese titles use the same characters as two of the trademarks.[citation needed]
  • These are the first paired core series games in which the player characters' initial appearance differs depending on the version.
    • In addition, these are the first core series games in which the player characters wear the same outfit regardless of gender.
  • These are the first core series games since Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 to be named after colors (ignoring remakes if Diamond and Pearl count as colors) (such as hex triplet #b9f2ff sometimes referred to as "diamond" even though diamonds vary in color, and hex triplet #eae0c8 "pearl").
