Will You Be Playing Pokemon Scarlet Or Pokemon Violet?

As usual, both games will have different legendary Pokemon. If you want to have both of them, you’ll have to trade between both games, though you could always pick one or the other. Even with two copies, you’d still need a secondary Switch for trading unless you use Nintendo’s Pokemon Box service.

The ‘dual versions’ strategy has been used by the Pokemon series since its inception, with the first game in 1998 receiving two different color-coded versions, just like we see today.

Some long-time fans have accused Nintendo of using the tactic to make even more money from players, while some have questioned why Nintendo appears to be getting away with it.
