Today, I’m gonna talk about all the returning Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet. Man, I was so pumped when I heard about this!
First off, I started digging around to see what info was already out there. There were whispers about a bunch of Pokemon making a comeback. I mean, Scarlet and Violet brought in a whole new crew with the Paldea Dex, but a lot of our old buddies were missing. Even if we had ’em chillin’ in Pokemon Home, they couldn’t join the party in the new games. So, naturally, I was curious to see who was making a return.

I scoured the internet, hitting up all the usual Pokemon forums and news sites. There wasn’t a full official list from Nintendo, but there were plenty of rumors and leaks. People were saying over 230 Pokemon would be added! That’s a huge number. I started jotting down names, trying to keep track of all the returning ‘mons.
The more I researched, the more excited I got. It wasn’t just about the numbers, it was about the specific Pokemon that were supposedly coming back. I started thinking about all the different team combinations I could make. It’s like, imagine having your old favorites battling alongside the new Paldea Pokemon. Pretty sweet, right?
My Findings
- Compiling the List: I spent hours compiling a list from all the different sources. It was a bit of a mess, honestly, with some names popping up more than others.
- Cross-Referencing: I tried my best to cross-reference everything, making sure the info was as accurate as possible. Some sources were more reliable than others, so it took some detective work.
- Building My Dream Team: Once I had a মোটামুটি solid list, I started dreaming up my ultimate team. I was like, “Okay, if this Pokemon’s back, and this one, I can totally build a team around them.”
Now, I’m not gonna list out every single Pokemon here. It’s a long list, and honestly, I’m still not 100% sure about all of them. But the point is, there are a ton of returning Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet, based on what I’ve found. It’s gonna be awesome to see these familiar faces in the new games. I can’t wait to start building my party and see what kind of strategies I can come up with.
So yeah, that’s my take on the whole returning Pokemon situation. It’s gonna be a wild ride, and I’m here for it. Let me know in the comments which returning Pokemon you’re most excited about!
