Released on Nov. 18, “Pokémon Scarlet and Violet” introduced plenty of new generation monsters, characters and the open-world Paldea Region. The latest franchise installment also saw the return of gym battles, in which players would have to battle eight gym leaders to get their badges, much like in previous titles.

The franchise recently celebrated an epic milestone in November when anime series protagonist Ash Ketchum finally achieved his dream of becoming “the very best, like no one ever was” and was named the No. 1-ranked trainer after the show’s 25-year run.
