The Pokémon Scarlet and Violet anime's first trailer was uploaded earlier today and dropped crucial information on dates for interested watchers to pay attention to.

The short trailer gave information on the new protagonists for Pokémon anime fans to keep up with for the future of this series, as well as a set date for only the Japan release of the anime, not the dubbed one.

Roy, Liko and Friede will be journeying through the Paldea region joined by several new and old Pokémon, as shown through Liko and Sprigatito, the Grass-type starter Pokémon of this region, Roy and Fuecoco, the Fire-type start Pokémon, and finally, Friede with an ever-iconic Pikachu.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Anime Release Date

The Pokémon Scarlet and Violet anime will be broadcasting its premiere in Japan on Apr. 14, with an hourlong special to show off the beginning of our new protagonists incredible journey.

Liko, Roy and Friede's experiences in Paldea can shed some more light on some of the story opportunities not entirely elaborated on in the play through of the game. This is incredibly common of the Pokémon anime, so it is expected to carry on this trend with the upcoming Pokémon Scarlet and Violet anime.

As for when the dubbed anime will be seeing its release, there isn't much information to go off, but we can assume it will be a bit later this year, and hopefully, not too long after the Japanese debut.

Future trailers for the anime can be found on the Pokémon Company's official Youtube channel, which can be accessed here.
