It's been 26 years since the first Pokemon game came out and over time from 151 pocket monsters, we now have 1,008. What an incredible number. The new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has introduced some of the most interesting Pokemons to date.

The Pokemon Company released a commemorative video, which you can see here.

In case you haven't met some of the new Pokemons from Scarlet and Violet, here they are.

Gholdengo

Gholdengo, Pokémon #1,000 in the National Pokédex Gholdengo, the Pokémon that falls at #1,000 in the National Pokédex, evolves from Chest Form Gimmighoul or Roaming Form Gimmighoul.

Throughout the game, you will encounter Gimmighoul, which will give you Gimmighoul Coins. The purpose is to collect 999 of these, which you can evolve a Gimmighoul (the one in the chest) into Gholdengo, which celebrates Pokemon number 1,000.

The Starters

Okay, one of the most anticipated things to look forward into any Pokemon generation are the starters. If you still haven't bought the game, here's who they are, as written in the Pokemon Company press release:

Floragato

Mischievous and Prone to Loneliness

Floragato is a mischievous show-off, desiring attention and company. If its Trainer won’t entertain it, Floragato may try to get attention by misbehaving—it might wrap its Trainer up with its vine during sleep, for example.

Skillfully Wields Its Vine and Strikes with Its Flower Bud

Floragato is intelligent and dexterous. The flower bud on its neck is on the tip of a long vine. Floragato specializes in attacking by deftly manipulating this vine to strike opponents with the hard flower bud on the end.

The leaf that was growing from the base of Floragato’s neck has become a cape.  

Meowscarada

Flower Bombs Catch Opponents Off Guard Like Magic

Meowscarada uses the fur lining its cape to reflect and scatter light, thus camouflaging the stem of its flower bomb and making it look like the flower bomb is floating in midair. Furthermore, Meowscarada can attach its pollen-packed flower bombs to various

surfaces and choose when to set them off. With skillful misdirection, Meowscarada rigs foes with flower bombs and sets them off before foes realize what’s going on.

Strong Attachment to Its Trainer

Meowscarada is prideful and likes to show off, but it’s also sensitive. This jealous Pokémon will often display a strong attachment to its Trainer, and its mood will sour if it sees another Pokémon getting its attention.

Crocalor

It Can Control the Egg-Shaped Fireball on Its Head

This Pokémon’s fire energy and overflowing vitality have mixed together into an egg-shaped fireball that Crocalor can maintain atop its head. In battle, Crocalor can send out the egg-shaped fireball as part of a move.

It Projects a Destructive Voice with Its Flames

The valve in this Pokémon’s flame sac is closely related to its vocal cords, and Crocalor tends to let its voice out when it breathes fire. It cannot be said that this voice is beautiful. When Crocalor tries to breathe more-powerful fire, its voice becomes more destructive, which may cause some opponents to take damage.

Skeledirge

Its Powerful Voice Soothes All Who Hear

Skeledirge is a busybody with a caring personality. Its gentle but powerful singing voice is filled with vitality, and it soothes the hearts of all who hear it. Foes that hear Skeledirge sing are left with feelings of warmth and fulfillment, thus losing their will to battle.

An Independent Fireball Spirit

Skeledirge gained its Ghost-type powers due to the influence of the soul inhabiting its fireball. The soul in the fireball is independent, and it can change its form via the power of Skeledirge’s singing voice.

Quaxwell

Serious and Stoic

Quaxwell has a serious and stoic disposition, and a tendency to compete with others to see whose kicks are the most graceful. It makes sure to consistently practice the fundamentals of its training wherever and whenever it can, and it observes Pokémon and people from various regions to incorporate their movements into its own dance routines.

Messy Hair Makes for a Weakened Mind and Body

The hair on Quaxwell’s head has impact-absorbing properties, so whenever an attack is incoming, Quaxwell holds a low posture and takes the blow with its head. It feels mentally and physically unwell if its hair gets messed up, so it uses gel to fix its hair immediately after getting attacked.

Quaquaval

It Slashes at Opponents with Its Decorative Water Feathers

The strength of Quaquaval’s well-trained legs is incredible. With a light kick, this Pokémon can flip a truck. During a battle, large decorative water feathers spray like a fountain from organs at the tips of its tail feathers, and it swings these water feathers around to slash through opponents like a water-jet cutter.

Cheerful and Always Breaking Out into Dance…But It Still Has Its Stoicism

Quaquaval is cheerful and energetic, and no matter the situation, it will shake its entire body in dances that evoke far-off places. On the other hand, it is very serious about consistently polishing its skills, and during critical moments, it shows a level of concentration that would amaze onlookers.
