More Pokemon Scarlet and Violet news could be on the way sooner than we think as Nintendo opens a game-specific mailing list.
As spotted by Destructoid, Nintendo has launched a new website specifically for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

That means promotion and pre-orders could start being rolled-out as soon as this summer. Of course, this is just a hopeful guess on our part but who can blame us when Nintendo has already described the game as a "new evolutionary step" in the Pokemon series?
If you’re wondering what else is known about the gen 9 Pokemon game, let us catch you up. Originally announced during the Pokemon Presents in February of this year, so far we’ve been introduced to our three new starters grass-type Sprigatito, fire-type Fuecoco, and water-type Quaxly. We also got our first look at where this Pokemon adventure will be taking place with many fans theorising that we’ll be heading to Spain in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
