Pokemon Scarlet and Violet welcomes back all past starters in its DLC

If you were missing your favourite starter in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you'll be happy to hear they'll finally be available when the games' DLC drops. Since Pokemon made the jump to Nintendo Switch, whenever a new generation of games are released, not every Pokemon is immediately accessible. In fact, each generation definitely won't have every single Pokemon ever released, something that was no different in Scarlet and Violet. We do know that 230 more Pokemon are being added through the DLC, and now as revealed at the 2023 Pokemon World Championships, it's been revealed that all of the original starters are coming back in the DLC too. That includes classic critters like Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle, as well as later gen mons like Fenekin, and Rowlet. Don't worry too much if you aren't planning on getting the DLC but still want to use your favourite starters in the base game. Sword and Shield let you move all the Pokemon added with its DLC through Pokemon Home to your game, which will likely be the case for Scarlet and Violet too. Read more
