In the latest trailer for PokÃ©mon Scarlet and PokÃ©mon Violet, the new rival character was revealed. Who is Nemona, the trainer who players will hope to overcome in their journey?

A new trailer was released for PokÃ©mon Scarlet and PokÃ©mon Violet on June 1. Showing off a world of PokÃ©mon that looks different from any we've seen before-- an open world, roaming PokÃ©mon, multiplayer and more-- Generation IX is sure to be an experience like no other. Excitingly, the new rival was also introduced in the recent trailer.

Who is the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Rival?

In the latest trailer for PokÃ©mon Scarlet and Violet, the players' rival was revealed to be Nemona. Described on the official website for the game as a "powerful PokÃ©mon trainer" with "a sunny and energetic disposition," she is depicted as being more experienced in the world of PokÃ©mon than the player character.

Interestingly, it does not seem like Nemona will receive one of the three starter PokÃ©mon at the beginning of the journey. The battle shown in the trailer has Nemona sending out a Pawmi, the new electric-type rodent PokÃ©mon. The website also says she will use Lechonk and Smoliv, two other new PokÃ©mon revealed n the trailer. This may change as more footage of the game is revealed in the coming months, but for now, it is worth wondering why the tradition of the rival having one of the starter PokÃ©mon has possibly been changed.
