Nintendo fans go wild for shock announcement that fan-favourite characters return to best-selling series
The DLC will bring back the starter Pokémon from every region.

Last weekend was the Pokémon World Championships, where the best players from all over the world gathered to be the very best.

During the tournament there were a number of announcements that had fans go wild for upcoming releases.

On Pokémon Day we saw more from The Hidden Treasures of Area Zero DLC that will be bringing more Pokémon to Scarlet and Violet.

Among the new and returning Pokémon are all of the starter Pokémon from all of the previous games.

This comprises 24 Pokémon in total, each either Fire-, Water-, or Grass-type.

Some starters have already been introduced to the game via limited-time seven-star raids.

However, after the DLC is released, people will be able to catch any of the Pokémon they missed out on.

Smeargle will also be coming in the DLC, which is a Pokémon that is able to learn any move in the game.

There were a number of other announcements of things coming to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet in the near future.

There will be a number of new moves, including the new priority Electric-type move Thunderclap.

Upper Hand is a move that will take priority over other priority moves, while Psychic Noise will prevent healing.

We also saw more of two new Paradox Pokémon, Surging Bolt, and Iron Crown.

Surging Bolt is the ancient form of Raikou, and will be the Dragon-/Electric-type. This has encouraged players to believe there will be an ancient Entei with the Fire-/Dragon-type.

Iron Crown is the future Cobalion, and a Steel-/Psychic-type, leading people to expect a future Terrakion to be a Rock-/Psychic-type.

The final announcement is that there will be a new 19th Tera type, though there is no information on how this works yet.
