Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are mainline Pokémon roleplaying games developed by GameFreak for the Nintendo Switch. Kicking of generation 9 in fall 2022, these games featured a full open world, new for the series.

Tropes used in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet include:

Adults Are Useless: Played with. Some of the adult characters are actively in investigating bulling, though their effectiveness is dubious. Others are actively involved in covering up said bullying, or actively recruit students to do dangerous tasks they can’t or won’t do themselves.
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Averted and played straight, depending on the specific AI. The artificial professor is actually more ethical then the real deal it is modeled after and is unwilling to subject the region to catastrophe to see their dreams become real. The security AI is far less benevolent.
Beef Gate: Happens if the player continues on to a late game area.
Bittersweet Ending: For Arven’s family. Arven looses at least one of his parents. One of Arven’s parents is dead, and their magnum opus, a Time Machine, ended up being destroyed due to the catastrophic effects on the environment it would cause. Arvin does briefly meet a facsimile of their parent, who is removed from his life shortly after meeting. That said, he did get a chance to meet a close approximation of his parent, and he was able to save Mabosstiff.
A boy and his mabosstiff: {{Spoiler|Arven and his mabossfiff]]
Bribing Your Way to Victory: For competitive play, A number of powerful Pokémon are only catchable in the DLC. The main story is easily beatable in the base game, though the EXP charm obtained in the Kitikami DLC significantly increases the EXP earned by the party
Delinquents: Team Star
Disappeared Dad: Arven has a disappeared dad in violet, and a disappeared mom in scarlet. Not that the other parent ever shows up in game either.
Forbidden Zone: Area Zero is normally off limits.
Heroic Sacrifice: The Professor protecting the box legendary, albeit not without causing the situation in the first place.
Hollywood Hacking: Cassiopeia hacks the Rotom phone of the player… to call them. Later used to provide the player character with reward money.
Level Scaling: Averted. While players can challenge gyms in any order, the levels encountered do not scale.
Names to Run Away From Really Fast: The ruinous treasures.
Paper-Thin Disguise: Director Clavell when disguised as Clive.
Salaryman: Larry is a salaryman who works multiple jobs, is overworked, and dresses the part.
Sealed Evil in a Can: The ruinous treasures. The stories don’t stop the history teacher from prodding their student, the player, to break their seals and release them.
Zombie Apocalypse: A peculiar one can occur in the post game.
