After replaying Colosseum, I can't help but feel like these games are going to be connected in some way. Obviously, the region of gen 9 will be based on Spain. The Orre region is based on Arizona. This is where the similarities come from.
>In real life, Spain colonized the American southwest, where Arizona is located
>Orre sounds suspiciously close to the Spanish word "Olé"
>Orre doesn't have gyms; it has Colosseums, which are Roman in origin. Spain is also known for having colosseums due to being owned by Rome for centuries.
>There are art style similarities between Orre's characters and gen 9's.
>James Turner masterminded the art style for the Orre games, and is now working on Scarlet and Violet. This explains the slight shift from the traditional Pokemon artstyle when it comes to the human character designs.
>"Scarlet and Violet" are also significant in Colosseum/Gale of Darkness. Shadow Pokemon are depicted with a violet aura, and gain a scarlet aura when they become enraged.
Uhh, bros? Are shadow Pokemon going to be the gimmick of Scarlet and Violet?
