The new design of the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet trainers alarmed fans

This new Pokemon a gamewhich means that in addition to new starters. Whenever a new record is announced, there is always a split between those who find it great and those who find it lacking. But with Gen. 9, it seems that there are still those who are definitely not blown away.
