Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s upcomingIndigo Diskexpansion will feature every starter Pokémon from the series' previous titles.

During the Pokémon World Championships, Game Freak shared a brand-newtrailershowing the second part of its Hidden Treasure of Area Zero expansion, revealing that all 24 previous starter Pokémon will return.

It looks like players will be able to search and capture these Pokémon in the wilds, as the trailer reads, “Past first partner Pokémon are appearing in spades.” Players who have been wishing to play with their favorite starters will once again have the chance (viaEurogamer).

There are plenty of Pokémon to account for, with some notable ones appearing in the trailer being Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Rowlet, Scorbunny, Mudkip, and more. The trailer also shows some gameplay of the player running around catching Pokémon, with one instance showing shiny Terastallized versions of Venusaur, as well as Primarina and Blaziken.

There’s even a small battle sequence to see those versions in action, and the PokémonTwitteraccount went further by confirming Mythical Shaymin in a screenshot.

The addition of every starter Pokémon toScarlet and Violetmakes it the first time players can catch them in the wild, as opposed to obtaining them through Tera Raids, breeding, or trading. However, those who ownScarlet and Violetwill still need to buy the DLC to catch them.

There’s no official release date forIndigo Diskjust yet, but the first half of the expansion -The Teal Mask- will launch on September 13 forNintendo Switch.
