Red, Blue, Black, White, Scarlet, Violet – Pokemon games have been using colors as their titles since the very beginning of the franchise, long before Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were dropped into the hands of Nintendo Switch owners this time last year. The question of why colors, of all things, traditionally play such a major part in the naming convention of the core-series games is one that has racked the minds of Pokemon fans for nearly three decades now, and remains a common query among fresh-faced players to this day. With the second half of Scarlet and Violet‘s Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, The Indigo Disk, just a few weeks away, it seems like as good a time as ever to dive into the details and discuss why teal and indigo are the colors of choice for the Gen 9 expansions.
