Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Penny Has a Lot in Common with a Sword and Shield Character

When Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trainers enroll at the prestigious Naranja or Uva Academy, they’ll meet Penny, a seemingly familiar character for those well-versed in previous Pokemon installments. This character is a shy STEM student with a knack for computers and machinery but doesn’t attend classes often. The reason for this is revealed when the player helps her deal with some aggressive Team Star Grunts.
