As you might have heard, there was a new Pokémon Scarlet and Violet trailer that dropped today. It included a look at three new Pokémon, some interesting new multiplayer features, and new NPCs. But most importantly, it provided the internet the opportunity to make a lot of really good memes.First off, there’s a lot of meme love for the two new professor characters, Sada and Turo, who appear respectively in Scarlet or Violet depending on which version you have. Fans really seem to like their designs…perhaps a bit too much?”OH NO THEY’RE HOT!” #PokemonScarletViolet pic.twitter.com/CUlg0kqV1B— Aiden139 (@AidenRS139) June 1, 2022 yeah game freak DEFINITELY knew what they were doing with professors sada and turo #PokemonScarletViolet pic.twitter.com/DJx6qS6WSG— m (@maxisoffline) June 1, 2022 She is violating so many lab safety rules smh #PokemonScarletViolet pic.twitter.com/t9b3GqcyQE— mossbag (@mossbag69) June 1, 2022 the super hot professor trend continues…..WE WON#PokemonScarletViolet #Pokemon pic.twitter.com/1avuwWqsd6— ❀ istanmyself ❀ (@rajawtheflatass) June 1, 2022 YOURE KIDDING ME #PokemonScarletViolet pic.twitter.com/qbssVc6Q3S— Jake Lastname (@JakeTheLastname) June 1, 2022 Aside from being thirsty, fans have made a few good goofs about other trailer elements like the new elements of the world we’ve seen, and the briefly-shown legendary mascots Koraidon and Miraidon:Hey, listen to me: THEY ARE MOTORBIKES#PokemonScarletViolet pic.twitter.com/lil1UCsWOK— Agui 💪 Ceres 3 verkami!

Aside from Lechonk, Smoliv, and Pawmi, we’ve previously seen the game’s starters – the Grass Cat Sprigatito, the Fire Croc Fuecoco, and the Water Duckling Quaxly – when Scarlet and Violet were first announced back in February.Rebekah Valentine is a news reporter for IGN.
