In Pokemon Scarlet, you will be guided by Professor Sada, the woman Pokemon Professor who wears orange-ish rough, caveman clothing under her coat and is researching the past and Ancient Paradox Pokemon. Meanwhile, the Pokemon Violet Professor is Turo, the one studying the Future Paradox Pokemon and wearing a black and purple jumpsuit. Aside from looks and slight differences in the plot, both Professor Sada and Turo practically serve the same purpose in the game.

Pokemon Scarlet players will attend the Naranja Academy and wear an orange-colored uniform. The Academy logo bears the orange fruit, and both Director Clavell as well as the enemy gang, Team Star/Star Gang, will also be draped in orange outfits. Although you cannot change the color of your clothes, nevertheless, you will still be able to dress up the main character thanks to various accessories that you can buy (from Helmets, Backpacks to Socks) and four available variants of the school uniform: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter uniforms.

Pokemon Violet Academy and Uniform Version Difference

As you can expect, in Pokemon Violet, everything will be violet instead. Called Uva Academy in this version, the school logo will be adorned with grapes as its crest. Just like with the Professors, the difference between the two versions in this regard is mostly visual and cosmetic.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are available on Nintendo Switch.
