Scarlet and Purple Pokémon: differences between both versions, which one should you buy?

Pokemon not only does it have a popular anime that is making waves, but through Game Freak, the franchise will take an important step in the development of the story with the launch of Pokemon Scarlet and Purple.

As expected, these are two video games for the Nintendo Switch console that will integrate ninth-generation Pokémon. Each of the versions will have different creatures that you can find in the wild.
