This was the same when recently Pokemon’s official Twitter handle shared a few mysterious images from the upcoming title and made fans wildly speculate on what the images can hint on. From a real-life forest to a new and unique shiny Pokemon, fans are running their imaginations wild.
Mysterious images hint towards what?
Recently, Pokemon’s official Twitter handle tweeted images of colorful rings and patterns that resembled some sort of insect or animal patterns painted on trees of the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games. This was especially mysterious because of the caption that was typed along with them.
The official tweet said, “Hey Trainers! We’ve managed to obtain these photos of some strange markings taken by a photographer from Paldea. They seem to be getting a lot of attention from the region’s citizens… Any guesses what they could mean?”

After this fans started flooding the comments with all the brainstorming and theories that they can come up with. But the most popular one that came near to the imagery was from a real-life forest.

Oma Forest in Basque country also has the same kind of paintings and marking all over the forest. Thus, many thought it was inspired by the same forest, but couldn’t find any particular reason for the same.

So will a new Pokemon finally arrive along with the game?
The second most popular theory that fans had was the arrival of a new shiny Rainbow Pokemon. While some thought it could be a totally new Pokemon specific to the game, others speculated it to be a Smeargle.

Another thing that fans noticed was from one of the previous trailers. In that, a trainer can be seen wearing a face mask and having paint on her fingers and clothes. This made many fans think that she might be a major character in the game and might also train the special Pokemon.
in a previous trailer, a trainer type was revealed that wears a gas mask and holds spray paint. combining this info with khu’s hint, the “aiai” may spray some substance to attack, like spray paint. it seems likely that this trainer used the aiai pokemon as well. pic.twitter.com/AzfKP8PFJE
