Generation IX Pokémon games include Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet and their downloadable content expansion packs The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk.
The most popular ship this generation is Juliana/Arven (HerbaMysticaShipping). Other popular ships include Brassius/Hassel (EphemeralArtShipping), Florian/Nemona (ChampionRankShipping) and Juliana/Nemona (AcademyAceShipping).
Other popular pairings, as seen on Archive of Our Own, are Juliana&Arven, Professor Turo/Professor Sada (LakehouseShipping), Larry/Brassius/Hassel and Nemona&Arven[1]. Other characters of note include Team Star Leader Penny, the Elite Four's Rika, and Director Clavell, who has an alter-ego named Clive.
Arven and Larry are both popular for self-shipping. Familial works involving Arven with Turo and/or Sada and/or AI versions of either of them, (long story,) are also common, as Arven is their son. Works that emphasize Arven's bond with his Mabostiff is also common.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet were ranked 28th in Tumblr Fandometrics' Year in Review 2022 for most reblogged Video Game fandom that year.
