I have a 7 year old that's starting to get into Pokemon. Are scarlet/violet worth playing yet or should I have her start with Z-A?

#AndroidDev, @androidfaithful.com at @droidcon.bsky.social NYC interview with @swank.ca is up! Hopefully not too much fan girling, but Jesse has been one of my Android heroes forever, & he has a lot to say about what I think is the spirit of the Android dev fam. 🫶 youtu.be/_6YKyjKfWh0
