Overview

[UK] The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero ✨| Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet

In this adventure, you'll be transferred from Naranja Academy to its sister school, Blueberry Academy. Unlike Naranja Academy, with its long and rich history, this school was only recently established and has a focus on teaching Pokémon battles. What's unique about Blueberry Academy is that a large part of it is actually in the sea! Attend lessons, mingle with the local students and experience a new school life that's anything but ordinary. - You need to have completed the ending of Pokémon Scarlet and Part 1: The Teal Mask to access the main story of Part 2: The Indigo Disk.

Reception

If you've come this far, you may as well continue through The Indigo Disk; just don't expect it to significantly elevate the gen nine experience.

Although Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is a technical disaster, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero expands the main adventure (and its mythology) with interesting content, offering challenges and characters old and new. If you enjoyed the original game I would also recommend the DLC, however I hope Game Freak will try harder in the future.

Generation 9 of Pokémon has probably been the most rocky of the Nintendo Switch era. With its first true open world brought an abundance of performance issues and glitches that made for funny yet frustrating times for fans. However, a year later and two story content drops, Scarlet/Violet still keeps the Pokémon world alive with mystery and of course,...

For better and worse, Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indego Disk is more Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet. Your enjoyment of it will largely depend on how much jank you can still tolerate, but this DLC does some interesting things to spice up the game. Trainers will actually put up a fight, there are cool...

At first, the DLC felt like it was too little, but as we got to experience the story in The Indigo Disk, it felt more flushed out and worth the price. If you are a fan of Pokemon games, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC is worth picking up. The blend of different generations of Pokemon makes the game feel fresh and changes the game’s battle system...
