With the announcement video for the Scarlet and Violet DLC, what are everyone's thoughts on it?

Part 1 The Teal Mask part seems like it is going to be the more story focused of the two. I am also glad we will be able to get out of the school uniforms and into something that looks like Kimonos. Of the new legendaries, I really only like the Fezandipiti design. The other three I'm not a fan of. Ogerpon face just looks like a mask and is just covering something underneath, and what I am imagining feels like it is going to be just a funny face. The other two just feel more basic than Fezandipiti.


Part 2 The Indigo disks looks like it will be in a battle facility type of place. I don't really have much to say since Terapagos looks like the only new pokemon being introduced. I am also not a big competitive player, so the battle facility isn't really an interest of mine. If I were to make a theory, though, Terapagos looks like its tera type might change after each move it uses. Think Arceus and Sivally, but instead of a held item, it will just be like protean.

The indigo disk looks more interesting to me but I'm more of a competitive player and loved the battle frontier especially emeralds. Hopefully they bring back the entire frontier but I doubt it. I also hope they allow all the dlc pokemon to be transferable after the launch of the teal mask dlc as I don't want to wait till winter or spring to play with my favorite pokemon Metagross.
As for the teal mask tho, I hate the designs of those three monkeys they look awful to me Ogerpon looks the best.

But I don't like the Pokemon Company doing DLC it just seems very sleazy since they charge money for pokemon home (unless you have only 30 pokemon) and then the games don't even have the full pokedex in them but the pokemon company has the balls to charge dlc on top of the price for home when they can't even be bothered to add the full dex.

It looks good but I'm looking forward to seeing if it has a lot of content rather than the quality. I remember with Sword and Shield I loved all the content from Crown Tundra and put like 50 hours into that alone. If either part of the DLC is as expensive as that, I'll be happy.

Well after playing and beating the Teal mask DLC entirely, it wasn't very good I'd give it a 6/10. To me it was too short and didn't have enough content to warrant the $40 price tag. While they did add in more Pokémon it still is mind bottling to me why they just don't add in the national Dex or all the returning Pokémon for both dlcs also I disliked the fact that seeing every Pokémon no longer counts as filling in the dex you have to literally catch every Pokémon in order to get the full page entry and for it to count towards the dex completion and that sucks because while I seen every Pokémon in the region I can't get any of the dex rewards since I didn't capture them all. Now moving on from that the dlc new Pokémon are somewhat locked behind the dex progression for example if you want the blood moon ursaluna you have to capture 150 Pokémon in the dlc area before the quest line unlocks via npc oh and if you want dipplin you have to find a remote farm in the middle of nowhere thats halfway across the map from the apple field selling the syrupy apple item when you first leave the new dlc town area and honestly you'd probably never find it if you didn't look it up. The story is good but incredibly short ogerpon is the only new legendary that you catch at the end of the dlc story , the three monkeys aren't roaming legends in the dlc they are in fixed locations across the map of the dlc so explore every inch of the island. So to sum it up a 6/10 good story too short, new Pokémon/evolutions tied to exploring/dex catching completion oh and they changed what certain abilities do and what Pokémon abilities are for example mold breaker now only ignores the opposing pokemons ability not type and empoleon lost his hidden ability defiant but gained the hidden ability competitive. Hopefully I will enjoy the indigo disk more because I'm a battler at heart and I can't wait to wrap up the story of the blueberry academy, but I feel like all the stuff in the dlc shouldve just been part of the base game oh and they finally added items that reset the base points of your Pokémon so now you can easily make a completely viable competitive Pokémon without having with perfect IV and EVs.
