    We loved The Indigo Disk. This expansion serves as a great finale to the story of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, introducing charismatic characters, a good number of new Pokémon to complete our Pokédex and mechanics such as Synchronization or flying with Koraidon or Miraidon that we really liked. In addition, thanks to its higher difficulty and its great final arc, it has kept us hooked from start to finish.

    While I had a good time with The Teal Mask, The Indigo Disk was a marked improvement. You’ve got more Pokemon to catch, tougher battles to win, and more to do. On top of that, the story told in the two releases wraps up in a satisfying, well-crafted way. I still wish the clothing options were more robust, to be sure. And the game still doesn’t always run great. But it got me playing Pokemon Violet again, and I’m going to keep doing so. There’s more Legendaries to scoop up, after all. If you’re looking for more from the latest Pokemon game, the Area Zero DLC has some serious bang for your buck.

    The hidden treasure of Area Zero - Part II: The Indigo Disk is a conclusion to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet that leaves a good taste in your mouth. Good story, large territory and a new Pokédex with old-but-gold Pokémon. Do not expect any kind of improvement in the graphics section, though.

    Graphically, it's still a poor experience, with a very weird design and bad technical aspects. But the overall experience was nice - the upgraded difficulty was a welcome change, and I had a ton of fun watching my favorite Pokémon come back.

    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.

    The Indigo Disk carries on the Pokémon narrative we have come to know, with its positive and negative aspects. The amount of technical bugs is no more surprising than the choice to reintroduce sufficiently difficult and satisfying adversaries. Unfortunately, it is the story that does not hold up and loses bite, resulting in a less epic finale than expected.

    The Indigo Disk takes a few steps forward for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. There’s some genuine challenge, a nice variety of activities, and a fun new world to explore in the Terarium; if you love Pokémon, you’ll absolutely enjoy what’s on offer here. But the DLC drops the ball in terms of narrative, offering an unsatisfying and rushed conclusion to Scarlet & Violet’s story, along with the grindy BP system and those ever-present performance issues. It’s fun at best and disappointing at worst, with a lot of missed potential left on the picnic table.
