   Personally I adore all pokemon games and more of it is just perfect for me and the new wild area/entire new area is large expansive and feelsPersonally I adore all pokemon games and more of it is just perfect for me and the new wild area/entire new area is large expansive and feels lived in unlike the base one wich felt more barron
   Over all perfect for anyone who slightly enjoyed the base game. The story could have been longer but its aboit 2 and a half hours a quarter of the base game so with the other part it will be enough and more for me… Expand

   Pro:
   +Much more complex and more variety than the wild area
   +Some of the areas like the swamp or the forest look much better than we knowPro:
   +Much more complex and more variety than the wild area
   +Some of the areas like the swamp or the forest look much better than we know from the wild area, it's still not switch standard but still
   
   Con:
   -No new pokemon or galarean form beside the ones we already knew about (Kubfu, Urshifu, Slowpoke, Slowbro), atleast i didn't enounter one in the 10h i already played
   -Not much trainer battles and most of them are very easy (exept the last one)
   
   Neutral:
   ~Pokemon follow you which is really nice BUT only on the isle of armor and because of the postition of the camera and the fact that most pokemon are slower than the player u don't see them most of the time because they are too much behind
   
   Overall about what I expected,, it's really ok, especially considering that was only the first DLC, really looking forward to the next one… Expand

   And that's just a short review, not all parts of the game, and it's just a summary.
   The graphics, gameplay, and storyline aren't as compelling as they should be.
   This is an unresolved issue and unfortunately this game does not have anything attractive.… Expand

   Here are the reasons why you would want this DLC:
   
   -The new legendary -Pokemons to catch from the island And then the QoLs/"""P2W"""Here are the reasons why you would want this DLC:
   
   -The new legendary
   -Pokemons to catch from the island
   
   And then the QoLs/"""P2W""" elements:
   -Gigamax Soup that gives Gigamax gene so your Shiny Charizard can now gigamax instead of just Dynamaxing.
   -Cram-o-Matic, some recipes are crazy good, 4 candy into a talent pill!
   -The island currency that allows you to access some features such as resetting EVs or teach the new abilities.
   -EVs Drinks at a reduced cost.
   
   Gameplay wise, you have a weak story and "Mastery challenges", a series of battle that forces you to use a certain type. You also have a quest to find 150 Diglett that was the best experience of all the DLC.
   
   The story is:
   -Battle 2 trainers.
   -Battle 3 pokemon.
   -Go find Mushrooms.
   -Another Trainer battle.
   -Get the Legendary and max out his happiness.
   -5 Trainer Battle.
   -Find a Pokemon.
   -Find another Pokemon.
   -Find a third Pokemon.
   -One Last battle to conclude the DLC.
   Fin.
   
   All of this in less than 2h and the content isn't even level scaled.
   I know a fellow pokemon fan that usually take AGES to finish a game, he finished it in 6 hours while taking his time.
   
   But what about the new island? It's big and diverse. You have a desert, forest, beach and even a neat sea to explore. The textures are still ugly as hell but it isn't as empty as the main game's Wild Area.
   
   There is actually a bug that prevents Pokemons to be registered in the Pokedex if they come from Pokemon Home. Without this bug I would have completed 100% of the DLC, with of course no guide on how to find the Diglett.
   
   It's more of a "Pay For Quality of life" type of DLC, like a premium pass that increases your inventory size or ease the access to some elements. You don't pay the DLC for the gameplay or extra challenges. You pay it to complete/fix Sw&Sh features. And they charge you 15$ for it.
   
   That's a 2 for me, a DLC should bring new ways to enjoy the game. Correction, fix and quality of life should be free update.
   Do you remember that Breath of the Wild DLC Pass was 20$ and added much more ?… Expand

   A bad expansion for a very bad title. Lazy map design with lazy artistic view
