According to reputable leaker Khu, the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC will introduce a new character and expand the game's lore, ultimately connecting it to the next mainline installment. This leak has the potential to be significant considering that the release of the next mainline game is still some time away. Consequently, fans are eagerly waiting for Game Freak to release the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
The DLC itself is divided into two parts: The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk. However, details regarding these expansions are currently limited, and it remains uncertain if they will be released according to the proposed timeline. The first part is scheduled for a Fall 2023 release, while the second part is slated for Winter 2023. In The Teal Mask, players will embark on a school trip to Kitakami, where they will encounter new Pokemon such as Ogerpon. The Indigo Disk, on the other hand, takes players to Blueberry Academy, the sister school of the protagonist. It is highly likely that once these expansions are launched, the Pokemon franchise will continue to expand beyond Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, marking an exciting new development for the series.
Riddler Khu, known for their accurate Pokemon leaks, has shared an intriguing image teasing a connection between one of the DLC characters in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and the lore of the next game. While their information should be taken with caution, Khu's track record lends credibility. However, Khu's messages are often cryptic, and they have left fans puzzled by suggesting that the popular theory of a sequel to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet may be incorrect.
Some believe that the character in the top right, with her robotic appearance, might be the hint. Others argue that it could be one of the two characters on the bottom left, as their color scheme, hair, and clothing style seem to be related to Johto. Interestingly, Pokemon Gold and Silver will be celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2024, which might indicate the possibility of a remake or a new game connected to them. This could potentially introduce Tera forms to Johto. Fans eagerly await any hints or clues when the DLC is released.
Nintendo Switch users can now enjoy the availability of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
