Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - The Indigo Disk DLC Review - Is It Worth It? 

This game is like when McDolanlds serves you a disgusting looking Big Mac but you eat it anyway because your standards were already so low as to go to McDonalds, and it tastes… good? Somehow? Like, yeah, you’re eating a Big Mac and that’s disgusting, and it LOOKED disgusting, no wonder other people refused to eat it. But in a strange way, I’m glad my standards were lower, because it tastes really good!

The worst part: fans have told Gamefreak with their wallets that putting out buggy, unfinished Pokemon games is perfectly fine. Now the next gen games will be just as bad or worse.

I just fired up shield and it’s crazy how much better that one looks and runs than scarlet and violet.

...Remember when they said they were TOTALLY going to fix the performance issues in this game because they take our feedback "very seriously" or whatever? lol

I think this is gonna be the last Pokémon game I buy. I still love Pokémon in general. But I’m extremely on the fence of any future games by gamefreak. Unless there’s an insane quality improvement in gen 10, I’m just gonna go watch playthroughs of it.

Why do people think this is a bad dlc😢

They always get someone who hated the game to review the game. Of course it would also be unfair to have somebody who loves a game review it.

SV in general are best described as "basic disappointment," so it's unsurprising that the DLC feels exactly the same.

Its so frustrating that a triple A company like game freak cant make a game that even looks visually good in a VIDEO like its actually so annoying

thank god for emulators.

"not worth it. bought it twice anyway" -every pokemon fan

Cannot believe the best part of Scarlet/Violet's "story" (Nemona, Penny, and Arven) were apparently ditched completely for the DLC so they could continue cramming more probably one-note anime trope characters at us.

The lack of a battle tower facility really made this dlc a let down for me. Also I thought we were gonna spend waaaay more time exploring a new part of area zero.

It’s much better than part one.

There is actually a secret cutscene that makes the story much better go to the crystal lake in kitakami and take terapagos with you

I still often wonder if DLC is better than a 3rd version. The latter, you have to wait but improvements to QOL and content are made, while the former is picking it up anytime but you're stuck with the same old game despite the small extra cost of new content compared to buying it again

Pokémon just isn’t what it used to be anymore. I don’t even get excited for DLCs anymore. I don’t read stories EVER & aside from events, what’s the point of playing. You get on, catch event Pokémon or enter the gift code, & get off. I hate repetition in a game & Pokémon was the ONLY exception I made for that. DRY repetition though is agony 🥱😴

It seemed really, really promising at first, but they definitely dropped the ball at the last moment with the story. Absolutely bizarre that Kieran's drastic character change was in no way related to the final pokemon in the dex, and they kind of just raised even more questions than answers when it came to Area Zero's mysteries, the paradox pokemon and terastalisation.

I'll stick with my Pokémon mmo.. They should have never took away seeing random people online like in wild area in sw/sh that killed it for me.. It's 2024 not 2005! lmao

I just saw that there is going to be an epilogue released early January (I think the 11th?). Maybe that will help wrap the story up some.
