Good DLC, adds a ton of older generation Pokemon to the game. Was a ton of fun to play the first part and I’m looking forward to the second part in a few weeks.

Bought this for my boyfriend, he has been enjoying it a lot. I’ve had it before purchasing this. Super neat DLC! Though pokemon scarlet and violet have their own issues on its own I find these to be a very enjoyable addition to the experience.

Was an amazing present for my wife. Adds more life to a game she was already loving in the first place. Despite to bugs and flaws its a great experience solo or with a friend. Go back to your youth and stop being so meticulous over something made for fun!

5/5 Teal Mask, 4/5 Indigo disc

The Teal Mask was exceptional! Loved the land of Kitikami, the new characters were fun, and Ogrepon is the most adorable howbeit very strong critter ever! 5/5 for this part!
The Indigo Disc is a very fun addition although I definitely think the Teal Mask was where this expansion shined. Terapagos is cute a has a nice spin with his Tera typing, however I wish there was a bit more you could do with him after you are able to catch him. BP in the academy take a bit to earn unless you are playing with lots of your friends, and since that is the way to unlock starters in the area, it felt like I spent ages trying to unlock them. This area was pretty fun to explore and the league along with the battles with trainers were actually pretty challenging, which I liked! Very solid DLC, if you were happy with the base game, try this one out!

No one is playing this game.
1 Palworld is better and many IMPOSSOBLE MECHANICS from lazy devs.
Raids are rigged with inpossible mechanics. Rules do not make sense
Blatantly skips turns as a mechanic - lame
Waste of time with constant dialog. You can be winning and doing good, then all of a sudden long times of dialog in combat. We are talking 10 seconds of just wathing messages on the screen while you watch the timer run.
Raid bosses seam to have unlimited abilities. Change your lineup and watcg the raid bosses have NEW abilities.
Another lame mechanic is how the gane changes your input selection randomly and is just stupid the consider this a mechanic on a 1 player game. Not an MMO because no one is playing this because of palworld.

Unfortunately, there is a rather pricey tag for this sizeable chunk of gameplay that Game Freak decided to price it at. But, it will extend your gameplay and give you some more pokemon to catch along with more entertaining scenes and fights. Overall, its worth it if you like Pokemon or have a kid who loved the game.

Fantastic Expansion for an Already Great Adventure

The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero expansion really elevates the Pokémon Scarlet/Violet experience. Both story arcs—The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk—bring fresh environments, new characters, and plenty of Pokémon that weren’t available in the base game, making exploration exciting again.
I especially loved the variety of returning Pokémon from past generations, which adds a nice nostalgic touch while giving more options for team building. The new legendary encounters and special battles feel rewarding and well worth the journey.
On the Nintendo Switch OLED, the colors in the new areas look vibrant and sharp, and the experience runs smoothly across the standard Switch and Switch Lite as well. It’s a perfect reason to revisit Paldea and dive deeper into the story of Area Zero.
If you enjoyed the base game, this expansion is a must-have. It adds hours of content, fun new challenges, and expands the world in meaningful ways. Highly recommended for both casual players and longtime Pokémon fans!

I waited to buy the dlc for over a year. I was skeptical especially after getting the Pokémon Sword dlc. But this one is worth it as it extends the gameplay quite a bit. And who doesnt love an encounter with the Elite Four

I have played this non stop. Graphics are amazing and love the attention to detail of the free roaming Pokemon. The DLC is a must add and it brings in so many Pokemon from previous generations including the prior starters and lots of legendaries. You will not be disappointed.

If you like Pokemon, you'll like this. If you've already played the main game, you'll know about the horrible visuals and performance. Nothing is really different here. It's doesn't really ruin the experience though.
If you want all the new Pokemon, you have to buy the dlc for both copies of the game.

The story line for the teal mask DLC is quite short but it is enough to keep you busy for a bit. The map is a bit smaller than the original but the pokemon density is a lot greater than the original map. It is not difficult to complete the 200 pokemon Pokédex even with the version exclusive pokemon.
