I don't think we know anything about the rooms beyond "they exist" and "Area Zero"
If not through raids probably the end result(s) of those missions mentioned earlier
Man, some of these guesses age poorly.
"availability wise" could mean, in the sense of "it's tied to a mechanic that probably won't move forward".
Khu confirmed that post was wrong iirc
we've progressed so much since fake corocoro scans
In fact we have
i know he's just Like That and as a reviewer you're probably always going to exaggerate but
joe it's DLC, and nothing about your preview is anything outstanding....
I had a chance to read this review, and I don't have any reason to believe this expansion will be anything significant like we may have been hoping and/or expecting for it to be. For starters, I already have my own opinions on how reliable controlled review settings can be, since the developers can very easily only allow reviewers to see things they want the reviewer to see while hiding anything that may be of far more questionable quality. Furthermore, while the content shown is nice for Scarlet & Violet to have, it also doesn't look like much of anything previous Pokémon games didn't already have. Of particular interest is how they said this extra content can be one of the most difficult challenges in the series- I remember controlled reviews were saying the same thing about 5-star raid battles in base game Sword & Shield back in 2019 and despite that I'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who actually supports that opinion. Even so, Pokémon will never be a difficult game at its core development traits. Not only is this a series that's meant to be "accessible" for players of all ages, but there's also the fact that this game's been out for a whole year now and many players will be going into DLC2 with multiple Level 100 Pokémon anyways. Until we see anything about a compelling storyline or significant worldbuilding from the characters and the game world alike, I'm considering this expansion to be little more than justification for giving this game a ridiculous $95 price tag in total.
I feel like Joe's words were taken a bit too literal - and also you do need to take note that Joe is also someone who can't really slander Pokémon too much. He just says its one of the most ambitious expansions that Pokémon have done, which is kinda true given that it's competition is the SWSH DLC and free-releases for PLA lol.
Okay, honestly, that's a really good point. I'd still say this is looking to be a better DLC than that of Sword & Shield when both parts are taken into account (Two parts' worth of SwSh still beat one part's worth of SV, but that's to be expected), and while I still would have preferred Legends to get a bit more content, I also can't really think of what they might have added in all honesty. For example, going back into the future in a hypothetical PLA DLC (say that ten times fast) would just make the longtime fans even more upset towards BDSP than they already were for being... well... just look at it.
The larger problem isn't that Pokémon is an easy game series. There's nothing wrong with games being easy. In fact, I actually welcome it compared to an extremely hard experience. The problem is that the lack of proper scaling feels like something that can and should be implemented with the resources these developers have at their disposal. The Indigo Disk is strictly post-game content from what we've learned up to this point, and with base game Paldea's admittedly very large main story behind players at this point in the game as well as a massive list of Pokémon to choose from between Paldea and Kitakami's PokéDexes, this feels like a situation where even newer players might have to specifically push themselves to add challenge to the game again. Harder than base game SV or The Teal Mask? Maybe, but I wouldn't say either of those are a hard bar to top to begin with. Admittedly, there is a way to fix this- adding in dedicated Level 100-tier rematches against important NPCs for more experienced players could be a great idea without getting in the way of newer players playing through The Indigo Disk's story too much. Preferably this is the route they take, but we'll have to see.
