Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: The Hidden Treasure Of Area Zero Gets New Trailer

I saw Flygon, that's all it takes to make me happy

Since the quality of Pokémon games have fallen, I do not feel like buying a Pokémon ever again. When they start carrying about their product again, I might give Pokémon another chance.

I feel so dissapointed by a franchise I used to love so much. I just don’t care anymore.

This looks so good. That huge open world area below the ocean in the 2nd phase looks awesome.

@ZeldaNX sames. Usually I’m excited for Pokemon but I’ve not even bothered to renew home to transfer over Violet mons.

I bet when this popped up in the direct many people groaned in annoyance.

This looks really good. Will pick up pokemon when this drops.

Dear Nintendolife, do you love or hate directs? It looks like so much work to cover everything xD

Something about this trailer didn't do it for me. That said, still looking forward to the DLC since I enjoyed the main game so much.

I could count the pixels in the trailer.
This game looked the roughest in the whole direct and thats saying something, especially since it's a first party game.

I haven't enjoyed a Pokemon game as much as Scarlet and Violet since the Silver/Gold/Crystal era so I'm pretty excited about this game.

Just like the Sword/Shield DLC, this looks like it could easily have been repurposed into a slightly cheaper standalone game.

In any case, I won't be buying it unless they issue a complete all-in-one physical release later on. The AU$52.50 asking price is bloody obscene (the base game itself can be found at retail for just a few dollars more!).

If they haven't tripled the length of the face/emotion-matching gym challenge then I'm out. Can't take the best part of the base game and just ignore it.

I'm hoping when they release the DLC that they can shift focus and release some performance patches for the entirety of the game.

Still waiting to grab one of the games (likely Scarlet) when they're bundled with all this DLC. Waiting paid off with Sw/Sh lol.

So I really enjoyed Scarlet despite the technical issues and there is no denying there are still serious technical issues with Scarlet, but did anyone else notice that even in their trailer, their own promotional material, the framerate was awful at parts? Like that bit with the crowd jumping in front of Clavell was basically a Powerpoint presentation 😂

I think that bit specifically was from the current build, which is, as noted, awful technically but you could see some of the new footage they put in was still a bit janky.

If the main game gets fixed by the time these DLCs come out, I'll grab the bundle.

Fix the goddamn main game. Then I'll play the DLC.

Was pleasantly surprised to see a full reveal at the start of the Direct! The two areas look much larger than I imagined, and the characters look great.

The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero is one of my 2023 highlights! Looking forward to this.

Guessing they don't have a Pokémon Direct, then.
But I do agree. Fix your game first, then you can have some DLC.

The Terrarium was a surprise. I wonder how many new ideas they could throw at this DLC package, and if they plan even more for next year (though I think they could be small updates/free DLC instead).

I know Game Freak is already working on the Gen X game (and hopefully with no schedule limit here), and I really hope they use Legends Arceus as the main inspiration there, because knowing Game Freak, this DLC could be a hint of the kind of gameplay ideas they wanted in the base game.

It looks really bare bones with one having over a year to be developed, not like we'll see any big differences when it comes out.
