'Pokémon' Reveals New 'The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero' DLC Trailer for 'Pokémon Scarlet' and 'Violet'
Featuring five new Pokémon, an initial release date and more.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet burst onto the scene in November of last year, ultimately scoring the record for Nintendo‘s fastest-selling game ever. However, there’s more to the story to be told. In February, The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC was announced in two parts — Part 1: The Teal Mask and Part 2: The Indigo Disk.
A second trailer for the DLC component of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has been shared — revealing new Pokémon, an initial release date and more. Looking first at The Teal Mask, the land of Kitakami is showcased with new trainers joining in on the fun. Alongside new Pokémon, various familiar Pokémon not found in the Paldea region are being added to the games. Following this, The Indigo Disk takes place at the Blueberry Academy, a newly-built school mostly located underwater, and similarly introduces new and existing Pokémon to the titles..
