Pokémon continues to hog the mainstream spotlight, this time with the release of The Hidden Treasures of Area Zero: The Indigo Disk, scheduled for its launch on the Nintendo Switch come December 14. The announcement ushers in the second installment of the much-anticipated DLC, which promises to whisk trainers away from the familiar confines of the Paldea region and into an enthralling chapter of the Pokémon saga.
The latest expansion follows the initial offering of The Teal Mask that hit the storeshelves back in September and took players on a trip to the Kitakami region. This time, trainers will circle back to the Unova region, the setting of Pokémon Black and White. This strategic return to Unova, embodied within the avant-garde halls of Blueberry Academy, has sparked speculation about possible remakes of the beloved fifth-generation games.
Trainers can look forward to an enriched roster of Pokémon, including the previous starters from the franchise's storied lineage, all converging in this expansion. Moreover, the new Elite Four and the introduction of the legendary Terapagos, with its speculated multi-type abilities inflating the stakes for the trainers looking to etch their names in the annals of Pokémon history. Notably, Terapagos, adorned with a shell depicting all 18 Pokémon types, has been teased as having unique Terastelization powers, hinting at an elaborate gameplay feature that could potentially reshape the dynamics of Pokémon battles.
