The first DLC excursion of Pok?mon Scarlet and Violet have a release date. Part 1, The Teal Mask, arrives on September 13, and its follow-up The Indigo Disk arrives in winter 2023.
A trailer shown during today's Pok?mon Presents (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QiLe4pTHAE) dove into what we can expect from*Scarlet*and*Violet's two-part DLC (https://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-shows-off-more-of-the-pokemon-scarlet-violet-dlc/), both set to arrive this year. The Teal Mask follows two trainers, Carmine and her younger brother Kieran, as we get wrapped up in a festival and local folklore.

Of course, there are new Pok?mon to catch. Dipplin is a dipped version of Applin. It looks like some special Pok?mon are also tied into the folk tale surrounding the Festival of Masks we can attend.
Perrin, a Pok?mon photographer, will also be around to give players missions to snap shots. A racing minigame will also garner Mochi, which lets you train Pokemon as you want. A Roto Stick upgrade also gives players* some new photo mode options. All of that is part of Pok?mon*Scarlet*and*Violet's The Teal Mask DLC, arriving on September 13.
The BB League awaitsFor The Indigo Disk, the second part of*Pok?mon*Scarlet and Violet*DLC, the player heads to the Blueberry Academy as an exchange student. Here, you basically get wrapped up in a battle anime plot, as the students seem to like battling in their own BB League.

There's also a new open area with different biomes, new classes to take, and a special trial that will let your Koraidon or Miraidon fly instead of glide. A few other neat features await in The Indigo Disk, including new Pok?ball throwing styles and a way to hang out with trainers from Paldea.
All of the DLC adventures lead back to where Pok?mon Scarlet and Violet concluded (https://www.destructoid.com/pokemon-scarlet-violet-ending-lets-talk-discussion-spoilerchat/) in the base game: Area Zero. As the entire DLC pack is called The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, it looks like there will be more mysteries to uncover in that deep crater.
Though the base game arrived a bit rough, I'm still interested to see where Game Freak takes the story from here. Area Zero was one of the most interesting parts of*Scarlet*and*Violet, and these two DLC packs seem to be leaning into some strong areas. It'll be interesting to see how these additions come together.
