A consistent problem with the Pokémon series over the last few years is that it's just a bit too easy. This was an even bigger problem when it came to DLC.
For most players, past DLC was released after they'd already been grinding the main game for years, and were likely equipped with a ton of top-level Pokémon. This meant that no matter what challenges the DLC posed, sheer power could swiftly alleviate them. The Indigo Disk looks to change that.
Set at Blueberry Academy, a school in the Unova region, you're invited to explore the new location and take on some of the toughest trainers yet seen in a Pokémon game. You're also given access to a huge open-world Terarium area that simulates four biomes, a coastal shore, a snowy peak, a vast canyon, and a dry savannah.
During our preview session, we got to run around the open world area for almost an hour, catching Pokémon and battling trainers. While in some ways this a very transparent way to reintroduce dozens and dozens of old favorites (including every starter Pokemon ever) it's also a glimpse into what awaits you when you take on the DLC's main campaign battles.
