We loved The Indigo Disk. This expansion serves as a great finale to the story of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, introducing charismatic characters, a good number of new Pokémon to complete our Pokédex and mechanics such as Synchronization or flying with Koraidon or Miraidon that we really liked. In addition, thanks to its higher difficulty and its great final arc, it has kept us hooked from start to finish.
It’s safe to say that this DLC will please just about any Pokémon fan. There’s so much to do, and all of it is way more engaging than usual, packaged in all of the best aspects of the main game. It may not fix the game’s biggest flaws, but it’s clear that the team at Game Freak knows what the fans want. If they can just get their technology in order and stick to the ideas pushed in this DLC, the next mainline Pokémon game could be something truly incredible.

questo DLC se fosse stato presente fin dall'inizio nel gioco base avrebbe migliorato di molto la narrazione ma messo in combo col bioterarium questo DLC fa ben sperare per il futuro pokemon anche se con alcune incertezza tecniche e visive

Un DLC che soddisfa molto sia dal punto di vista esplorativo che narrativo, ma il frame rate risulta avvolte fastidioso e il finale troppo veloce

While I had a good time with The Teal Mask, The Indigo Disk was a marked improvement. You’ve got more Pokemon to catch, tougher battles to win, and more to do. On top of that, the story told in the two releases wraps up in a satisfying, well-crafted way. I still wish the clothing options were more robust, to be sure. And the game still doesn’t always run great. But it got me playing Pokemon Violet again, and I’m going to keep doing so. There’s more Legendaries to scoop up, after all. If you’re looking for more from the latest Pokemon game, the Area Zero DLC has some serious bang for your buck.
The Indigo Disk is a blast to play alone and with friends, but it’s still held back by all the same technical issues that made Pokemon Scarlet and Violet a disaster.
Like The Teal Mask and the base games before it, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk is a fine experience that just feels like it needed more time to cook. The new features and additions make it an enjoyable DLC, but the performance problems occur frequently and are often distracting. The newest battles add a bit more challenge to Gen 9, and roaming around the Terarium to catch the latest Pokémon is still the biggest draw. Overall, the good outweighs the bad. There's no denying how fun it all is.
In essence, the Zone Zero Buried Treasure DLC is perfect for fans. As promised, it offers a new Pokédex to fill out: it will therefore be perfect for seasoned collectors, especially since the new activities offered in the Indigo Mask give a particular but very pleasant flavor to the gameplay. Conversely, it does not offer anything revolutionary: the story is not particularly worth the detour; the technique is identical to the previous ones and the fights are not particularly striking except for the small seed of challenge that they offer to unprepared players. In a few words, The Indigo Disc is an excellent DLC for fans whose ideas are too little exploited to make it essential for the uninitiated.
The Indigo Disk takes a few steps forward for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. There’s some genuine challenge, a nice variety of activities, and a fun new world to explore in the Terarium; if you love Pokémon, you’ll absolutely enjoy what’s on offer here. But the DLC drops the ball in terms of narrative, offering an unsatisfying and rushed conclusion to Scarlet & Violet’s story, along with the grindy BP system and those ever-present performance issues. It’s fun at best and disappointing at worst, with a lot of missed potential left on the picnic table.
Un DLC più che piacevole con attività secondarie, più che intrattenenti, e una narrazione che se approdondità meglio avrebbe potuto raggiungere quella di Nero e Bianco

Meh... I really don't know what to say about this. I have loved Scarlet and Violet probably more than most other folks. I have overlooked the bad, and I really love the games, despite all the backlash, but these DLC packs have been lacking quite a bit. For all the issues that Sword and Shield had last generation, a lot of it was cleaned up in the DLC, and I had hoped the support for legendaries would be improved in the new DLC, like it was last generation. Unfortunately, it was not. Sure, it brought back several legendaries, but it wasn't all of them, and some generations (especially 6) got the shaft with no legendaries or mythicals brought over. By the end of the run for Sword and Shield, pretty much all legendaries, mythicals, and ultra beasts were supported. Here, they are not, and it doesn't make a ton of sense in which ones made the cut and which ones did not.
The DLCs themselves have been quite weak. I overlooked the teal mask, because the isle of armor for generation 8 was not huge either, but the crown tundra was massive and brought with it a ton of quality of life updates. I figured the same would be here.... nope. This DLC was actually quite possibly, shorter than even the teal mask. It left me wondering if this was extremely rushed. It felt like it was. The ending was pretty cool, and there was a neat scene at the end that I won't spoil, but about 15 cool minutes and about 5 hours of extended gameplay? It's definitely not worth the price. Neither DLC are. I'm disappointed and I hope for more later, and definitely want them to bring support to all the legendaries and mythicals that are still not supported at this moment.
Also, it's quite lame to have us play hard trainers in this DLC and then the legendaries that are brought back and associated to treat quests have 0 IVs and horrible movesets. That's unforgivable and a slap in the face. I do have all legendaries and mythicals, but I am also going to take on all the quests I'm given in DLC and that's just a waste of all of our time. These games are great, even if they have horrible performance issues, but these DLCs are pretty bad. I either want my money back or I'd like a third pack to make this worth my money.
Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra were worth my money... This... was not.

This DLC confirms Game Freak's inability to deliver mainline Pokémon content that fans anticipate. It fails to address the questions raised in the base game. The new academy is an empty, bugged world populated by only 20 trainers, offering repetitive gameplay through the same five tasks. These tasks, rewarded with points, must be continuously farmed, artificially extending playtime. The only part I commend is the soundtrack, which continues to rank among the best in the state-of-the-art gaming industry. Consider purchasing only if you need Pokémon for the VGC and wish to obtain them legally.

With a year to cook in the oven, the dlc runs worse, not by much, than the main game. Running 15-20 for with loads of pop ins and stutters. Playing this is just a chore and eyesoreing experience. 3/10
