Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero – Part 2: The Indigo Disk

Official Site (Bulbapedia Article)

Mouthful of a title… TWO. Originally this was meant to be posted either on or a day or too after the 23rd of December but then TPCI had to go an announce an epilogue which released on the 11th of January. I kind of felt as a result that I needed to at least play that first, which good job ‘cus it does cap off the game!

A non-spoiler tl;dr: I enjoyed it! It has performance issues to no-one’s surprise but the story and music is great.

If you thought Part 1: The Teal Mask post was full of spoilers, boy howdy get ready for MORE. There’s absolutely no way to avoid talking about The Indigo Disk without some spoilers, especially as I theory-crafted in The Teal Mask post.

Thoughts like a review below but there ARE spoilers so if you don’t want the spoilers: A summary – I enjoyed it but it is a little lacklustre compared to it’s Sword and Shield equivalent. There are some technical issues that need addressing oh my god are there.
