>>53670941I played it pretty recently, ignored the DLC entirely because DLCs are never part of the actual game otherwise they would have been included in the base game. I didn't attempt to break the game, because that would ruin all of the fun, nor did the game break itself for me on a silver platter. I had a pleasant time, beat the normal campaign, and then did a little bit of the battle tower double battles or whatever they call it, and then I stopped playing the game when I stopped being entertained by it, which is something that any healthy person would do
I never engaged with the DLC, and I probably will never engage with the DLC. After I beat the game, I walked into it, fucking hated the weird ass dude looks like a lady hat man, got forced into some cutscenes, and then nope'd the fuck out of there, never to return
I gave myself some of these pokemon via pxhex because I didn't want to go to some DLC shit place to catch them
