No, they’re just an excuse for gay freaky to Jew us by halfassing the main region.

i loved the dlc zones in s/v. i much prefer it to buying a second version of the same game and replaying everything. i can bring my same team if i so choose, or swap em out for new mons as i find them. way better than what we used to have.

yeah, people on /vp/ will find asinine reasons to say no like they do for things like regionals and convergents, but organic worldbuilding like showing us new places and the people and pokémon that live in them is always going to be a good addition. i would rather have DLC like this forever than ever see another third version.

No, which is why we're going in that direction. DLCs are in a shitty position where they're balanced for newcomers, but release 8 months after everyone beat the game and have a full party of legendaries.

The levels scale, but you're still fighting a level 60 Poochyena with 2 moves in the first Kieran fight.

Definitely better than third versions. Although I do wish they would integrate the base game a bit better. SVs DLC had barely anything to do with the base game, which was its biggest weakness. At least they gave up an epilogue, I liked that.

They would be if they were stand alone expansions so I don't have to buy the shitty game they're attached to and just enjoy the relatively fun part. There should probably be some benefit for players who did buy the game though, which again other mostly stand-alone DLC does. The Xenoblade titles on Switch have done it to varying degrees of success if you need a contemporaneous example.

Can you buy Switch DLC on Switch 2?
If you can still get them going forward then they're annoying but whatever, but if ten years from now its unavailable then they're really bad.

Yes, Switch 2 doesn't have a separate eShop, it's the exact same thing. You can browse Switch 2 (and maybe buy, idk) games on Switch 1, too

If going back to enhanced versions means more USUM and less Emerald and Platinum, then yes, however, with how the DLCs have been handled thus far, I'd say no since it means a weakened base game on purpose and pay-to-win with questionable QoL and overpowered legendaries. New areas are nice, but not at the cost of everything else.
The ideal is one complete game, no split versions, and no DLC or DLC is a free update, basically PLA without Mystery Gift.

I wish we got proper routes in them instead of open world slop.

Also kitakami has one of the worst dexes in pokemon like 95% filler and nothing worthwhile coming from there, Indigo disk saved the regional dex hard.

the whole point of dlc is to add entirely new content after the fact to expand upon the base game, not to just readd things that should have been in the base game or were in previous games. that's why isle of armor fucking sucked cuz it was 99% old shit

Honestly, I'd rather USUM because it at least made some improvements to the base Alola. Galar and Paldea will always suck because they weren't designed with DLC in mind.

It's two games anon
Left is Scarlet/Violet, right is Sword/Shield
I think SV is pretty good albeit ugly. It runs like shit though but the emulator cam fix that
SwSh sucks shit though, I wouldn't even emulate it

Well let's imagine this
>Alternate timeline where DP (somehow) managed to get DLC on the DS instead of Platinum
-Main game remains the exact same (with all the shitty slowdowns, limited dex, boring overworld and other terrible design choices)
- They add an extra area (like the battle zone) to explore
-Some new mechanic that lets you get extra legendaries
-More decorations to the Underground bases
-Couple more evolutions to past Pokemon

Would you prefer it over Platinum?

I feel like they'll need to get the base game's region right before asking people to shell out for another. Especially with those prices, and the price hike for Switch 2 games.
