I'm pretty impressed at how many new megas they ended up throwing in there, and how much about the DLC they kept a secret.
For how gay gamefreak is I've been pretty happy with their DLCs between this and S/V's.

>>729151278
Comes with more new mega evolutions than advertised - I counted 20 which is near the amount the base game introduced. Also about 8 new boss fights, tag battles with the story characters, a lot of returning Pokémon, a pretty decently lengthed story, some new modes like boss rush and survival, and about 80 new side quests. Also you can unlock the clothes for the story characters, including their hair.

The biggest plus for me is it makes the grindy gameplay loop of the initial postgame way more rewarding. Every battle earns you rare items and balls, research tasks that help you find Gimmighoul coins or catching shiny Pokémon. It’s a must buy for the game, it upgrades it in every way you’d want.

Everyone on /vp/ says it downgraded the game.

Nintendo falling for the roguelike/grind meme is one of the worst trends in recent memory. What the fuck are "raids" doing in my pokemon games? Get out of here with that shit!
>>
>>729151179
Why is it the worst received Pokemon DLC then?
>>
>>729154101
So what does the game do that improves your gameplay experience?
Is it worth spending 90 USD (total) on these enhancements?

>>729154121
But I ran back and forth until the timer expired and no alpha spawned :(

I heard it barely added any new content.

It’s trendy to hate on pokemon

>>729151179
Nobody I know even bothered to buy it, I remember a ton of people bought Sword & Shield (and bitched about it towards the end kek), a couple people bought SV and Arceus (Arceus was actually well received), but not a single person I know bought Z-A. Maybe we've just aged out of pokemon, but all the kids I know just play shit like roblox on loop so I'm not sure if the younger generations are buying it either. The sales numbers for pokemon games always baffles me.
>>
>>729154245
>Likely people too broke to afford it.
Or people are (rightfully) hesitant to throw an extra $30 at GameFreak based on their recent (decade+) track record. Doesn't help that DLC is almost always overpriced, and this doesn't seem to be an exception. $30 isn't a lot of money, but it can net a bigger return on investment than Mega Dimension, I'm sure.

It's just a post game grinding mode for minmaxxing and shiny hunting in a game that that puts little value into player to player interaction in the first place.
>>
>>729154431
Its true.

They are essentially trying to sell the Space Time Distortion shit no one liked in USUM's post game as stand alone DLC. But at least that had cool environments and music.

>The sales numbers for pokemon games always baffles me.
Doesn't even matter for Z-A if the budget that leaked for the game was legit. The game was going to make a profit even if sales were shit by pokemon standards.

>SWSH
Boring. Terrible gimmick. Possibly the ugliest dex in the series. But sadly, it was the closest we got to a proper pokemon game on Switch.
>Arceus
Clunky. Way too many cutscenes. But it was alright, overall. I still don't get the hype.
>BDSP
Awful, lazy remakes. Couldn't decide between being "faithful" or "modern", so it would up being a bastardized hybrid. It probably has the best battle facility on Switch...but that bar is in the dirt.
>SV
Story elements have improved...but who the fuck plays pokemon for the story? The gimmick is a lot better than SWSH's (minus the gay hats). Open world is an empty void with nothing to do aside from gawk at low-res pokemon randomly standing around doing nothing. I don't know why devs opt for large worlds when they aren't going to flesh them out properly. Performance issues and bugs galore.
>DLC (in general)
Overpriced. None of these games deserve to double dip.
>>
>>729151179
I haven't seen a complete drop-off of art like I did Lucario Z. What a failure on all fronts. Could be that most artists were drawing Pawbert though.

It added
>22 new Megas
>A new story
>130 returning Pokémon
>83 new side quests
>a new battle zone to farm apricon balls and bottle caps
>new wild zones that you can now use for better shiny hunting
>8 new boss battles
>4 new boss dungeon areas
>3000 new trainer battles
>Tag battles with the different factions in the city
>A boss rush mode
>A dodging survival mode
>A new photo mode for sleeping
>New customization options including hair and clothes from characters in the game
>new music for WiFi battles

It’s pretty substantial, and it’s $5 cheaper than the last dlc they did
>>
>>729154458
It being on a new system that is both very expensive and limited quantity probably has something to do with that. I'll bet it gets a significant sales uptick for/just after Christmas

There is never a point where you ever need to do this you stupid fuck. The game gives you enough berries for every single run. The only reason you’d be grinding is if you didn’t understand the berry mechanics in general and were using the wrong donuts, like a typical tard.

Very little meaningful content. Sidequests are barely engaging, the new Megas would have been more appreciated during the main story but don't feel very significant post game and the new areas are literally the existing city with filter effects and a skybox background.

It adds a lot of superfluous content. The DLC is mostly being played post game by existing Z-A players, so a lot of the added content isn't stuff your going to engage with at that point. I only ended up using one of the new Megas for example (Golurk) because my team was mostly figured out by then. And I was already past the point where the the fetch quests could give me anything useful.
The new areas as well as he way levels and encounters work feel completely ephemeral, and at the same time fighting level 132 guys using a temporary buff doesn't really feel particularly interesting either.
It feels like the kind of content they would stick at the end of certain games in the series just to keep people busy... But those things usually don't cost extra in this series.

That doesn’t have anything to do with the dlc itself. Shiny hunting itself is inherently grindy, you’re soft resenting for hours.

Since this is the only /v/ pokemon gameplay thread.

Should I play S/V now that I have a Switch 2 and it runs at 60fps? I heard the DLC content is all double battles which sounds actually really fun but also still have to play past the base game. Is it overall alright now that theres no more performance issues? Z/A already desensitized me to shitty textures at least
>>
>>729160665
No it wasn’t? If you even checked the reviews, you’d see that. All the outlets that hate Pokémon gave it a bad review, the ones that like pokemon gave it a good review, and the user reviews is filled with reviewbombing. It’s not that complicated squirt.

>>729161250
SV switch 2 is great but the dlc isn’t worth it if you don’t have friends, as it has an insanely intrusive grind that prevents you from doing anything beyond the story unless you grind up the points necessary. Good luck doing that on your own.
>>
>>729161250
I liked SV's DLC, but the main game isn't very good. It was alright for a playthrough, but I did a second for the DLC and the novelty of "waow open world pokemon" wasn't there anymore and it left just an empty, badly designed game
>>
>>729161250
>I heard the DLC content is all double battles
There's some double battles, but not much. Not sure who told you it's ALL the battles. But regardless, it's still the best Pokémon DLC I've ever played. The story and characters are more memorable than the base game, they add tools that improve QOL for shiny hunting and EV/IV training, and there's one area that allows you to fly freely with your bike mon. No more shitty gliding (at least in that one area)
>>
>>729159346
You can’t access the dlc unless you beat the game. Good job telling on yourself retard.
>>
>>729161250
The dlc ruins the story setup completely and switches focus to some edgy kid. Also most of its biggest additions are locked behind the shitty BBQ point system where you need 3000+ points to unlock stuff but only earn 20-40 points if you’re playing solo. I can’t even complete the Pokédex because the starters are locked behind four 3000 point requirements.

I, BITCHachu-sama, mascot of the HIGHEST-GROSSING FRANCHISE and JOBBER of the vidya industry humbly kneel to:

Shuntaro Furukawa-sama, former employee of TPC, current Nintendo CEO, and my master.

TPC-sama, my one and only true love and other master.

Atlus-sama, who I shamelessly ripped off via SMT for my gameplay only for them to strike back with CHADsona.

Palworld-sama, who my daddy Furukawa warned me about.

Enix-sama, who easily manhandled me with Dragon Quest Monsters.

Yugi Muto and Kazuki Takahashi-sama, who anally raped me and first awakened my wish to become a TCG and merchandising franchise first and foremost.

Junichi Masuda-sama, who argued with me and his employees at GameFreak so hard, his departure started to cause the quality of my games to decrease and got me attracted to MEN...

Squaresoft-sama, whose incomparabily soulful JRPGs in the 90s crushed my ass-womb entirely to the point I STILL cannot SUPRASS them, even 22 years after merging with Enix-sama.

Bamco-sama, whose hour-long beatings from the recent Digimon gamed gave me uncontrollable orgasms so massive even the anal rape from Furukawa-sama can't compare.

Itoi-sama, for his Mother Trilogy is the superior JRPG series of my Nintendo MASTERS, and has single-handedly inspired more Indie RPGs than even I have...

Level-5-sama, whose power I am scared of (I am glad they stopped making Yokai Watch and didn't kill my beloved masters, as I was too scared to help them…)

Sandfall-sama, who revenge-raped and mindbroke me and my fanbase via E33 from the sheer pleasure of being made into an onahole after Legends Z-A FLOPPED in France. (I was so sad about it...)

and finally, Monolithsoft-sama, for they will FUCK ME up on the world stage once they release their Zelda RPG and expose me and GameFreak for the frauds we are. (God I hope so…)

That's the fucked up part, all the Pokemon DLCs just feel like post-games that used to be included for free. If ORAS came out today, the Delta Episode would be paid DLC. And Pokeshills just eat this shit up without any backlash.

Sure it would be a little more expanded but I don't think that justifies having to pay money for what has traditionally always been there. Plus there's the Sevii Islands in FRLG and Kanto in the Johto games as big expansive post-games that didn't cost money.
