All Starter Pokémon to Make a Return in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC

Exciting News for Pokémon Fans!

At the end of the 2023 Pokémon World Championships, a big announcement stole the show. All Starter Pokémon are making a comeback in the Scarlet and Violet games. They will be part of “The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero” DLC’s second part.

This will happen with the release of “The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero: The Indigo Disk” this winter. They will be found in different places within the Blueberry Academy’s underwater eco-dome. How you will bump into them is still a mystery.

Incineroar and other starters that were missing in Gen IX are coming back. They will change the game in competitive play. Whether you play to win or just for fun, this news is exciting. The second part of the DLC will let you team up with these familiar faces again.
