I Played The Indigo Disk DLC EARLY In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet!

[@bippythechippy882]

It has just occurred to me that the reason you got so popular enough to be able to do this is because of a really long Dunsparce hunt, and as a Dunsparce fan, I salute you.

[@orlandorodriguez616]

Fr, I found her out that way and now I’ve seen every video she’s posted since then, very entertaining

[@Tobunari]

I got at least a few videos before the dunsparce stuff, and even then I ignored it.

[@Nicrocon]

She really has come a long way in the past few years. I remember finding her channel by pure coincidence through her Mario Sunshine LP back in 2020. Afterwards I joined in for some of her Dynamax Adventure streams with viewers on KZbin and Twitch. I'm so amazed and somehow proud that she managed to blow up in such a short time.

shame you weren’t considered important enough to play it early- :/

[@Nicrocon]

I feel like if I were offered to fly out to NYC by myself, even if it was for Pokémon related reasons, I'd also be so anxious. I don't know if I'd be able to handle it either. I get nervous walking around in big cities even if I'm with people.

[@ShinyCatherine]

This is how I felt exactly! Like I knew I wasn’t gonna pass up on an opportunity like this because it’s an absolute dream come true 😭 but man I was so anxious flying to Toronto last year and I wasn’t alone so this was insane!

[@jay-virm]

This is HUGE for anyone who wanted to see a bit more of the experience early! Congrats for getting the opportunity!

[@ShinyCatherine]

Hey guys! Sorry I didn’t talk about performance- I completely forgot to 😅 To be fair, I only played the game for 40 minutes so it’s hard to come to a conclusion on whether the performance is good or not. But if we do come to a conclusion based on that, it’s pretty solid. I had no frame drops, though other players may have experienced that. Basically right now the performance is hard to talk about conclusively. Also I know everyone has differing opinions and it’s okay to discuss and debate things, but be kind to one another, ok? Be safe, y’all :)

[@itranscendencei7964]

If it wasn't instantly noticable, then they didn't make any improvements at all.

I just found your channel today! I'm really impressed by the editing/use of in-game camera to have your avatar react to the narration. It keeps the video visually engaging and creates comedic moments. Definitely looking forwards to the DLC now that I know there will be double battles. I'll keep an eye out for your future videos on the DLC.

[@The_Legendary_Nic]

Glad to see them take a page from the GameCube games and make every trainer battle a double battle. Gives me high hopes for some interesting team building Although if I may ask a question, even if I can’t get a direct answer, will there be any, how you say, _”legendary”_ encounters in the second DLC?

[@UltraBall23]

No one made it that far. They only got to play an hour 😏

[@razrv3lc]

I’m sure there will be. Every post game since ORAS has had most legendaries shiny huntable. Hoopa rings in ORAS, the wormhole in SuMo, the Dynamax Adventures in SwSh (which got added to the second DLC). BDSP also had those weird things in Ramanas Park. I’d be surprised if there’s not another thing like this in the Indigo Disk.

[@erics9191]

There was a leak a while ago that suggested we’ll have access to some old legendaries, and they will not be shiny locked. It’s not confirmed yet, but I believe they’ll give us access to some more legendaries

I have to say out of all the DLC preview videos I've watched so far I think I've enjoyed yours the most. I like your use of different music throughout your discussion segments that match the theme of what you're talking about mixed with a bit of comedic timing. Keep up the great work!

Anyone making these hateful comments on here need to just STOP. I will admit I first saw Catgerine when she started the Dunsparce Hunt for that glorious 3 Segment.

[@Toy_freddyofficial1]

Been here since before the dudunsparce series and im so happy seing how far youve come truly inspiring

[@Makocat]

This game has been helping me evolve as a player. I was never good at pokemon battles despite being an adult so the first dlc was difficult to beat treating battles as competitive matches (no items and self imposed switch style) Then I met many wonderful people who became my friends and we all got the itch to become better. Now I am about to fight our own Pokémon league and test my new abilities, and this dlc will be the perfect test for that. The first part of the dlc helped me to get started in competitive. The second part will serve as a stepping stone into the bigger world that competitive Pokémon is.

One thing I always did in double battles is focus on a single oponant unless I had all range attacks like heatwave or dazling gleam and force my oponant into a two on one fight.

[@mituni14]

That's so cool you can catch all the previous starter pokemon! I hope you shiny hunt all of them!

[@quantasium]

Terrarium means artificial environment. It was most likely created as a Pokémon preserve to protect endangered species. For example, if the Totodile population in Johto is wiped out be overhunting or a plague, the terrarium can mass breed more and reintroduce them.

[@TS-uu4hp]

Most exciting thing I saw was you pick up a flying tera shard off the ground which you can do in the base game but gives me hope that we can finally farm them by picking them up everywhere

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

If it was a pokeball item spot, then maybe not. But if it's a sparkle one then absolutely. Though I do want to ask where in the video that was. Might be able to help verify the type of item spot

[@cobaltprime9467]

Oh wow the DLC is gonna be challenging? Thank God. I’ve been building so many pokemon for the 6-7⭐️ Raids and a lot of shinies that I wanna actually battle with in game. There’s no Battle Tower or anything so I hope the post game will have that now. I’m assuming Terapagos will be a 100% catch rate like Ogerpon was (though maybe catching it will be an optional thing). I’ve been saving the Beast Ball on my Scarlet file specifically for this turtle. I used my Violet one to catch a shiny Iron Valiant (not relevant I just wanted to flex my ability to save scum like 200 times). And it’s awesome that the bio dome will have all the starters. It’s always bothered me that we couldn’t catch those Pokémon in their regions outside of special games like Let’s Go and PLA. Gonna be a lot easier to get them in Apriballs and shiny hunt them instead of breeding for the chance of one.

[@nolongeraperson]

I hope they pull a rug pull on everyone and you throw a ball to catch it and it instantly goes into phase 2 with a full health bar like a Fromsoft boss. 😈

[@caiusdrakegaming8087]

May be in the minority myself saying this, but I hope ID also gives us the Safari and Sport Balls in an easier method than how SwSh allowed us. A 0.1% drop rate from using 4 apricorns is technically fair but also SUCH a pain to grind if you have multiple targets you want to get in them. Like for me, I had 5 Sport Ball targets in SwSh I wanted to get, which means just going off the percentage I would have needed to do at least 5000 Cram-o-matic crafts to get it. If ID ca gives us a technically easier method to obtain these two, I'll be happy.

Double battles, eh? Glad they're making *some* kind of comeback. I'm a huge fan of Colosseum and XD, and I started with the Hoenn games before then around the same time, so naturally I'm also a double battle fan and I have not been happy with how neglected the feature has been the past two decades. Even one DLC that has a huge emphasis on it is better than none at all. I'm not so happy that we have to beat the Teal Mask DLC first to do the second DLC, but the difficulty curve was much higher in the Crown Tundra, too. You needed to use exp candies and Dynamax Adventure-caught Pokemon to keep up and you were basically guaranteed to lose the tutorial battle of Crown Tundra if you were just starting out, though it didn't really matter. Anyway, reason being that I did the Teal Mask DLC on an alternate save with a new character to use the new customizations and I wasn't really intending to use them for the second DLC, at least not right away. I wanted to maybe use my main save in Scarlet and possibly look at customizations (but he's got orange/red hair to match his Scarlet uniform, so unlikely I'll change at all). Still annoyed we have to buy DLC twice if we want it in both versions. It's the same fucking game, let's stop kidding ourselves. It should be one purchase for both versions.
