[@theosophical5197]

I feel like Gamefreak's Creative genius is at its best when it comes to places that are different from the overworld Ultra Space, The Distortion world, and now this place I loved every bit of this area from the top to bottom, our allies sticking beside us while we encounter Paradox to Paradox to reach down to the bottom and to meet the professor. This place has the splendor of a Xenoblade Area and the synthy vibes of the Core from Undertale. When you're fighting every pokemon in this place it feels like you're fighting something out of place like, "Bisharp?! you aren't supposed to be down here, you need to be up there!" and when you encounter paradox, "You aren't from here, you don't belong in this time." Really the only thing I was disappointed about in this place is that there weren't any Tera raid dens and Tera Pokemon as far as I could see but it was still a spectacle to see this place!

[@eeveeofalltrades4780]

Well, I think the Terastal phenomenon only exists in Paldea, which basically says that Area 0 is *not* Paldea. And even if the crystals there are the ones that make Terastal possible, maybe the phenomenon is actually the effect the crystals have on the normal dimension, hence why it doesn't happen in Area 0 itself (unless you bring it from the surface)

[@andrewmahabir589]

terastalizing still happens in area 0 as it did to the ai and the time machine area. however it's way more primal and uncontrolled. I think something like the dens is only possible in the more controlled upper paldea where the crystals were refined but there could still be tera mons in area 0. maybe they'll add them later like paradox teras in dlc. I'm sure there will be dlc because there's already evidence of paradox legends.

[@eeveeofalltrades4780]

@@andrewmahabir589 the AI and time machine were likely made using materials from the surface, hence why they were affected

[@hanto1614]

Well the synthy vibes from the core in undertale does fit considering Toby fox helped compose this song

[@snakemaster254]

@@eeveeofalltrades4780 Actually the crystals originate from within the crater, and the time machine was built inside of the crystal at the bottom of Area Zero. So the crystals on the surface are probably just extensions of the crystal energy within the crater as you can find several random terastalized Pokémon and their dens on the surface world. And the tera orbs the players and other characters use are stated to be made from the crystals, and I think even developed by Sada as a result of her research within the crater.

[@notsoanonymouself]

I love how perfectly this music relates to it's theme. When I tried to explain it to a friend, all I could say was that it "sounded ethereal" and "It feels like a piece that sits outside of time itself". And it has this complexity to it that makes me feel several emotions at once. It's got energy, there's something wistful in there, and it's all around intangible to a specific theme besides what I described it earlier. This is the essence of "outside of time itself".

The bass gives me Splatoon Octo Expansion vibes. Absolutely love it. Just went shiny hunting for a dragon type yesterday and had one of the most tense times so far. I failed to find a dratini in an outbreak so I went to area zero for a potential Zweilous. Found one in the last minute but while trying to weaken it, my clodsire hit a critical liquidation which brought it to near red. Too, the Zweilous hit Clodsire with a body slam and poison point activated. 1:39 started to play and I had to throw a dusk ball or lose the shiny. Luckily, I got a critical capture. However, it still was too close to comfort.

this game blew my mind because area zero was actually BEAUTIFUL. like, the music playing in the background fits it so perfectly: a giant mystery hidden away from the rest of the world, housing strange and terrifying pokemon never seen before. yet it's a beautiful paradise, with waterfalls, caves, trees, and giant Terra crystals.

The first time I heard this I was blown away! I was already shocked at the spectacle of Area Zero, it felt like I was somewhere I didn’t belong. Breathtaking yet dangerous. When I encountered the first paradox I saw and THIS kicked in? Man I can’t put into words how phenomenal it was. I used to be on the “new pokemon bad” train but area zero made me realize gamefreak’s still got it

[@Himmelschenk]

The entire Paradox mons, setting, music and context are so otherwordly it still makes me refuse to believe any of it is real (in pokemon terms), it gives me the chills

Hands down to scarlet and violet to have one the best pokemon soundtrack

[@loboalcurry]

you are insane mate

[@m.arceles]

slow down

[@somebodyyoudontknow3980]

Has some good tracks but overall definitely not hands down

[@blue_the_boy_kisser]

Overall? I'd say that is a solid take

I will say…Scarlet and Violet has a lot of things in common with Sun and Moon. -The fact that they can be multiple of the box art legendaries. (Like in sword and shield, the protagonist receives a cosmog from the old lady in Freezeington that’ll evolve into either Solgaleo or Lunala depending on the game) and the fact that they are 2 Koraidons and 2 Miraidons. -The ruinous legends are similar to the tapus, both sets share a similar secondary typing (for the tapus fairy, and for the ruinous dark), both sets even having a signature move that halves your current health (Natures Madness for the Tapus, and Ruination for the ruins) -The paradox Pokemon give of a ultra beast vibe since we don’t know much of either, and both paradox Pokemon and ultra beast have abilities that are somewhat similar (ultra beasts having beast boost- every KO boosts the Pokémon’s highest stat, and the Paradox’s have either Protosynthesis or Quark Drive- boosting highest stat in either harsh sunlight or electric terrain) -rival that has a somewhat negative relationship with their parent (Gladion to lusamine and Arven to Sada/Turo) yet they still somewhat care. Those are just some similarities I found *that went on longer than I thought*

I am a bassplayer and i know full well that a computer played the bassline but MAN!!!! The bassline keeps me like 🤩😯🤩👐

[@stevenchoza6391]

A lot of the Area Zero music would feel right at home in a Mystery Dungeon game. What are you trying to tell us, Game Freak?

[@Dorox97]

Everything about area zero is amazing it feels like walking into a dystopian location full of dangerously strong Pokémon from the ancient past and the far future it goes to show that the tremendous power of the ancient past and the far future is not a power to be messed with.

[@SkuttIefish]

I love that slap bass so much it makes my heart feel so many things

[@NinjaPickle]

Area Zero is quite possibly the coolest place we've been to in a Pokemon game, rivaled only by the Distortion World from Platinum. The buildup, the lore, the crazy visuals, the atmosphere, everything feels like a whole different game compared to everything else in Scarlet and Violet and any Pokemon game in general. Cannot wait to see what the DLC holds!

[@mihaimercenarul7467]

Arwa zero îs garbage. Quit trying to praise this mediocre game

[@isaacrufino2997]

This battle song goes so hard 😩😩 I love it so much

[@The_Blyatman]

The alien nature of Area Zero honestly gives me such parallels to the Distortion World in Platinum. I can absolutely see Area Zero being how the Distortion World would be done if Platinum had been made today. Just imagine, instead of fighting the Professor at the bottom you get down there just to find Giratina waiting for you… terrifying stuff.

[@somedavidoguy_5629]

The only thing I wish was better about Area 0 was that I wanted more future/past Pokémon. That would have made it ten times better cuz rn there are mostly normal Pokémon with one or two paradox forms, but it’d be so sick if it was filled with many different paradox forms instead of like 5

Gives me Miitopia vibes when you are at the final boss level fighting the minions
