If Pokémon Scarlet and Violet gets DLC, what do you think it would be about?

    Will it be similar to Sword and Shield where we got two expansions?

    What do you think? What do you hope for?

    I think they're going to add the Pokémon Legends: Arceus' evolutions. I haven't played that game but I think the time machine concept appearing in Scarlet at least is already suggesting this.
     
    Probably two again, for two reasons.
    1. Set the precedent last time. Must deliver out of expectation.
    2. Re-introduces a good chunk of Pokemon, most likely. Seems difficult to cram in 250ish Pokemon into a small area.

    Would not be surprised to see something surrounding time travel. Justified legendaries with Ultra Wormholes and time travel before. Why not again? Bets on more Paradox Pokemon, if nothing else.

    Could see a journey to islands near Portugal and Spain also. Keeps the amount loaded in lower with separate island maps.

    Hopes for multiple clothing options besides the uniform. Should include a Battle Tower somewhere in the region. Beyond that, a few more useful Tera Raid partners? Flapple with Grav Apple, Grimmsnarl with screens and Spirit Break, Espathra with Lumina Crash, something with Life Dew (just one), Centiskorch with Fire Lash, something with Acid Spray, and so on. Also needs to learn not to spam status moves on the Tera shield.

    Excludes things like bug fixes. Requests those before the DLC.
     
    Please expand on Geeta - she seems like she'd have made an excellent villain, antihero, or something of the sort. She looks like someone who may have a connection with Area Zero to me, especially since she has Glimmora which can only be found there (when evolved). I know it's possible she got it unevolved but I love the idea of her being more than what she appears and having experienced Area Zero herself at some point.

    Also yes we need an expansion on all the unanswered questions re: the info in the Scarlet/Violet Book. And can I get an explanation about the paradoxes?! Are they actually being brought over from the past/future or being '3D printed' by the so-called 'time machine'? Even Arven acknowledges things make no sense how they are. I swear if they never answer and leave this to our imaginations it's going to drive me bonkers lol.
     
    They gave us Galarian forms for the Kanto birbs in Crown Tundra.
    I'm hoping they'll give use Paldean forms for the legendary beasts =3

    Also I hope they won't restrict themselves to solely new legendary Pokemon like they did last time. A couple new non-legendary mons would be nice or even some more regional forms coming in through DLC like the Galarian Slowpoke line. There are only 2 Paldean forms after all.
    I hope they don't add even more Paradox Pokemon. They've already made more than enough. We don't need more new Pokedex slots wasted on these things.
     
    There is a possible small hint from a Backpacker (Who generally give hints toward future updates) that mentioned if he could cross the sea, he could be on a sandy beach.

    My guess is this - We will have some sort of island chain whether it is the Canary Islands or Balearic Islands both archipelagos belong to Spain. This could be like a field trip or something for the school. There is also Morocco that they could use which is only 12 miles away from the south portion of Spain. However they could save that for a North African Region in a later game.

    And finally South Kalos. And no not full Kalos. Just the part of France we never got that connects Spain and France. That is a very large stretch of land and it could be called something else. Not to mention the north eastern part is crossed out like Area Zero. It doesn't have to bring Kalos back. Doesn't have to bring Mega Evo back, but it is very obvious the two are very much connected given there area so many Kalos pokemon in north Paldea.

    It is possible we will have three DLC, one for each of our companions. One could continue the idea of Titan Pokemon in another location which could link to Kalos and Infinity Energy that has been so prominent since XY. Which could continue the main Paradox Theme as well with Arveyn.

    Another could be vacation focused on Penny and possibly could bring in a new Eeveelution. Penny would need a completely new story given we largely wrapped it up in SV. Maybe something to make her more likeable or related to a sector of Team Star who refused to back down and moved to a set of islands and is causing trouble. (Similar to the Bike Gang in Sevi Isles)

    There could also be one with Nemona which links to Greeta and expanding on her a lot more given the three area linked together by battling. Not sure what else would be included in this.

    Idk I feel like the story itself is already ended, so I see no future with that, despite I would have loved that. However, I'd expect more paradox pokemon as they're not a lot. Now, this actually opens up to the possibility of the reprehension of the story. I'd be disappointed if they just added more paradoxes in Area 0, so the workaround could be introducing another Area 0 maybe in a remote Island or something. I kinda agree with whom mentioned that one of the expansions will be an Island, in fact SV kinda lacked water exploration. Same was with SWSH and they added Armor Island, so yeah it can be something similar.
    However, going back to another Area 0, I'd be pretty disappointed as well, because the biggest fashion of that place was that it was a secure and sacred garden where nobody was meant to get in. Seeing a similar place means that Area 0 looses big part of its uniqueness.
    I think that DLC will mainly be centred on Legendary pokemon and how they can be introduced in gen 9, exactly like they did in SWSH.
    And yeah, I think it's gonna be 2 expansions, like the older DLC.
     
    If I had to guess, we're getting "Past Paldea" DLC at some point to justify bringing Hisuian forms into modern Pokémon. This would track with the PLA easter eggs in the history class.

    I also think that we'll probably get a "field trip" DLC? The entire setup of the game just screams for this kind of DLC. If I had to guess, either a chunk of Kalos, Spanish islands or some other nearby countries like Portugal (or even Galar, I guess. Wasn't Penny a transfer student in Galar for a while?)
     
    We're definitely going to that currently inaccessible area in the northeast of Paldea.

    What the DLC will be about, it could be anything, though like Janna I think one possibility is that it'll be about the other stuff in the Violet/Scarlet book. Would be weird to bring all that up and even bother to include an only partially readable page and not go into it further.

    Battle Tower is likely to be in the DLC imo. As much as they tend to cut things and give bullshit reasons to explain why in order to veil the fact that it's just because they don't have the time to include it, the Battle Tower has been a consistent thing, even after ORAS not having the Battle Frontier. Like really the DLC is going to be content that was supposed to be/should've been included in the game but wasn't because the game was rushed.
