Last One to Post Wins! v4

I'd do Teal Mask. I like teal, and I love my bonk girl, Ogerpon. I also like the overworld theme, Okidogi, the fact that there's actually good story, and the beauty. I also like the Crystal Pool, and could totally see myself hanging around there a lot

Honestly, I didn't like the Teal Mask? I thought it was okay but pretty underwhelming overall, and I didn't enjoy the story much. Maybe I'm a bit harsher on it because it was the first DLC for the game but Kitakami felt fairly empty, I didn't enjoy Kieran very much, it didn't feel like there was much to do gameplay-wise besides a few trainer battles every so often. Ogerpon itself is great and I loved the boss battle against it at the end, but I view those more as redeeming qualities rather than the cherry on top.
With Indigo Disk, I enjoyed the story and characters more, there was a bigger variety in new Pokemon, BBQs gave me something extra to do, I found the battles to be a really nice level of challenge, and I overall felt like it was more fulfilling of an experience. I'd very quickly and easily pick Indigo Disk over Teal Mask.
 
I also feel The Indigo DIsk to be better than The Teal Mask...

But my opinion revolves around the Pokemon available in those two DLCs.




The selection of Pokemon for Indigo Disk far outweighs the one available in Teal Mask. Gen-III starters are best in terms of utility, we also got HGSS covers, SM covers, BW covers there, whereas these all are missing there.

Archaludon is terrific, having the typing of Dialga, and some big bulk, which is nice.
Gouging Fire is fun, Raging Bolt is fun.



Whereas, the one which are there in Teal Mask have bad designs as well; Ogerpon looks weird and to me it felt that Wormadam like type variations under specific scenarios, but with control in our hands.
 
They're pretty much just more open world catch a thons that are mostly 'story' with next to nothing else to do tbh.

Story wise neither were great imo. Teal Mask was above average for Pokemon standards, but that's it. They've still got a ways to go for an actually good story.
The 'story' in Pokemon has no replay value at all to me due to how mediocre it always is =\


I did like exploring Indigo Disk simply because the area felt more unique, whereas Kitakami just felt too samey to Paldea and felt like 'more Paldea' to me.
 
I loved the ending to the final chapter in the main SV story, that was epic. Great music and all around awesome concept. But otherwise I agree - the stories in the series can be good, but they are hardly ever great really. So much potential though with how well they executed Sada/Turo in the end.
 
So is Lavender soon going to learn how to drive and make the roads just a bit more unsafe? =D

Spoiler:
 
It just takes a lot of practise, and the right driving teacher(s)- probably not your parents. My Dad was picking at every little thing and getting extremely annoying to the point where I just stopped the car in the middle of the road and parked it. Seriously- unless your parent(s) are really easy-going and aren't going to be going after every little thing, it's probably best to get a real driving teacher. The one I finally got was definitely the best teacher I could have found- a friend of my Mum's from church.

Regarding The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk, it bothered me somewhat that we didn't get that many new Pokémon- just a few new ones and all the rest were from previous games. With the extended content in Sword and Shield we got a lot more, and the stories were much better.
 
hmmm... :unsure:
SwSh DLC new Pokemon: Kubfu/Urshifu, Zarude, Regieleki, Regidrago, Glastrier, Spectrier, Calyrex (8 new Pokemon).
SV DLC new Pokemon: Dipplin, Poltchageist/Sinistcha, Okidogi, Munkidori, Fezandipiti, Ogerpon, Archaludon, Hydrapple, Gouging Fire, Raging Bolt, Iron Boulder, Iron Crown, Terapagos, Pecharunt (15 new Pokemon + potentially Walking Wake/Iron Leaves, not sure when exactly they got implemented).

I do personally prefer the Crown Tundra over either SV DLC, but they did definitely add more new Pokemon in SV.
