The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will officially launch on Thursday, December 14. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's post-launch support has included plenty of updates, special Pokemon distribution events, Tera Raid battles, and of course, paid DLC.

The first paid DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet was called The Teal Mask, made available this past September. The Teal Mask DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet gave fans of the open world Pokemon games the chance to explore a brand-new area and add never-before-seen Pokemon to their roster. The same will be true of The Indigo Disk when it launches on December 14, though fans still have yet to learn of the full roster in an official capacity.

Unfortunately, there will still be Pokemon missing from Scarlet and Violet even after The Indigo Disk DLC launches. Game Freak has made it clear that it has no plans on returning to a National Pokedex, meaning there will potentially never be another main series Pokemon game that lets players literally catch 'em all. Perhaps that will change in a future Pokemon installment, but fans shouldn't hold their breath.

The release of The Indigo Disk DLC in December will mean that Game Freak will likely turn its attention to its next major Pokemon project. The Generation 10 Pokemon games will most likely release for the Switch successor console, and it will be interesting to see how they address fan feedback from Scarlet and Violet, if at all.
