 Hello friends, welcome back to the channel with the Indigo Disc DLC part two for Scarlet and Violet dropping in less than 24 hours time. We're still in a bit of a conundrum where we still don't have an exact time for when these expansions of Scarlet and Violet are going to be going live. Official comms from Pokemon has always been that these games will drop on the 14th of December but when on the 14th exactly is something that we're all kind of scratching our heads at at the moment. Now the only reference points that we have are previous DLCs that have dropped and taking those as a reference point for when we may be able to expect the Indigo Disc. Of course it goes without saying any of the information in this video is just a rough estimate to give us a window with when we can maybe expect the Indigo Disc to drop. This can be totally wrong, things can be delayed so even outside of the estimates that we've given this video it may be after this time or it may even be before this time but we know a rough idea with when it will be dropping. It's just trying to work out when exactly that will be. Now we're going to start off by looking at the Pokemon home maintenance period. This was announced by Sarabee earlier this week. Pokemon home is to undergo maintenance starting at midnight UTC on the 14th of December through to 6am UTC on the 15th of December. So this is a long maintenance period. This is 36 hours in total. Vision 3.2.1 will release during this maintenance. So the update to 3.2.1 will release during this 36 hour period and I think it's such a long maintenance period this time around because of the issues that we saw when we had the Pokemon home update maintenance for the Teal Mask. Now that maintenance period only ran for six hours but there was players that had issues up to 24 hours and longer after that maintenance period where they still weren't able to access Pokemon home. So I think covering all bases here going forward with the Indigo Disc update they have extended this maintenance period to make sure that after this time everyone should be able to get into their accounts and then transfer Pokemon into Scarlet and Violet and also with the Indigo Disc it feels like a lot bigger DLC pack than the Teal Mask. There seems to be a lot more information to Pokemon home which indicates that it'll be a longer period anyway. Now the only reference point that we have are previous DLC updates and the last one that we had was for the Teal Mask. We look at the Teal Mask drops or the maintenance update for Pokemon home you can see it starts again at 9am in Japan time which translates across the board here or everywhere else in the world but the maintenance for home for the Indigo Disc is also starting at 9am. Now it was an hour after this maintenance period started when the Teal Mask was available so you would assume an hour after the maintenance starts this time around for the Indigo Disc that's when this part 2 DLC pack will be available for us to play of course this is just a rough estimate but at least with this reference point we have a better idea with maybe when we'll be able to play these games. Makio and J-Ros have kindly put together this really useful bit of information with all of maintenance period times for Pokemon home so we can have a look when they're starting different places around the world which I'm sure a lot of you will be able to reference. Got that 9am in Japan as when it is starting which translates to midnight UTC here in the UK over in the US and in Brazil that they're going to be accessing this maintenance period on the 13th so it's likely you'll be able to play the Indigo Disc slightly earlier but again these are just the maintenance periods for Pokemon home no indication with when the Indigo Disc and then following up on this Makio and J-Ros have kind of updated this post if we take the release times of the first DLC as a reference these should be the possible times for the release of the Indigo Disc has been said for the first DLC which was the Teal Mask that it would be released during the morning in Japan no other details were released this time so nothing we got nothing for the Indigo Disc if there is any news we will update you of course we'll do the same here on the channel yes we know Pokemon home maintenance starts at 9am in Japan we repeat these are just approximate times these are the times that Makio and J-Ros have estimated for when the Indigo Disc could potentially release and for us to be able to access in our games now they're estimating an hour before the home maintenance goes live so that would be 8am in Japan and then two hours after the maintenance goes live so given a good window of three hours for when the Indigo Disc can potentially drop in the different time zones around the world so for us in the UK here would be 11pm on the 13th of December going right through to 2am on the 14th so very early hours of the morning but you can see over Pacific time you're going to be 3pm till 6pm then Central be 6pm until 9pm Brazil you're going to have 8pm till 11pm and so on and so on as you can see with references here for potential expected times when the Indigo Disc can release I doubt it's going to be any earlier than 8am in Japan so it won't be any earlier than this I wouldn't have thought because the maintenance period is starting at 9am I would have assumed and put my bets on that it would be after 9am in Japan it might go live the maintenance might go live for Pokemon home at 9am and the Indigo Disc might drop at the exact same time but I would imagine it would probably be slightly different it would be a later time when the Indigo Disc goes live and that's why I probably hedged in my bets around that 10am time of Japan which would translate to about 1am UK time and then you can translate that to wherever you are based in the world when it goes live of course we'll be streaming it here on the channel will be going live a little bit earlier than these times so we are able to kind of catch it as soon as it does go live and then update our games and then access these new games there's going to be a lot of fun so if you are around do come by join us as we venture into the Blue Rear Academy and then back to Area Zero to finish up these stories with Scholar and Viola I cannot wait to do it but hopefully this video has been helpful we streamed earlier on today and this was a common question by a lot of people they were still kind of confused about when these times could be but rough estimates that Makio and Jiro's have put out are probably the best ones for us to go off although it could be a little bit later but expected to be maybe around this three hour window that they've kind of stated is the sweet spot so expected to be around then but like I say it could be wrong hopefully this is useful and hopefully we do see it happen and drop around these times we've talked about today but that is everything just a very quick update let me know when you think it will drop in game and thank you so much for tuning into today's video enjoy the DLC when it does eventually drop and of course if there is any further updates we'll drop them here on the channel as well so make sure you do hit that subscribe button if you've enjoyed today's video drop a like it does really help and I'll see you all in another video very soon so until then friends take care and bye bye
