 Hello friends, welcome back to the channel in today's video, even though we're late to the party, we're going to be going over all the brand new gameplay footage and information that came out from a bunch of content creators that got the opportunity to have about an hours play of the brand new DLC pack to the Indigo disc for Scarlet and Violet. So like we said in the intro, we had a bunch about an hours gameplay footage revealed by a lot of different creators this afternoon from US and from Europe as well, we had the opportunity to go to Pokemon and experience first hand, some gameplays and playing around with the Indigo disc, the DLC part 2 which is out in a little over 3 weeks time. Very exciting, of course there is a lot of information that was revealed in this trailer, nothing groundbreaking, but a lot of information in regards to the DLC itself, so we'll jump in, we'll take a look at the trailer and while we do it, we'll talk through all the information that was revealed. A lot of the information that we're going to be talking about is based in the terrarium, so it's located below the Blueberry Academy. And I think one of the things that Joe Cervigio mentioned was the different biomes here and then at the start of the DLC you get introduced to Zyrano and Lacy who talk about the possibility of terrasalization being a thing in the Blueberry Academy in the terrarium, It's normally just locked to pile there, but you can do it in the different biomes in the terrarium and also terror raids are available, if you just pause or just skip back a minute here we're going to be able to see our first evidence of a terror raid. And you can see up in the top right left hand corner here there is the kind of glistening up to the sky of a terror raid. Terror raids are going to be appearing here as well as the static wild terror Pokemon as well which you can see just behind to the left of the tree here so both indicators that they both things are going to be available in the terrarium which is really nice to see, but it's powered by the big globe on top of the Blueberry Academy but they don't know what it's made of so that's a little bit of I guess a hint that we'll find out throughout the story of this but confirming that terrasalization is going to be a thing. Terror raids are going to be there as well as the static wild terror Pokemon so there's the globe. I would say that's the globe that they may be referring to on top of the Blueberry Academy that kind of powers somehow the terrasalization within the facility so you can see the four biomes here. They've all been given names as well and they all have different attributes to each of them I think. So here we've got the polar biome, we've got the coastal biome, we've got the savannah biome and the last one is the canyon biome which is the one down to the bottom right hand corner here. So all four biomes like I say different attributes to each of them and you're going to get different Pokemon appearing in each one of them. We do get to see a few of the Pokemon that appear in different biomes as we go through the gameplay footage. It's quite exciting to see, we've got the smeargold here, you can see Vibrava and Trappinch in the background there which is kind of exciting to see that both of them, we knew they were coming to the games but to see them out in the wild is quite cool. Then we've got the polar terrain here, again we're going to get a clip of a terror raid in the distance here. I'm obsessed with terror raids and just wanting them to be in this area and we kind of know now and that's going to be one of the elite four battle facilities. I would imagine here because they're all on those kind of raised block platforms and I have no idea what the blocks are doing but they really segregate each part of different biomes. You've got Alolan Executor which is in the coastal biome which seems to be quite themed around Alola because you've got some other Alola Pokemon that are spotted here. We've got the Alolan Golem and I think Philly Beats in his review does talk about Alolan Grimer was something that he came across that is available. So hopefully the other Alolan Pokemon are going to be available within these different biomes whether or not it's all in the coastal biome or not are the other ones. But hopefully all the regional variant Pokemon that are available in the Indigo Disc are in this area. So this would be kind of cool dealing of course going to be in each of the biomes. I think Sarah B. Joe said and again there's another indicator that there's a terror raid in this area. So I'd imagine the terror raids are going to be kind of the Pokemon that are homed housed in these areas. So a lot like Paldeir, a lot like Kitakami. The Pokemon that are like residents of those areas are going to be what the terror raids are made up of and whether or not we'll be able to get Herbomistica from them is going to be interesting to see. Because these are the new Pokemon centers that are going to be unmanned and then you've got the vending machines which are going to give you like Pokeballs, essentials that you're going to get at the Pokemon. So you have potions and revives and all those sort of things. So these are going to be dotted around the biome so you're going to be able to utilize them throughout in these different buildings. And I think each biome is Pokemon center. Building-esque places are all going to be kind of different as well. So we do see another one in the Savannah biome in a moment. This is the kind of lessons that you're going to do throughout the story. I think this is one of the teachers that are at the Blueberry Academy and the big thing I think the takeaway from all of the previews from all the different content creators was that everything is going to be very competitive based. So all the battles that you're going to experience in the Blueberry Academy, in the Terrarium, all the Elite Four Battles and things like that are all going to be double battles. And there's going to be common strategies, common double battle strategies used within the Elite Four members and some of the more tougher trainers that you come across. So things like Trick Room and kind of Tailwind, things like taking advantage of terrains with seeds and stuff like that. So it's going to be really interesting. And on that point as well, it might be worth me putting out a video. I'm obviously quite entrenched in VG being a caster and a player. So if you would like to see a video put together of some strategies that might help you when you're putting your team together to go into the Indigo Disc, let me know down in the comment section below. I'm happy to put something together for all of you if it would be helpful in regards to that. But the other thing that Joe mentioned I found really interesting was the dropped items like the glistening items like that, that you can pick up around the area, picked up a rock terashod. So a glistening object, one of them that give him 18 rock terashods. So it might be a lot easier to get terashods in the Terrarium as well, which is really good for competitive players and just building in general. This is where you kind of have to use your Battle Points. So Battle Points BP is not something that we've had access to in Scholar and Violet so far. We've got League Points, of course, and then Poker Dollars, but we haven't got Battle Points and I'm just going to point to this as well. So Battle Points be a new feature. Battle Points are normally related to like battle factories and kind of battle facilities in Pokemon games. So it's kind of encouraging that we might be getting a feature like that at the end of the Blue Rear Academy. When we finish this part of the story, it might unlock something where we can go in and challenge whatever, a lot of different trainers and things like that, which would be quite good. So here, this is interesting. If you look at the scroll bar to the side, look how small that is, meaning this is how many items this vending machine will have. Now it only goes down to I think the Heel Balls here. The Ultra Ball, Heel Ball, yeah. So you can see how many more items there are going to be in this vending machine. In my kind of take on it, I would say because it's so based around competitive Pokemon, VG, double battles, I would say there'll be a lot of battle items in here that you're going to be able to pick up. Maybe vitamins, maybe feathers, bottle caps, old bottle caps, maybe, I don't know. You never know. Might even go as far as to say apricorn balls could be picked up in these vending machines. That would be pretty cool, right? All things I think that would be centered around competitive Pokemon. I imagine you're going to be able to pick up from these vending machines. It could be wrong, but I'm kind of wishful thinking here. But it's just that is a long list of items for what you would normally get at a Pokemon art. It seems a lot longer than a regular Pokemon item list, but we'll see. And these are dotted around to hold the different biomes. So the different biomes might have different items available. But like I say, with going back to the Elite Four battle here, you have to pay battle points to take on the Elite Four leader. In this case, then you have to do a trial, which I think the trial is the flying trial in this one, which is pretty interesting because I think Joe got given different footage to what Philly got given, because Philly was playing on Scarlet and Joe's playing on Violet. The thing here is with Joe, when he's about to go into the fly trial, you don't see any animations about how his Mariahdon given access to this flying mechanic. But if you go and watch Philly's video, there is an animation. There is a scene where the Corridon is given something to eat. It's eating something and then it has the same animation that you would see in the Titan. Battles after you beat a Titan Pokemon with Arvin. Arvin makes a sandwich out of the Herba Mystica. Then you give a bit of that to your ride Pokemon and then it has that animation where it learns the new ride move. It's that exact same animation. So it's a bit weird. Like, is that new mechanic that you'll get given for this new side quest, this new minigame? Is that going to be permanent because you've been fed or you've given your ride Pokemon Herba Mystica? So whether or not that is a permanent feature is just for this mini quest. I just found it a little bit interesting that it was the same animation for unlocking new ride mechanics on your ride Pokemon. But check Philly's video out, you'll see what I mean. So you can see here, this is the time trial going in and it looks like you just have to fly through the hoops. They're powered by magnemites as well, which is pretty cool. And it looks like a time trial that you have to complete in a certain time or you have to just complete the course. And then once you've done that, you do get to then battle Emery's, which is meant to be a pretty tough battle. None of the battle scenes were shown from this particular Elite Four battle. But she does have six Pokemon and they're not all of the same type. And she uses some pretty interesting double strategies as well. So even the Elite Four battles like we mentioned before are all going to be double battles. So it's all very centered around double strategies, which is exciting because, you know, it might not be exciting for everyone. I understand that. But as a VG player myself and having so much love for competitive scene in VG, I just feel like this is like what we've all been waiting for for a long time. So I'm very excited to go into it. I want to build a really cool VG team to take in to be able to kind of battle these four members and the other trainers around the region. I think it's going to be really good. So you can see this is where you go to the location to do the fly mechanics. There's other trainers there that are kind of waiting or have done the flying trial. So it might be something that you can do after the gym battle or the Elite Four battle as well to unlock other features in the game and get other rewards. So it could be a little bit like Augusting, but without the need of having to do with other players. So you might be able to do it solo by yourself in game, which would be a nice change. But there might be more rewards that you can do later on after the Elite Four have been vanquished and stuff like that. Like I say, we don't get to see the gym battle. There's just some promo material here. And then then this this little flick scene here to rage and bolt. And then I will mention rage and bolt nine crown because it's interesting what Philly says in his information in his video where he goes on to talk about the fact that although he's not allowed to go back to pal there. They do talk about rage and bolt and iron crown who are both shown this is in area zero. So we know for a fact that probably both of the paradox Pokemon and the two remaining legendary paradox Pokemon will hopefully be catchable in area zero, which is really good news because I don't know if a lot of you were under the impression that it might be another terror event, which in my opinion would be the worst idea ever. If we had a repeat of the walking wake and iron leaves, just let us catch them in an area zero. That's what I think. So that kind of gives us a lot of hope, I think, going forward. You also mentioned as well a lot of new TMs are available as you'd imagine. We've got a lot of new TMs unlocked in Kitakami. Same goes for the Indigo Disc as well. So I think things like expanding forces, one of the big ones, scorching sand, breaking swipers coming back. So yeah, there's a lot of TMs coming back. He's got a full list of them in his preview that you can go across the survey and kind of read. But that is about all the information that we got. So some exciting new information. Of course, no new Pokemon kind of confirmed in this, but you kind of weren't expecting any new Pokemon to be revealed in this. Hopefully we do get a trailer very soon, which will give us even more information and maybe a glimpse. It's some new Pokemon that might be in Indigo Disc or at least some hints to what the story is looking like. But we did get some good information. Obviously the Terrarium. We've got the confirmation of Terrarium. Static Terrarium Pokemon. Terrasalization is a thing there, which we kind of knew from previous trailers where Pokemon did terrasalize. We've got the kind of glimpse at the 19th Terotype. No one got any information on that. Of course, I think that's going to be in probably the battle with Thrapagus is going to be where we find out that 19th Terotype or 19th type that we're going to see the other things. Obviously the mystery behind the dome on top of the Blueberry Academy powering this Terrarium. That's kind of like we need to find out about that. That's kind of exciting. Lots to look forward to. Lots of mystery still about like the start of Pokemon and things like that. The early indications of this game, it looks a lot of fun. The area as well. The Terrarium said to be a lot bigger than Ketokami map. So it looks like there's a lot to explore. There's a lot of Pokemon to go out and capture. And there's a lot of things that we can do to kind of keep ourselves busy after the DLC drops. And we've complete the story. It looks like there's a lot to go back to and kind of complete in the post game of the Indigo disc, which is very, very exciting. And lots of like little quality of life updates as well that I think are going to be nice, especially if there is a lot of more items accessible, easily available in those vending machines. That would be great, right? Of course, all the dropped items as well. But let me know down in the comments section what your favourite things were from all the information that was dropped today. It would be great to hear and obviously getting Raging Ball and Iron Crown and then the other two legendary paradox potentially catchable in Area Zero is very exciting for me. But I just can't wait to play these games. Like I say, a little over three weeks until they drop very exciting. That is it. Thanks for tuning in, friends. Thanks for getting this far in the video.
