The Pok\u00e9mon Company International\u00a0and\u00a0Game Freak\u00a0have revealed The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero<\/strong> for Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Pok\u00e9mon Violet.<\/p>\n Promising to \u201ctake fans deeper into the world of Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet or Pok\u00e9mon Violet with two different adventures,\u201d this paid downloadable content will be broken down into Part 1: The Teal Mask, launching in Fall 2023, and Part 2: The Indigo Disk, releasing at a later date.<\/p>\n You will have the chance to leave the Paldea region. In Part 1: The Teal Mask, a school trip will take players to the land of Kitakami, where they will be joining an outdoors study program held jointly between their academy and another school. In Part 2: The Indigo Disk, players will be traveling to Blueberry Academy, a sister school of their own academy, as exchange students. While this tale is split into two parts, they link together to tell a connected story.\u200b<\/p>\n In Part 1: The Teal Mask, players will be chosen to take part in a school trip that is held each year in collaboration with another school. They\u2019ll be taken to the land of Kitakami, where a great mountain towers over the land and the people live at its base. It is a place of tranquil natural expanses, featuring rice paddies and apple orchards. The trip seems to coincide with a festival regularly held in the village in Kitakami during this season, so the village is bustling with various street vendors and stalls. Players will meet new friends and Pok\u00e9mon as they unravel the mysteries behind the folktales that have been passed down in this land.\u200b<\/p>\n In Part 1: The Teal Mask and Part 2: The Indigo Disk, players will be able to encounter over 230 familiar Pok\u00e9mon that have been found living in other regions but had not appeared in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Pok\u00e9mon Violet. This includes Pok\u00e9mon that players will be able to bring to their games via Pok\u00e9mon HOME or those received in trades.[3]\u200b Players will also encounter new Legendary Pok\u00e9mon \u2013 Ogerpon in Part 1: The Teal Mask, and Terapagos in Part 2: The Indigo Disk. In Part 1: The Teal Mask, three Pok\u00e9mon named Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti also appear. They are beloved by the people of the village as heroes that protected the land of Kitakami in the past and stone statues were made in their likeness to express the people\u2019s gratitude. \u200b<\/p>\n \u201cWe are so grateful that millions of Trainers around the world have chosen to explore the expansive Paldea region,\u201d explains The Pok\u00e9mon Company president and CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara. \u201cIn The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, fans will take a trip to the land of Kitakami where they will meet new Pok\u00e9mon and interesting characters. I sincerely hope that Trainers who embark on this new journey find the same excitement and joy they experienced when they encountered their first Pok\u00e9mon.\u201d<\/p>\n Those who purchase The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero downloadable content before Tuesday 31st October 2023 will receive a serial code for a special gift: a Hisuian Zoroark with three special features.
