Genuinely a nice, cozy Zelda game. Loved sailing around the Great Sea and just exploring the world. Didn't think I'd go for all of the Heart Pieces and Treasure Charts either, but I did and it was awesome. All in all, great game.

This review contains spoilers

To me it looks like GF decided to put everything onto this portion of the DLC, and it shows. All of the previous starters returning, expanded customization with the League Club through BP and (when they become available to you), updated rematch teams for all of the Gym Leaders, Paldean Elite Four, your Teachers, Geeta, Clavell, and your main group of friends from the base game. Also I enjoyed the main battling style of this DLC being doubles instead of singles, something about it just clicks well in general. It pairs nicely with the fact that this portion of the DLC is centered around competitive play more than casual play, and it shows in the AI teams being of a higher level and being somewhat competent as well (ex: the BBE4 using Pokemon that benefit an overall strategy rather than just their specialty type, like Amarys with her Reuniclus for Trick Room or Crispin with his Exeggutor for a sun strategy.). I love that this DLC forces people to strategize a bit more with their teambuilding and simply not just throw a level 100 Pokemon at the problem since you can and will get your shit rocked if you're not careful. I'll also mention that I somewhat enjoyed all of the Unova references scattered in this DLC, from obvious things like the music to the smaller references like Lacey being Clay's daughter. With that said though, I think the one thing I didn't really like was the last fights with Terapagos. Everything about it just felt very rushed and underutilized with very little resolution. Overall, loved the DLC for the more competitive aspect to it, but felt that the ending was a tad rushed and underwhelming.

As much as I like the aesthetic of Kitakami, there really isn't a lot to do here. I think Ogerpon and the Loyal Three are neat, and I enjoyed some of the references to specifically Legends, but that's about it really. I think while Carmine and Kieran are decent characters, I also found myself not really caring too much about them (which sucks since both DLC stories practically REVOLVE around them.). All in all, good setup for Indigo Disk but nothing too groundbreaking.
