I reviewed the two DLCs separately, but I just wanted to touch on the epilogue here since that doesn't have its own Backloggd page. I loved the epilogue. It's the exact kind of story I'd love to see more of in Pokemon going forward. It's a silly little episodic adventure, centering around a Pokemon's particular abilities, where you and your friends get swept up and have to figure out a solution. It builds on the friendships you forged with the cast throughout the base game and the DLCs, and lets you see where all these characters are after their arcs are concluded. There's absolutely nothing like this in the entire franchise, and whereas I don't think it's anything super spectacular in a vacuum, it's super spectacular by Pokemon standards specifically, and it's got me feeling better about this series than I have in a long time.
