Ogrepon Ogrepon Ogrepon, the worlds beloved Ogrepon. Put a hat on that thing and watch it go. Drop kick your foes and deliver them unto justice, all with that golden smile.
This dlc is very, very good. Any chance to play more Scarlet is something I would leap at regardless, but I am very glad it seems to be going in a great direction despite my hesitations. I was very worried watching the Directs that The Teal Mask would lose the fantastic character direction that made Scarlet so remarkable, but Im very happy to say I was completely wrong (except you, Briar. What are you wearing.)
I absolutely love the new additions to the cast. Carmine and Kieran are so charismatic and I just could not get enough of their development and interactions. I was particularly impressed with their aim depicting the older sister, younger brother relationship the two have. It was done very, very well in a way that I dont think Ive seen in a video game before. Yet again I found myself taken aback by just how good the character writing was, even though the Pokemon team never have enough time on their hands I was still impressed with the absolute care they put into every little detail depicting their cast and the Pokemon surrounding them. Little things, like Kieran's very accurate nervous swaying and the reactions you would get fighting alongside Carmine all made the world feel so real. There is so much life in the game despite its limitations, especially when it comes to the Pokemon who are endlessly charming and alive. Even for only the first half of the dlc, I was very satisfied just being there.
The Kitakami region, visually, is very pretty to me and looks a bit above the base game. It probably helped that it was smaller, but it does look noticably improved from the looping rock wall textures of Paldea. I had a good time exploring, but I wish it was a bit easier to get around on foot... and I wish there werent so many items everywhere. Why are there so many items everywhere? But, more importantly, I really enjoyed the new outfits and quality of life improvements. The selfie stick is real useful and I love the new customization options that are avaliable to you. I had a good time traversing the world with my Meowscarada and desperately trying to get her to take a look at me for a photo.
All in all i think the next dlc will probably be just as good, if not better, and even if 35 dollars is very very steep I would still recommend it to anyone who really adores SV like I do. It does not disappoint.
This is NOT good-bye, OK? We're definitley gonna see each other again!

I know...
I'm honestly really positvely surprised at the good reception of the DLC, not because I was expecting it yo be bad, it's just that the trailers never really sold me on them and seemed like more of the same without much intrigue, but honestly? I might play them in the future, this seems like a very enjoyable add on to the original game.
Great write-up! Also, I originally didn't care for Ogrepon, but after seing more about it, I've understood the error in my ways...

@DeemonAndGames yeah i was also put off by thr character design and the general presentation but again it overtook my expectations and was very fun to play through. Maybe wait for the disk dlc to release but yeah its very fun. And thank you (-:
