The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has the opportunity to set a new precedent for expansions for the Pokemon series going forward. While Gen 8's Pokemon Sword and Shield were the first games in the series to opt for DLC rather than an enhanced version of the base games, the way those entries handled their expansions left a lot to be desired. One of the major issues was the lack of a meaningful reward for finishing the DLC Pokedex, an aspect the DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet can easily remedy.
