Global sales of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet for Nintendo Switch family consoles they passed the 10 million total units after only three days of the worldwide release (on November 18, 2022), a number never achieved by any other Nintendo platform game in the same period. The treasure of Area Zero will allow players to further explore the world of Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet with two new adventures. Tsunekazu Ishihara, President and CEO of The Pokémon Company, said: “We are very grateful that millions of Trainers around the world have chosen to explore the vast Paldea region. In The Treasure of Area Zero, they will go on a trip to Nordivia, where they will meet new Pokémon and interesting characters. My wish is that this new adventure will make Trainers feel the same emotion and happiness as when they met their first Pokémon“.
Players can use existing save data from Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet and continue their adventure in The Treasure of Area Zero. The story of this downloadable content will be set outside the confines of the Paldea region, where the adventures of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet take place. In Part I: The Turquoise Mask, players will visit Nordivia on a school trip, where they will have the opportunity to join an outdoor study project organized jointly between their academy and another institution. In Part II: The Indigo Disc, an exchange student takes them to the Blueberry Institute, a sister school to their academy. It will therefore be a story made up of two distinct parts, but connected by a single story.
In Part I: The Turquoise Mask and Part II: The Indigo Disc, it will be possible to encounter more than 230 Pokémon discovered in other regions that did not appear in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. The total includes Pokémon that players will be able to transfer to their copy of the game via Pokémon HOME or that they will be able to receive through trade. There will also be new Legendary Pokémon: Ogerpon will appear in Part I: The Turquoise Mask, while Terapagos will appear in Part II: The Indigo Disc. In Part I: The Turquoise Mask, three Pokémon named Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti will also appear. The villagers venerate these three Pokémon as heroes for protecting Nordivia in the past, even erecting stone statues of them as a gesture of gratitude.
