It’s time to leap again into the world of Pokemon with The Teal Masks, the first of two expansions for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. However, one factor to bear in mind when buying this growth pack is that it’s not cross-compatible. This implies in case you personal Pokemon Scarlet and buy the DLC pack designed for Pokemon Violet, you’ll be out round $34.99 plus relevant taxes.

It would look like a foolish mistake to make when the eShop color-codes each variations of the DLC. Nevertheless it’s one which any of us might make if we’re not paying shut consideration. You might ask why and the way the DLC for Pokemon Violet is totally different from the DLC for Pokemon Scarlet, particularly in the event that they’re each referred to as The Hidden Treasure of Space Zero. The reply is … unique ‘mons.

Every model of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC include unique monsters to seize. Like the bottom recreation, you’ll should commerce with somebody who owns the other model to totally full your Kitakami pokedex. For those who’d wish to know the commerce codes for the unique Pokemon, Destructoid’s Bhernardo Viana has you coated.

What do you have to do in case you purchase the flawed model?

So, let’s discover an unlucky happenstance. What do you have to do in case you unintentionally purchased the flawed model of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC? Based on the eShop’s return coverage, they won’t concern refunds for “any digital merchandise together with digital video games, obtain content material (DLC), subscriptions, and obtain codes,” which … is fairly definitive.

However, in keeping with customers on reddit, Nintendo might permit every account one digital buy refund. For those who name the help line and clarify your scenario, they could make a one-time exception and refund your buy so you possibly can swap it out for the right model. It’s nonetheless to be decided if that is a type of age-old conditions born from these redditors’ uncles’ tenure at Nintendo, or if it’s a reputable coverage to permit one refund per account. I say it’s a minimum of value a shot.
