Summary
APokemon Scarlet & Violetplayer has discovered that the seemingly inconsequential questions asked during the endgame events have a nice little easter egg tied to them. Just like the previous games, there is a ton ofpostgame content inPokemon Scarlet & Violet, including an opportunity to take part in the challenging Academy Ace tournament.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violetis filled with several easter eggs, with one of the most notable ones being an area in the Terrarium’s coastal biome which is reminiscent of the iconic Nature Preserve location inBlack & White 2. While throwbacks to previousPokemongames were pleasant yet expected, what took fans by surprise wasPokemon Scarlet & Violet’sLion Kingreference. In the Savannah Biome, there is not only a meticulously crafted replica of the Pride Rock but a male Pyroar can also be found roaring on top of it, evoking the iconic image of Simba from the classic movie. Fans have now discovered yet another easter egg in the game, adding to the game’s list of surprises.
After players complete the main game, Geeta, the chairwoman of the Pokemon League, asks the player to battle allPokemon Scarlet & Violetgym leadersonce again to evaluate their strength. Upon completing that, Geeta will ask the players a series of questions, the most notable of them being who their favorite gym leader was. While till now it was considered filler content by many in the community, Redditor thadzdingo has discovered that the player’s choice of their favorite gym leader has an impact later on in theIndigo DiskDLC’s postgame. Depending on the choice players make, they will get an extra dialogue option with their favorite gym leader.
To trigger this, players will first need to beat the DLC’s main campaign, which involves beating theIndigo DiskBB League Elite Fourand Kieran. After that, players will get the option to invite special coaches to the Blueberry Academy through the League Club. These special coaches include all the gym leaders, Elite Four members, and a few others. Upon inviting their favorite gym leader, they will be able to interact with them and the coach will express their opinion on being the chosen one.
What’s interesting to note is the diverse reactions the gym leaders have, with Larry, to no surprise, having one of the most interesting dialogues. He expresses his astonishment at being chosen as the favorite, asking the players to reconsider their preferences. Others are much more enthusiastic about it, with the likes of Ryme and Iono being two of the most expressive ones. This new revelation has also sparked a debate in the community as to who the correct choice should be, with Larry enjoying a massive fan following for his humble attitude. While this doesn’t add much replayability value toPokemon Scarlet & Violetas such, it is still quite a nice addition to have as players witness their favorite gym leaders reacting to their preferences.
