Pokemon Scarlet and Violet s Indigo Disk is the Grim Reaper to the Wrong Evolutionary Lines
The release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC is just around the corner, and it appears that the game is making some controversial choices in terms of the species included.
The upcoming Indigo Disk DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is approaching, and although its status as the final expansion for the Gen 9 games is not officially confirmed, it seems to be concluding the storyline that began with the base games and The Teal Mask. This DLC breaks from tradition by allowing players to capture every first-partner Pokemon from previous games in the various biomes of the Blueberry Academy. While this change is generally seen as a positive step, it does bring about certain concerns. Since the release of Pokemon Gen 8 games, National Dex issues have persisted, and now, with the arrival of Gen 9’s second DLC, some evolutionary lines are once again facing exclusion.

The Indigo Disk for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is tasked with making decisions on which evolutionary lines will not make it into the Gen 9 games—unless more expansions are introduced. This decision aligns with the current direction of the series, but there are datamines, rumors, and leaks suggesting that the second expansion for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet may omit some creatures not yet featured in Switch games. Strangely, other Pokemon that could have been subject to removal are retained.
Reasons Game Freak Should Have Chosen Different Pokemon for The Indigo Disk
Pokemon That Won’t Appear in Gen 9 After The Indigo Disk According to datamines, The Indigo Disk’s Blueberry Academy will introduce several new and returning Pokemon, but certain creatures that have never appeared in Switch games have been excluded. Considering the potential release of the Switch 2 console next year and the likelihood of only Gen 5 remakes coming to the Switch, these Pokemon should have been included in The Indigo Disk. Based on datamined information, the following pocket monsters are expected to be absent from Gen 9’s second DLC:

- Furfrou

- Panpour
- Simipour
- Patrat
- Watchog
- Minior
Pokemon That Could Have Been Omitted From The Indigo Disk Conversely, there are several Pokemon either officially confirmed or rumored to return with The Indigo Disk, whether through datamining or insider sources. Notably, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s DLC will include Incineroar and Smeargle, both of which have posed challenges in competitive battles, especially Incineroar, which dominated the Gen 8 meta. Incineroar’s access to the powerful Intimidate Ability, combined with moves like Parting Shot, makes it a formidable force with limited counterplay. Similarly, Smeargle’s ability to learn any move in the game creates disruptive scenarios.

Other Pokemon, such as Whimsicott, known for being one of the best Tailwind users, and Venusaur, widely used in Gen 8, are set to make a return. Metagross, another polarizing creature, is also retained. With the inclusion of every past starter, the omission of certain Pokemon in Gen 9 feels unfair, and The Indigo Disk for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet could have been an opportune moment to alter this narrative.
