What Can Fans Expect From This Adventure?
Area Zero Is an Iconic Location in the Video Games
Introduced in the Scarlet and Violet versions of thePokémonvideo game, Area Zero is a location where the past, present, and future coexist. This place, found in the middle of Paldea’s crater, has the unique quality of housing Pokémon from all periods.The creatures from the Scarlet editionare said to be from a time before humans ruled Earth, while Violet’s come from a future so distant it is hard to imagine. Nonetheless, these Pokémon did not arrive in the world of the series because of a temporal rupture, as they come from completely different universes.
Seeing as Liko and her friends are about to begin their first trip to this unknown and dangerous location, the fans will likely learn more about Area Zero as the heroes do. Their trip will introduce some of the best-designed and beloved Pokémon of recent years, while also giving the protagonists a chance to grow as trainers. The possibility of them capturing a paradox form cannot be discarded, giving their teams a boost in power and ability. This upcoming arc promises to bring with it a plethora of memorable moments and much learning for the heroes and fans alike.
