The first paid DLC for Pokemon Legends: Z-A arrives on December 10, which is
a mere seven weeks after the game originally hit store shelves. Mega
Dimension costs $30, which might pour more gasoline on the "Nintendo charges
too much" fire. However, there's plenty of neat stuff coming with this update
for Switch and Switch 2.

First of all, there's a sizable post-game story. The current title isn't
completely devoid of post-game content, but doesn't have much by way of
story. This will be a good way to get back in touch with the various denizens
of Lumiose City. Speaking of, the trailer shows an iconic character or two
returning from Pokémon X and Y who were missing from Z-A.

The story looks to involve travel to an alternate dimension of some kind,
thanks to the legendary Pokémon Hoopa. This means that players will traverse
a different version of Lumiose City, complete with plenty of new Pokémon to
catch. These include creatures that aren't actually native to the region,
including standouts like Baxcalibur and Corviknight.

Pokémon will also be able to beef up past level 100 in the DLC, giving
players another reason to grind beyond shiny hunting. We don't know if the
interdimensional Lumiose City will include new collectibles, like an updated
batch of hidden Colorful Screws. I sure hope so. I love parkouring around the
city.

This isn't the only DLC available for the game. Game Freak actually just
dropped a little free update with a new sidequest. Use the game's Mystery
Gift function to unlock it.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A is legitimately a fun game, despite what folks on the
internet want you to think. They aren't completely in the wrong. It can be
buggy. The graphics don't exactly scream "AAA title in 2025" and the tutorial
section is pretty annoying. The city could use a bit more life and the map
can be confusing. It's still super fun, even if Wild Zone 17 will likely
haunt my dreams for years to come.
