I expected a bit more of this, but it was still nice. Really liked seeing the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra.
There were also some nice easter eggs:
- All three fully evolved starters appear. Rillaboom as a member of the Maximizers, Cinderace at the festival kicking firework in the air, and Inteleon as Nessa's Pokémon with her in a photo shoot (apparently it was for a blimp ad, as seen in the fireworks scene).
- During the scene with Klara, there are Max Mushrooms in the background.
- Opal has Mustard's rare league card. In the games, this card actually refers to Opal being defeated by Mustard for the title a long time ago.
- This one is kind of a spoiler, so if you haven't played The Crown Tundra yet, please ignore this one:
Sonia is looking at a report of Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion. In the Crown Tundra DLC, there is a sidequest you can activate where Sonia comes to the Crown Tundra to investigate these three Pokémon.- Zarude briefly appears as a silhouette in the far distance. Apparently it's in the Crown Tundra with a Tyrantrum and an Aurorus. No idea why though. It seems incredibly random, but nice nonetheless.
- Another spoiler:
Sordward and Shielbert are overlooking the tournament. If you win the Galarian Star Tournament 15 times, it is revealed that they are the financial sponsors of the tournament (and also participated unbeknownst to the player, but lost in the first round 15 times in a row. Poor guys).- Oleana is in the Galar Mine, where you can find her after you've beaten the game.
As a bonus little episode to acknowledge the DLC, it was very enjoyable.
We got to see a little of everyone, the animation looked really good and thankfully there were no major spoilers as I haven't played the DLC myself yet. I just wish it didn't end there though, what a cliffhanger!
I also did like that they didn't specify which MC was canon.
Another interesting tidbit about Gordie is that he's apparently living in the Hotel Ionia rather than with the rest of his family which could be seen as a reference to Melony's RLC.and Gordie is gussied up like in his RLC portrait.
"Melony wanted Gordie to take over as the Gym Leader of Circhester, while Gordie wanted to dedicate himself to Rock-type Pokémon. The Pokémon battle between the two ended up dividing the whole town. Ever since that day, Melony and Gordie hardly ever see each other."
Not John. It was either Gloria or Victor. I.e. us.Leon losing to John offscreen was hilarious
