All of Pokemon’s DLC ranked, from best to worst
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Believe it or not, things used to be much worse from Pokemon fans. You’d buy a copy of Pokemon Diamond or Pearl, only for Platinum to come out at full price later on. Not only did you have to spend $40 all over again, but you had to play the entire game over again. That warrants the incredibly tedious process of trading over all your Pokemon, one-by-one. And while many of the third version titles are the definitive versions of their respective regions – Emerald, Platinum, and Black 2 and White 2 – it never feels good having to restart your adventure from scratch. Thankfully, it seems this trend is just about over and done with. Since 2019, Pokemon has opted to develop and release DLC for its main series titles instead. With this system, you can continue your adventure in a new sub-region without having to start over. And today, we’re ranking every single Pokemon DLC to see which one comes out on top.

Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition was announced and released this week, and while it’s great to see the franchise return, it’s receiving a somewhat mixed reaction – in part due to a change in music.
One of the more iconic elements of the original Rayman was its soundtrack. Some of the music is still retained here, but notable swaps were made in certain areas. There are flat out replacements as well as new arrangements.

Eden, Citron, Kenji-NX, and MeloNX are all affected. Even projects like Sudachi and Skyline, which are no longer active, were hit with DMCA notices as well. While repositories are still online, that likely won’t be the case soon.
