Hello everyone! Finally, this weekend! The additional DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will be released! I'm so excited!! This is Saori from Otaku Republic!

Hello everyone~. Speaking of which, this news is a hot topic in Japan. I'm Boss from Otaku Republic, and the fact that Saori is looking forward to it this much gives me a feeling that it's going to be quite interesting.

Exactly! While giving a brief overview of the special episode, I also want to introduce that news which was a hot topic in Japan during the New Year!

【Pokémon】 Finally, the Special Episode Starts Broadcasting This Weekend! Venture to Kitakami with Nemona, Arven, and Penny!

The stage is set once again in Kitakami!
If you've cleared the already released DLC, you can take Nemona, Arven, and Penny to the setting of the DLC!

To put it very simply, DLC was released for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and now you can take characters you became friends with in the main game to the setting of that DLC!

In the main story, the theme is attending school, but now you can visit the rural town you went to for extracurricular activities with the characters you befriended at school, right?

That's right! It's a town far from the school, resembling the classic rural landscape of Japan! It was a real shock when Nemona, Arven, and Penny didn't join us for the DLC release...... but to think they'll join us in this special episode! It's a story that many Pokémon Scarlet and Violet fans had been hoping for!

Wow! A story where everyone goes on a picnic together! That's definitely exciting!

Exactly! I'm really looking forward to seeing how the three of them react when they see this nature-rich land...... But it seems like there are still hidden secrets in this place...... Maybe we'll uncover them together with Nemona, Arven, and Penny? I'm excited, but I also have a feeling that something might happen!

Rika (Chiri) Ranks Number One for Two Consecutive Years!
Proudly Listed in the Yumejoshi's Favorite Character Ranking!

Another piece of news that I personally can't miss is that Rika (Chiri) from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet ranked in 'Yumejoshi's Top 100 of 2023'...... and not only that, she won first place for the second consecutive year!

What kind of ranking is that?

It's a ranking where girls who love anime and games vote for characters they think are wonderful! Cool! The best! And Rika (Chiri) gathered many votes from girls, winning first place for the second year in a row!

That's understandable. Rika (Chiri) had a lot of merchandise out in 2023 and was always in the spotlight...... But still, winning first place for two consecutive years is impressive! Congratulations!

And actually, a character named Kieran, who appeared in this DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, also ranked fourth! He's a character whose popularity skyrocketed in 2023, so for those who haven't played the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC yet, why not give it a try on this occasion?
