The highly anticipated sequel to 2016's incredibly popular 3DS classic, Detective Pikachu, Detective Pikachu Returns, is set to be released for the Nintendo Switch in October 2023, which may spell trouble for those looking forward to The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's upcoming DLC. Notably, the second installment in the Detective Pikachu series is now going to release in the same window as the DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, set to be launched in Q3 and Q4 2023. The close release date of Detective Pikachu Returns and Scarlet and Violet's upcoming DLC – split into two parts, The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk – is likely bad news for those eagerly anticipating Gen 9's expansion.
