Hi, I hope you’re doing good in life!
So obviously pokemon legends arceus never got another update or dlc and it probably never will at this point, (which still makes me a little sad tbh) but in a world where it did get more updates what would you have liked to see? I person would’ve loved a dlc where we could go to Iron Island, Full Moon Island, and New Moon Island, and the area that became the battle resort in the post game of DPPT. Also I would’ve liked to see Darkrai and Cresselia’s lore and story fleshed out in this hypothetical DLC. It was cool that Darkrai was legitimately catchable in Arceus without being locked behind an event, but it also seemed rather random that he was in the Coronet Highlands, same with Cresselia. In platinum after you catch Darkrai there’s an unknown voice (Arceus’s voice perhaps?) That says Darkrai’s power is so strong that it purposely isolates itself on New Moon Island and that if anyone were to fall into it’s nightmare, Full Moon Island is close by. I could just imagine a quest in the game where the player goes to New Moon Island and they fall into a nightmare but don’t even realize it and you have to play through the characters really messed up dream until you finally encounter Darkrai and catch it. That would’ve been so cool. Also here’s a picture of a shiny Darkrai I caught in my Pokémon diamond recently that I caught through glitches and RNG manipulation.

Hello!! Thank you for the ask!!
I will avoid answering this question with the obvious submas fan answer cause I’ve said it before lol, but there were definitely other things I had wanted from another possible PLA DLC!!
The biggest thing I would have wanted was similar to yours; a new area to explore!! I loved PLA’s scenery, and would have loved another possible biome to find and see. Something I would have wanted with that was new Pokémon added to the dex for us to study. Like how SWSH’s DLCs added new pokemon to its dex. And maybe a couple new NPCs to meet and talk with too for a little self-contained DLC side story.
Another thing I would have loved would have been to see them add a quality of life update, where your pokemon could follow you around instead of just stay in one spot when you let them out of their pokeballs. Again, like SWSH’s isle of armor DLC.
And I often see DLC add new clothing options as well, so that would have been fun!!
And this one is the most vague of course, but man, more DLC would mean more possible story. More quests, more interacting with NPCs and more chances to see them and their personalities!! I will always want more of that from PLA :(
I really like your ideas too!! Would be really fun to get something like that, mirroring Platinum’s distortion world in a way. And WOW congrats on that shiny darkrai!! Love the shiny’s blue-tinted look.
Thanks for asking me this question and for sharing your own ideas OP, I love thinking about and hearing stuff like this!!
