With many wrapping up Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's story, completing their Pokedex, and working on their competitive teams, it seems safe to say many are looking forward to DLC prospects. There have been plenty of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC rumors and leaks, some even from the game itself such as the Beast Ball reward (for Ultra Beasts) once the Pokedex is complete.Other Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC leaks have hinted at the return of Mega Evolution, a return to Kalos of sorts (due to certain portions of the map lining up with where Kalos would be), new Paradox Pokemon, and much more. But a few characters have leaked online to also suggest that, perhaps, the mysteries of Area Zero have yet to be discovered in full.As discovered by Smogon's doipy hooves and aggregated by Centro Leaks, two new characters have been found in the game data: Billy and O'Nare, with the latter being of the currently-absent Lady Trainer class with a Kantonian Meowth. Because their names are puns on billionaire, players are speculating that this could be the parents of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Nemona, who are referenced in game but never outright seen. Furthermore, the author of the Scarlet/Violet Book, Heath, has files citing him as an NPC with dialogue, but he doesn't appear in the game outside a few mentions.
Interestingly enough, this also lines up with Riddler Khu's recent hints at Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's DLC plot, where they posted a poll asking players if they think Heath, Geeta, a new character, or another professor would appear in the game. Heath counts here, and Billy and O'Nare could potentially be new characters. It's very possible Khu's poll could suggest all of these characters play some role, and while it is just speculation, it's hard not to connect the dots here. One major rumor about the DLC is that the third legendary, whose face is connected to the Tera type changes in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, is able to create imagined Pokemon (thus making Paradox make more sense if the machine was tied to the Pokemon and not actually a time machine.)
It could be that Billy and O'Nare funded explorations to Area Zero, it could be that Geeta is tied to it somehow (as hinted by her Glimmora, with some thinking she played a role in constructing the labs and/or being an AI robot like Sada and Turo), it could be that the Legendary Pokemon is using Heath's imagination, and for some reason, perhaps it would bring the opposing professor into the game as a Paradox tied to Arven, for some reason. It's hard to say for sure, but if anything's certain, it's that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC has a lot of potential (even if it hasn't been properly announced yet).
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available now, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
