The upcoming DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet got a lot of love during the latest Nintendo Direct. Hype is certainly building for The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, but there was a notable absence during the presentation – that being any sign of the continuation beyond Pokemon: Legends Arceus. There's certainly more room for the game to grow beyond Legends Arceus, with the possibility of exploring more legendary Pokemon and the regions they reside in.
Legends Arceus established a new formula within the Pokemon canon, using starters from different regions in an ancient Sinnoh rather than its original trio. This change allowed players to begin their journey with Pokemon they may not have necessarily chosen before. Still, some may think it's wise to have a set of brand new starters in a potential sequel to provide a more considerable distinction between the mainline games and the Legends series. But as exciting as this may sound, there's a resounding reason why this wouldn't work.
