"Mega Dimension DLC is a lengthy coda to the base game, riffing on every narrative and mechanical overhaul Game Freak brought to Lumiose City. It is essentially the postgame that lacked when it launched in October, and while your mileage may vary on whether or not you want to spend an extra $30 to play it, what's here is a compelling spin on everything that made the game one of most compelling experiments."
"A young girl named Ansha shows up in Lumiose City to ask for Team MZ's help. She's in search of a powerful legendary Pokémon to give to her mother as a present. Because we're heroes who never turn away a person in need, we agree to help her find this mystery beast, but before we can really start looking, the city is overtaken by mysterious portals that lead to a bizarro version of Lumiose called Hyperspace."
Mega Dimension functions as a substantial postgame coda that unlocks only after viewing the real credits. The story centers on Ansha seeking a legendary Pokémon while Lumiose City is invaded by portals into a mirrored Hyperspace filled with stronger, nonnative Pokémon. Progress requires feeding Hoopa berry-filled Donuts that boost stats, extend timers for short Hyperspace expeditions, and raise levels beyond 100. The mode plays like a light roguelike that emphasizes efficient mission completion to gather intel points. Battles feel more demanding than the base real-time system, rewarding strategic donut creation and time management.
