Critic Reviews for Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass - Part 1: Bubbly Basin
The Pokopia Expansion Pass is off to a solid start with Bubbly Basin, with much-needed quality-of-life improvements, new Pokémon to find, and a refreshing new map to explore. If you've already completed the other towns (or even if you haven't), Bubbly Basin offers something else to quench your thirst. In Bubbly Basin, life is the bubbles, take it from me.
An excellent slice of DLC that, just like the parent game, manages to comfortably exceed expectations, with a large new map and an impressive array of new pokémon, objects, and features.
Pokémon Pokopia: Bubble Blub Depths confirms that Omega Force's title is one of the year's best games. This DLC improves upon all the mechanics seen in Pokémon Pokopia and prompts reflection on a future that is as imminent as it is inevitable if we continue to treat our planet the way we do. The decision to set the entire game underwater allows it to unfold across multiple levels and make the most of the most widespread Pokémon fauna: Water types.

In the end, the Bubbly Basin DLC is a straightforward extension of the same gameplay loop that defined Pokopia. But that’s one of its great strengths.
Pokémon Pokopia: Bubbly Basin is a DLC that I enjoyed to a reasonable degree; it's not amazing, but it's not a disaster either.

Bubbly Basin, Pokémon Pokopia's first DLC, hits all the right notes to offer one of its best regions and a solid infusion of new things to find.
Pokémon Pokopia is an excellent title made stronger by the inclusion of underwater environments and water-type Pokémon that expand the player's options naturally.
