Pokemon Pokopia's Free August Update Is More Important Than Its Paid DLC

Pokemon Pokopia's Bubbly Basin DLC has officially arrived, bringing Expansion Pass owners a new underwater town, quests, Pokemon, furniture, buoyant blocks, crops, and other additions. Needless to say, it's a sizable bit of content, and one that many fans of the base game have likely decided to invest in. However, the arrival of Pokemon Pokopia's Bubbly Basin DLC doesn't only benefit Expansion Pass owners, as the base game is receiving a considerable update alongside the DLC that is completely free and will fundamentally change the way players are able to experience the game. In a way, this makes the free update even more important than Bubbly Basin itself, and not just because everyone gets something, regardless of what they've paid.
