Summary

OnePokemon Scarlet and Violetplayer was recently amused to realize that The Indigo Disk’s Savanna Plaza is shaped like a giant frying pan. While their observation qualifies as one of those things that cannot be unseen after being pointed out, it would appear that this neat little detail went unnoticed by manyPokemon Scarlet and Violetfans up until recently.

The Indigo Disk is the second and final part of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero expansion for the newest mainlinePokemongames. Released in mid-December, the DLC packadded multiple new and returning series features toPokemon Scarlet and Violet, including a fresh take on the Safari Zone. Now called the Terarium Dome, this location has provided the fans of the franchise with yet another opportunity to catch a variety of pocket monsters within the confines of a special preserve.

Aside from its diverse fauna, thePokemon Scarlet and VioletTerariumalso features a varied assortment of landmarks to behold, some of which boast more interesting designs than others. Reddit user Sausagewatericecube can attest to that fact, having just recently realized that the Savanna Plaza in the southern corner of the zone is shaped like a giant frying pan. Hundreds of people later voted to send their discovery to the front page of the r/PokemonScarletViolet subreddit, with that development signaling many fans had been unaware of this interesting detail—as obvious as it might appear—up until now.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Savanna Plaza Is a Possible Reference to Crispin

The plaza’s design is a possible reference to Crispin, a student of theBlueberry Academy introduced in the latestPokemon Scarlet and VioletDLC. Namely, Game Freak’s design for this character includes a familiar-looking frying pan that is meant to reflect his expertise with Fire-type pocket monsters. The fact that a Fire Tera Shard can be found underneath the square is another strong indicator that the location’s likeness to Crispin’s frying pan was very much a deliberate choice.

Admiring the architectural novelty of the Savanna Plaza is far from the only reason to visit this Terarium location. The giant square also provides The Indigo Disk players with the easiest opportunity to obtain a Protector, a special evolution item required toevolve Rhydon into Rhyperior inPokemon Scarlet and Violet. The front of the plaza also features two vending machines that sell dozens of useful items, while the location itself serves as the setting for one unique challenge that The Indigo Disk players are able to undertake.
