The early buy bonus for Sword & Shield being Meowth rather than a Sinnoh starter makes me think that we're not getting Sinnoh remakes this gen.

Looks like we now know who Leon's true Ace actually is with Gigantomax Charizard, alongside Diantha's Mega Gardevoir. But since Steven's Metagross has a Mega Metargoss in the Gen 3 Remake, could it be that Cynthia's Garchomp would have a Gigantomax Garchomp?
Lance: Dragonite (Dragon/Flying)
Steven: Metagoss/Mega Metagoss (Steel/Psychic)
Cynthia: Garchomp/Gigantomax Garchomp (Dragon/Ground)
Alder: Volcarona (Bug/Fire)
Diantha: Mega Gardevoir (Psychic/Fairy)
Leon: Gigantomax Charizard (Fire/Flying)
Leon also shares the same Ace as Red, although he isn't considered a Champion, but a strong trainer.
I think the gimmick would be an advance of what Rowan studies- Evolution! What if we take evolution a step further? Evolution beyond evolution that requires extreme bonds to achieve with extreme power ups? It could maybe even surpass the three Pokémon evolution line! Maybe make it last during a single battle...Given that Dexit means that Game Freak has no reason to keep compatibly anymore in terms of game mechanics, is is possible that Sinnoh might scrap Dynamax/Gigantamax or even get its own power-up/gimmick int its place? It doesn't hurt to prepare for anything at this point.
P.S. Not meaning to be condescending, but I'm too pendatic for my own good and apologise in advance and I sincerely don’t mean to insult anyone's spellings since I’m not a native speaker and know the pain myself, but the mechanic's called GigantAmax, not Gigantimax or Gigantomax...
Its a complex name imo, and being spelled wrong makes me dislike it more...
I still think the name could’ve been better, my vote goes to Gigamax, and calling the forms G-Max forms like the moves: like G-Max Corviknight.English grammar makes spelling and pronouncing made up words pretty difficult, doesn’t it... oh the pronounciations for all the hundreds of made up words and names in this franchise
(I assumed it came from “gigantic + max”)
I don't think that Megas are coming back unless Kalos becomes relevant again.I think the gimmick would be an advance of what Rowan studies- Evolution! What if we take evolution a step further?

As for its name what about... er... Mega Evolution?
Megas won't, but Dynamaxing/Gigantamaxing, they'll find a way for Gen 4 RemakeI don't think that Megas are coming back unless Kalos becomes relevant again.
However the only thing that seems to give it away is from what Pokeshopper reported of there being a lot of Gen 4 merchandising for 2020.Since Game Freak is being more secretive this generation, I can see why they wouldn't want to make a Sinnoh starter a gift Pokemon in SWSH
I fear that if they do that the games would become Sword & Shield but set in Sinnoh rather than a true Sinnoh remake.Megas won't, but Dynamaxing/Gigantamaxing, they'll find a way for Gen 4 Remake

They might have to in order to incorporate Dynamaxing/Gigantamaxing.The remakes used to be really simmilar to the originals. I don't believe they will go full Sword/Shield for them.
I just think the disconnect might indicate Megas return and Dynamax doesn’t. Kalos doesn’t need to be relevant since it wasn’t really that prominent in the Hoenn Mega storyline. It just seemed the perfect mechanic for Sinnoh for pretty obvious reasons. I’m not counting on it but it might happen.I don't think that Megas are coming back unless Kalos becomes relevant again.
What does this mean other than instilling needless fear in people? What will make Sinnoh remakes Sword/Shield but set in Sinnoh?I fear that if they do that the games would become Sword & Shield but set in Sinnoh rather than a true Sinnoh remake.
I think all depends on the dynamax/gigantamax lore in Sword/Shield. As far as we know, it's something a bit artificial and mysterious. It's not clear yet if it's possible to export it to another region.
