Generation IV Remake Speculation

[RileyXY1]

I think that Pokemon introduced after Gen IV won't show up in this game unless they get regional variants.

Pokeshopper did state in this video that he will be doing a future video on why there will be a Gen 4 Remake, based on the merchandising surrounding Sinnoh coming out next year.

Much of the merchandising already shows that a Gen 4 remake will happen. It's really only a matter of time when they reveal it.

Eh, a Pokemon introduced after the generation that got its remake doesn't need a regional variant to appear in a region that's older than it. This is the case for all traditional remakes released so far. Gen 3 and Gen 4 Pokemon definitely didn't receive any regional forms when HGSS came out, none of the Pokemon introduced after Gen 3 got regional forms and many of them appeared in ORAS in the wild.

Most likely, Sinnoh's regional dex is just gonna be the Platinum dex, plus Sylveon. Unless they introduce new forms or evolutions of any of the pokemon in the platinum dex.

They might stash in many other pokemon on the postgame island, tho.

They'll probably add a few other Pokemon from Gen 5 to 8, with the exclusion of the Zoroark line for obvious reasons.

what if Sinnoh shows a Shinnoh Obstagon? Normal/steel ? Normal/fighting? steel would fit with music element and blocking. Imagine evolving with metal coat.

Taking that remakes mean Megas back we may get some interesting new ones here.
Maybe something about 20 or 25,
Luxray, Drapion, the starters.

Glalie got one, maybe Frosslass(gen 4) and Slowking(gen2) will get here their too.
Maybe thats why they waited with them? Here they could add gen 2 pokemon without any problems.

They could make abilities like Telephathy and Oblivious protect from entry hazards or traps, some effects of moves and abilities. (Foresight, Instruct and so on)

Waiting to see if they give Vespiqueen and Nidoqueen will get Queenly Majesty as ability.

Nidoqueen has the same abilities as Nidoking , exact the same typing and abilities, they only use other moves and stats...
Taking that it learns ice moves and Avalanche and Ice shard are priority moves I would be happy if Queenly Majesty replaced Sheer Force. (Would be good for the blue queen not to worry about aqua jet , water shuriken , bullet punch , extreem speed and would add flavor to it's female side)

Verpiqueen should get a second and as a flying/bug it would be a needed one. Taking it's ice and rock weakness.

At what point did remakes mean we get megas back? I mean, I want megas back like everyone else but remake doesn't mean mega.

 

[Poke Dragon]

I just realized something, this is going to be the last traditional remake where the Pokemon Center and the Poke Mart are separate. Gen 4 is the last generation where the two buildings were separate.

A remake doesn’t mean Megas will come back. I don’t think we’ll see any Megas in the DPPt remakes considering they aren’t returning in SwSh. Pokémon will receive Gigantamax forms instead.

Cynthia having a Gigantomax Garchomp
The Legendaries having some form of Gigantomax or special unique power connected to it. I wouldn't even be surprise if Dynamaxing is possible in the Distortion World if that and Dynamaxing are connected.

That's most likely certain but just like ASOR had Mauville revamped, GF could decide to mix Pkcenters and Marts in a Gen. 4 remake in order to save space and give it a nod just like the small boy in Oldale's PkCenter mentions that it used to have a 2nd floor.

Similar for the Gyms becoming stadiums and having Dynamaxing.

Not quite. Gyms becoming stadiums is an update made in an entirely new generation. Having Pkcenters and Marts fused in a remake is just a revamp or reimagining, just like how the abandonned boat was replaced by Sea Mauville.

I'm thinking that they would only do that if they decide to put character customization into the hypothetical Sinnoh remakes.

They didn't have customisation in Gen 5

Although, it's clear that they will most likely keep them separate, considering that ORAS didn't combine the two together.

Perhaps that was due to how early the 3D was for the series. They might do customisation in the Gen 4 Remake, you never know.

 

[Bolt Strike]

I have a feeling that the reason they didn't combine the two has nothing to do with customization, 5th gen didn't have customization either and they had a combined Center/Mart. It's probably just because they just don't know what to do with the extra space in cities if they removed the Marts, they'd either have to find something else to fill it with in every city in the game or just leave a glaring empty space in every city in the game. They probably see it as too much work and just prefer to keep the city designs the same.

They could fill it with something like a bookshop or saloon

I don't think that they would ever put references to alcohol in the Pokemon games.
