Exactly. Plus, Mega Evolution is also in Rescue Team DX, GO, and Masters. To me, there's no doubt Mega Evolution will be back, the only question is whether it's going to be in the Sinnoh remakes, and whether they'll introduce new ones.
Just thought it might be interesting to submit the theory that Calyrex from the Crown Tundra might be the key to allowing Dynamax to occur in other regions like Sinnoh.
No, it wasn't. DP was delayed a year and was originally intended to come out in 2005.
I wonder why they delayed the games.
Because they weren't ready. That was almost 15 years ago, before Game Freak started to release half-finished games as full-price titles.
Unlike with GS we never got an answer on that. In fact, I think we never got anything saying they were delayed.
I highly doubt the wall panels are meant to be an indicator of gen 4 remakes, or even a nod to the DPPt games. It's not odd at all--they used rocky slabs over a rock texture because you're inside a temple, I'd imagine it wouldn't make sense otherwise for the interior.
They had plenty of other options to make temple walls not have a rocky texture without needing for the slanted nature though, which as I said, it's odd that they went with something so similar to how walls looked in Gen 4 because when in a 3D space, they can make it so much more different than that.
I'm fairly certain it's just a coincidence. Sure, they had plenty of other options, but that doesn't mean anything. They could have gone with the slanted slabs for a number of aesthetic reasons that don't pertain to hinting at remakes. I mean, if it the devs really did want to insert a nod to DPPt remakes, why make said hint really obscure and cryptic--a nod to something that isn't even unique to Sinnoh nor something that's associated with the region? Why go with cave tiles, especially since said tile design is not unique to DPPt--HGSS use the same exact tiles, and I'm fairly certain every single non-3D also has slanted cave tiles to give a sense of depth. Not only that, the temple slabs don't really look like the cave tiles in DPPt in my opinion.
Although, to be fair, that crown nonsense was only seen as a clue because of a fake title, so imagining a remake of an existing game is a fair amount more likely.
Not always. There are some key hints that point to remakes in past generations such as the Hoenn Gym Leader theme being hidden in Diantha’s theme, or Blaziken being the first not non-Kanto starter to receive a Mega Evolution. I’m not 100% sold on the Regi thing, but I wouldn’t discount hints altogether.
