Generation IV Remake Speculation

[RileyXY1]

Does that matter? You're still catching the same species.

Yeah, but you can't trade it to Sun & Moon, and I don't even consider LGPE to be a part of Gen 7, or any gen at all for that matter.

Anyway, species have never been an argument NOT to make a remake. The ones in ORAS were readily available in other games, as well.

Now with Dexit it's a little bit more obvious not to include all of Sinnoh in Sw/Sh if remakes are coming. Same for other Gen 1-3 'Mons. Which we know we lack a lot of, especially 2 (44/100), 3 (47/135) and 4 (43/107).

XY did keep out a lot of significant Hoenn Pokemon, including the starters and Legendaries. The Sinnoh Legends are already included in the Crown Tundra, and their puzzles are pretty similar to Platinum.

Many Hoenn Pokemon were available to catch in the wild in X and Y.

But still, a lot of the more significant ones, like the starters and Legendaries, were completely excluded.

It's not the significance that counts here.

But still, why bother with Sinnoh remakes if you can get the Legendaries for a cheaper price?

New forms for them, ORAS added Mega Evolutions for Pokemon that could still be caught in X and Y.

 

[RileyXY1]

I do think that Sinnoh remakes are coming, but in 2023.

Because it's about the experience; The region.

Anyway, we miss a lot of the old gen pokes: Gen 2 (44/100), 3 (47/135) and 4 (43/107).

Remakes always come on a new console, as well. You've as of yet provided us with no logical explanation why you think they'd skip 2021.

 

[RileyXY1]

Because it's about the experience; The region.

Well, it won't be the same unless it's done in Let's Go style.

 

[Poke Dragon]

Well, it won't be the same unless it's done in Let's Go style.

The Let's Go style would be the worst style for a region that wasn't remade traditionally.

It's the best way to represent Sinnoh faithfully, as it would be completely changed if remade traditionally given graphical changes and Dynamaxing.

 

[AngryBinacle]

Well, it won't be the same unless it's done in Let's Go style.

Remakes are not meant to be the same, but to evoke the same core experience; landmarks, boss-battles, music, routes, story, setup, etc.

Whether you move diagonally or in squares, chibi-style, doesn't matter. Remakes are also not the same as the Let's Go series, which is mostly for the younger/Go audience.

 

[RileyXY1]

I think that Gen 9's mechanic will be a lot less intensive and it would be better for Sinnoh to be remade then.

 

[Poke Dragon]

Remakes aren't supposed to be completely faithful to the originals, every remake aside from FRLG were never 100% or even remotely close to faithful to the original due to the added mechanics.

 

[AngryBinacle]

I think that Gen 9's mechanic will be a lot less intensive and it would be better for Sinnoh to be remade then.

Why do you think that? And why are this gen's mechanics 'intense'?

 

[RileyXY1]

Remakes aren't supposed to be completely faithful to the originals, every remake aside from FRLG were never 100% or even remotely close to faithful to the original due to the added mechanics.

Except they still maintained most of the same story elements and layouts as the original. Sword and Shield's layout and mechanics will leave Sinnoh completely unrecognizable.

Disagree here, next year is the perfect year for Sinnoh to be remade, it's two anniversaries being celebrated at the same time. It's especially fitting to remake a game that goes so much in detail about the concepts of time and space of the Pokemon world for the 25th anniversary.

Except they still maintained most of the same story elements and layouts as the original. Sword and Shield's layout and mechanics will leave Sinnoh completely unrecognizable.

They can easily leave Dynamax out of the main story, but implement it in the multiplayer setting.

Also, getting the buildings, routes and the like in 3D with (maybe) a movable camera will not leave it unrecognizable. Also doesn't fit with your 'it will come in gen 9'-argument, seeing how the series will most likely have evolved even further.
