Well if they do then they would probably do what they did with HGSS where they included Crystal's stuff in it. Also I did the same thing. It's the one generation that I hold no special flame for.I got my Hoenn remakes, so I'm happy. I'm not against DP remakes, but the original games have no special place in my heart (I got Platinum and skipped over DP), so I'm unsure if I'd get remakes myself, especially if they used the original Sinnoh Dex with its five Fire-types.
I think D/P remakes are a bit of an oddity. I do think there is a lot that could be done with them, but on the other hand, many of Sinnoh's big features are just taken from the Hoenn games. How do you go about milking more promotion out of Contest Spectaculars and Super Secret Bases, when the whole main sell of those was a) you guys remember all this HOENN STUFF???? and b) look at how these old things have been modernized!
Also, the iconic Pokémon of Gen IV, Lucario, already got it's Mega Evolution and tons of showcasing. Maybe a Mega Lucario Y gets introduced? On top of that, you have the awkward situation with the macots. It's easy to give Dialga and Palkia Primal Reversions, but what about Giratina and Arceus, who already have Forme gimmicks? And which one does the post-game storyline focus on? And who does it use to mobilize that plot? Charon would be after Heatran, presumably, unless that plot gets changed. I guess Cyrus succeeds in cracking the inner workings of the Distortion World?
And doesn't it just seem like the nostalgic fond remembrance of Pokémon ends with R/S/E? D/P/P get a lot of hate in comparison. Which is a shame - Platinum, and the Sinnoh region, are brilliant.
Anyway. I'm rather keen on the names Eternal Diamond and Infinite Pearl.
So they throw Z out the window to give us... another Hoenn remake!?
They could do something not primal with them. They could add Giratina like they did in Platinum and pull a HGSS. I don't know about Arceus. I do remember Arceus having no part in platinum, but idk about DP. I never played those two. All I know is that people say platinum was a big improvement on them.
I don't particularly mind if they do do remakes or not. Platinum was for some reason most boring to me so if they do then I hope that it makes me love sinnnoh.
And hey you never know. Emerald remake might be so unexpected that they do it.
