Generation IV Remake Speculation

[RileyXY1]

I didn’t specify America. I’m well aware it was Europe that did it, but that decision ends up affecting every territory.

You did say "E", which is an American game rating.

I was speaking colloquially. The “appropriate for kids” rating.

 

[Nitro Indigo]

I'm amazed I ever beat Diamond as a kid. I know I'm not the only one who got confused by the guy blocking Route 222, because there was a letter about it in a magazine called Pokémon World.

 

[SinnohEevee]

I don't want Cynthia to be nerfed, and made easy to beat.

“Mercilessly butchered” is putting it quite dramatically for some of those. They pretty much don’t have a choice but to cut the Game Corner if they want to retain their E rating, and the only difference with the Safari Zone is that they took the restrictions off. (On the one hand, yeah it makes it just the same as any other route with wild Pokémon, but on the other, I think it’s nice to no longer be at the mercy of the Pokémon choosing to run away - to split the difference, I think they probably could have retained the step limit, or maybe just done something with PokéBlocks. Their approach was flawed, but not abhorrent.)

And then I’d argue that Trainer Hill was more-or-less reworked into the Mauville Food Court. It’s not the same exact challenge, but it’s still taking very similar cues, and it’s like right next door to where the Hill used to be. (Not that Trainer [Tower] was really Emerald’s feature to begin with.)

I am aware that "mercilessly butchered" was a dramatic exaggeration, but still. Some of the omissions are just so counterintuitive I can't help it but be dramatic.

But to be honest, the BF and Gym Leader rematches would have been enough to shut me up.

That said, I expect Sinnoh remakes to be even more "butchered".

It will be sad seeing the feature to dress up Pokemon for Pokemon Contests go away, but I guess it's a thing that can't be brought back in a 3D environment. The only one I see it being implemented is Pikachu because well, it's the mascot.

Actually they have shown that they still can do it in a way. The dress up was basically putting stickers on, and with Alola photo club, we know they know how to do that. There isn’t anything preventing them from doing it.

 

[Nitro Indigo]

@Unown Seer Sorry if I came across as rude earlier, but why did you predict Let's Go games named after legendaries?

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

I hope we get Megas in these games. Sinnoh's theme was cross-Gen evolutions, and Mega Evolution is related to it so...

 

[Nitro Indigo]

I'd like to see Mega PorygonZ so I can begin another cycle of lying to myself that Porygon2 will make a proper appearance in the anime.

In all seriousness, Mega Raichu based on Gorochu.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

In all seriousness, Mega Raichu based on Gorochu.

This is basically No. 1 on my wish list next to Mega Typhlosion. I always felt it was unfair that Pikachu had lots of bells and whistles, Pichu has a form and one of the most prominent baby Pokémon, and Alolan Raichu ended up with an exclusive Z-Move, leaving regular Raichu with almost no incentive to use.
Doesn’t help that putting a thunderstone on Pikachu is treated as a sin by the anime and almost all Raichu are jerks there.

Electric/Fire would be a nice type for it, followed by Electric/Dark and Electric/Fighting.
It should be a physical attacker to contrast with Alolan Raichu's special nature.

 

[Nitro Indigo]

I'd go for Electric/Fighting mixed attacker with No Guard, for Thunder, Focus Blast, and Iron Tail.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

I'd personally go for Electric/Fire mixed attacker with Volt Tackle, Flamethrower/Fire Blast and maybe Surf from the surfing Pikachu along with Iron tail.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

By the way, can the mods change the poll? It doesn’t even make much sense.
The first option questions if there will be a remake at all, but the answer seems obviously yes.
We ended up with a Yellow remake just now.
And it’s 2018 now regarding the 3rd option.

That's good, if they allow us to place stickers anywhere, then the feature is essentially brought back.

T-pose on em

 

[Poke Dragon]

I wonder how Amity Square will work now that following Pokemon is possible with any Pokemon.

Looks like prime real estate to be converted into GO Park

There’s not much sense in doing that to the Great Marsh since it is a lot more specifically “themed” than all the other Safari Zones. It’s much less about being a Safari Zone and much more about being a bog inhabited by bog Pokémon.

I doubt either will be converted into GO Park. If anything, I think it will replace Pal Park since Pokemon Bank is a thing.

Please don’t be a let’s go remake
