Generation IV Remake Speculation

[Poke Dragon]

Nah, a traditional Sinnoh remake is the best option for Game Freak at this point, plus, Gen 4 Pokemon don't have the same iconic presence that Gen 2 does to even have a Let's Go version of it. And this is Game Freak, they are most likely going to make a traditional Gen 4 remake before a Let's Go version of it is made, ultimately, any company's goal is to maximize as much profit as possible and Game Freak wouldn't be able to maximize profits if they just stuck to one remake series. Yes, the game will sell well regardless, but even Game Freak knows that ending a remake series will prevent them from maximizing profits. If anything, the traditional remake series will continue along with the Let's Go series, with Let's Go being for the games that were already remade while traditional remakes being for games that weren't remade yet.

Someone did make this video showing the connections Galar and Sinnoh could have...

It shows that the Dynamaxing is caused by a rift in the Distortion World, and if true, then maybe that would be explained further in the Gen 4 remake.

That's a lot more work, though. Especially if they're already finding it difficult to manage the animation qualities needed for the Switch. Sure, they're out to maximize profits, but a second set of Kalos games in 2015 would have also made a profit and yet they didn't shoot for that, seemingly (at least in part) because their plate was already full.

As far as the icon status of each generation goes, nothing is Kanto-tier anyway so I similarly wouldn't be too surprised if no more Let's Go games happened at all, but either way, a Gen 4 remake would inherently include a fair amount of Gen 2 Pokémon because of the added evolutions, and Gen 4 has Lucario which I think is at least as much of a breakout hit as anything from Gen 2.

I doubt there will be a third Gen 8 game because from what the leak hinted at, it looks as if the third Pokemon will be playing a big role in Sword and Shield's story.
Just as Giratina would be for the Gen 4 remake. It'll be just like Platinum, only instead of catching the two mascot Pokemon for Diamond and Pearl, you would instead get one.

I can already see some parallels between Galar and Sinnoh from this alone.

I haven't even watched it but I guarentee this video is just gonna sound like a Sinnoh confirmed meme.

Gigamax Form if the leak credibility continues.

The credible leak doesn’t mention forms for sinnoh legendaries.

Let's Go Sinnoh

No. Just no.

 

[BackSet]

No. Just no.

Yeah I'm with you here. No.

I wouldn't object to the dragons of space time getting primal forms. Or maybe their own origin forms.

 

[Parissong]

Pokemon Diamond was the first Pokemon game I officially played, managed to defeat Cynthia by the skin of my teeth. But then long after I started using Action Replay on my Pokemon to have random stats and moves so now I can't transfer them. R.I.P.

That's why I'm waiting for a Gen 4 Remake so to start the adventure all over again from scratch.

Haha, I played my early DS games on an R4, so my team is literally stuck in that purgatory. Oh well! But yes, I used Dialga against Cynthia over and over again and holy bonkers do I love Roar of Time! So pumped for a Gen 4 remake! I want to go back to that old time.

 

[Silktree]

Of course, it's certainly not impossible that they could introduced those Gen 3+ mechanics in a LG Johto game even though they weren't part of the original GSC, but that feels a little weird to me.

It is just abilities. LGPE already have double battles and even Mega Evolutions.

I think we'll be seeing more dimensions, seeing that they’re suddenly wanting to explore more dimensions like Ultra Space. Maybe Dialga and Palkia's home dimensions, which can pave way for their origin forms.

I'm currently replaying Platinum and caught Giratina! I'm currently split on using Giratina in the league...

 

[Poke Dragon]

I always wanted to see Dialga and Palkia's dimensions. It's weird that they come out of portals from their dimensions but we never get to see what's in the dimensions.

Nice! I replay Plat just cuz I think the experience is fuller than Diamond. Altho if Diamond and Pearl are getting remakes, I think it is obvious which one I will go for lmao

I’ll be picking the Diamond remake myself, since Platinum won’t be remade and I detest Palkia’s design. I always found Dialga to be better looking.

I hope they do include some platinum stuff in the remakes. Like the villa that costs eight million dollars or some other absurd amount.

Let us catch Level 100 Magikarp in the Resort Area pls

I chuckled.

I’m pretty sure something’s going to happen to Wayward cave and Mount Coronet. Probably the distortion world puzzles too.

Make Mount Coronet less of a maze that gave my 8-year old self severe self-doubt in figuring out when to use what HMs where

The question is: what role will Looker play? He's shown up in every generation since 4 but in 4 he only played a role in Platinum.

Probably port over his role in Platinum. It’s one of the additions that can be accommodated.
