The problem is with remakes is that you know the story. How can they improve it from the original? The character models? The scenery?

They can do a lot of things. They can redesign the areas, they can add new Pokemon to the regional dex, they can add or update new features, they can rewrite the story. What they will do is a different matter though and a lot more disappointing.

Yeah where is their inspiration?
 
Soo... it might be Lets Go Sinnoh, since the Pokeball Plus gets a reprint.
Didn't SwSh also have Pokéball Plus functionality? I don't think a Pokéball Plus reprint automatically means we'll be getting LG Sinnoh, especially considering that we could also be getting LG Johto or the GO catching mechanic incorporated into DPPt remakes without any other Let's Go mechanics.

And besides, look at the sales of the Let's Go games vs. SwSh. LGPE sold 13 million copies, which is not shabby by any means at all. However SwSh, which has the same Metacritic score as Let's Go Eevee (80 vs LGP's 79) and a similarly divisive pre-release, became the first game since Gold and Silver to sell 20 million copies. That certainly has to have some degree of impact on designing the games, that the non-Let's Go games were more successful than the Let's Go games, no? While I don't think the Let's Go games were a one-and-done thing, I also do think that GameFreak took note of how well each pair did compared to each other.

The thing about the Poke Ball controller is that it might be just to make a new line that will be compatible with the remakes. It receiving a patent isn't going to affect the remake's gameplay style.

Will they be LG style or mainline????
Great Marsh will be the Wild Area
Titles are Temporal/Eternal Diamond & Spatial/Infinite Pearl
Will it keep Dynamax?? Something something changing the Gyms into Stadium, "that doesn't fit the tone"
Bring back Megas, Mega Luxray w/Dark type especially
Giratina/Darkrai/Shaymin/Arceus post-game episode/DLC
Hope they use Platinum Dex! &maybe another expansion?
Sinnohan forms possible
Make Game Corner an arcade
Battle Frontier
Better not change/simplify the caves!
Game Freak literally hate us and want to make the games as bad as possible to spite us
Adding the remaining 200 Pokémon, and doomer theories about enforced incompatibility with SwSh

LOL THIS IS SO TRUE
 
Am i correct in saying that some if not many of the animations seen in the Pokemon Snap trailer are new??

I don't have a Switch to have played SwSh, but i have seen many parts of playthroughs and don't remember seeing anything quite as detailed!

You forgot to mention Sinnoh Underground- will it be online? Will it be a Wild Area? Will there be Max Raid battles? Will it even be there at all or just replaced with the Digging Duo?
 
There is no Let's Go Games. If there is a game it is a Traditional Remake of Diamond & Pearl. They already confirmed in 2019 they were not working on anything LG related. The fear is unrealistic and dumb. If there is a Let's Go Game, it'll be a spin-off or a Extended Version of Pokemon Go on Switch targeted towards little kids.
