Did they? All I remember from the lead-up to ORAS is praise and excitement. Mind you, I wasn't such a frequent visitor of Pokemon forums back then...
As soon as Gen IX hits, that will be the case.Now it's gonna be Unova confirmed.
While you could be correct, the fact that they have a more main series type name gives me hope it’ll be closer to FRLG than let’s go. Iirc, FRLG was pretty faithful to the original games, only allowed you to catch kanto pokemon during thd game... but did include all gen 2 and 3 pokemon that could be traded from rse.If I were a betting woman, I’d bet my last coin that only gen 1-4 Pokémon are going to be included in these games, with minor exceptions like Slyveon. Per the Presents:
I’d even go as far as to say that only Pokémon present in Platinum have a decent chance of being included in these games, so no National Pokédex. The reason being is that this seems to be a more closed-off game like LGPE, where the only ‘mons that could be brought into the game were from GO. However, BDSP aren’t tied to GO in the same way that LGPE was (that we know of), and I highly doubt SWSH and Legends will have compatibility for obvious reasons. Therefore, I think it’s unlikely that we’ll see the National Pokédex because there’ll be no other compatible games with which to trade with.
Following the pattern of remakes, it would be Generation X that Unova would be remade. FireRed and LeafGreen was one generation late in the pattern, but every other remake with HeartGold/SoulSilver, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire and now Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl are made in generations that are doubled their original generation.As soon as Gen IX hits, that will be the case.
No DS game was downloadable on the 3DS. Some were on the Wii U (like the Ranger games), but not any of the core Pokemon games.Was the original Diamond Pearl downloadable on the Nintendo eShop? 3DS?
One YouTuber complained that being a 1 for 1 faithful remake would mean all the glitches from the original Diamond and Pearl
I think that will be broken because otherwise Gen 9 will be just the base pair and DLC.One YouTuber complained that being a 1 for 1 faithful remake would mean all the glitches from the original Diamond and Pearl would be present in the remakes. But I don't see that likely because it's a different engine with 3D battles and a few minor changes. It's more likely that they'll keep all the good stuff faithful. No GBA slot on the switch so they can't implement the Pal Park or Dual Slot mode.

2 x 2 = 4 HGSS
3 x 2 = 6 ORAS
4 x 2 = 8 BDSP
5 x 2 = 10 BW remakes.
That argument makes sense on paper in a theoretical sense but, in practice it falls apart considering how fast TPC was able to crank out 721+ models in HD within the budget of a 3ds release. If they were going to cut the dex there were better ways to go about it such as simply not having pokemon Home exist at all (so collectors could just have a natural end point instead of choosing whether or not to 16 bucks a year to store pokemon they have no idea when will actually be useful) or simply waiting until Switch's successor and warning people ahead of time so people would have one last hurrah in the HD that the models were future proofed for.I personally dislike the whole National Dex controversy. In the sense that its removal doesn't bother me. It was bound to happen eventually.
IKR? Don't they see the 3D, the Sword/Shield battling, the diagonal movement, and everything that sets them apart from the original games?Unless they were being sarcastic, I really have to wonder where this hyperliteral definition of “faithful” suddenly came from. I have never seen it used to mean “exactly identical in every way,” but this fandom seems to be taking it to mean that.
Okay I think there's a lot of younger people that never played D/P/P before. So I still predict good financial success.Was the original Diamond Pearl downloadable on the Nintendo eShop? 3DS?
Sincere like from my part. ORAS > Emerald any day.I can’t tell if people liking this means that they agree with me or that they just like my enthusiasm.
Well, the Moon: Remix RPG Adventure remake for the Switch was remade from the ground up, glitches and all. I think they lost the code or something and that prevented them from making a straight port, but it is the exception, not the rule.Unless they were being sarcastic, I really have to wonder where this hyperliteral definition of “faithful” suddenly came from.

I do hope in the final version, they will make cel-shading which will be a blast to my eyes if it ever occurs.
Example of how the characters would look more like,
The double battle against them in the Battle Frontier was awesome. Platinum added some neat stuff that made the Sinnoh cast so endearing to me (like that double battle, the Maylene/Candice stuff in Snowpoint, the Villa, the Battleground), that it would honestly break my heart if none of it made it into the remake.Short wish-list (more to come)
1. Give Volkner his Platinum team
2. Give Flint his Platinum team
Aside from some small details the graphics will look the same, so don't expect anything good on that regard. Honestly I got a feeling they didn't treat these games as if they were mainline ones, but as something secundary. Had they used the same Sword and Shield style with some improvements here and there I'd be praising them and purchasing a copy at this very moment. I don't play pokemon because of the graphics, but there should be a limit. This chibi thing is atrocious IMO. Now, let's see which features will be in, and to be honest it wouldn't surprise at all if the battle frontier end up being left behind. They knew the fanbase was asking for these games for a long time, this is why I think they'd try their best to develop a great game. Most here weren't asking for something perfect like Breath of the Wild, we were asking for a good game with decent graphics and art styles, with some new feature (Megas, Z-Moves, whatever). Is it too much to ask for?They care calling it a faithful remake, which is scary.
Why would I play the same game again? I already have Platinum.
And the art style isn't good. Barry looks like plastic and why is Dawn that short? Can you imagine Cynthia or Cyrus like that?
LGPE say hi. Generation IX could accommodate a Legends game for Kanto and Johto around the 30th anniversary. A compilation of RGBY, GSC, FRLG and HGSS would be much nicer than remakes.I think that will be broken because otherwise Gen 9 will be just the base pair and DLC.

Pokemon Legends Arecus is clearly the game they wanted to make, BDSP were an afterthought.
