BDSP Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl General Discussion

Now it's even more likely that BDSP really is just a 1 to 1 remake of the originals.

Why do you think so?

Why do you think so?

They didn't announce anything at E3, one of the biggest gaming events.

As far as I know Pokemon usually doesn't show up on E3

I don’t think the lack of news we’ve gotten so far really suggests anything about the contents of the game.

They've been at E3 in some capacity multiple years in a row.

There were no Pokémon news in the previous Nintendo Direct, either.

But there was? That's how they revealed Nessa. Also the Treehouse controversy.

So Zelda BOTW2 will be released in 2022. The new Mario Party looks awesome as well. I've been a Nintendo homer since my childhood days so playing the old Mario Party's boards is gonna be awesome. Kind of weird not seeing Pokemon getting some attencion there, but on overall I liked what I saw.

I don't think that necessarily indicates the content of BD/SP. Pokemon isn't always featured at E3 and lack of coverage doesn't mean that it's a one-to-one remake. It's just a bit of an assumption to make with little to no information.

I'm not talking about an E3. I remember another Nintendo Direct being published outside one within the last year.

There's Nintendo Directs, Pokémon Directs, and sometimes Nintendo Directs with Pokémon games. All we need is Pokémon Directs with (non Pokémon) Nintendo games. It's like those probability tables where they ask "what is the chance of a direct having Pokémon given that it's a Nintendo direct?"

The pokemon japanese twitter account has the Legends release info as their main pinned tweet. I find it odd that they'd pin Legends which has considerably less (approximately half) likes and retweets compared to BDSP.

TPCi seems to be moving away from having Pokemon in Nintendo Directs and are moving more towards Pokemon Directs/Presents.

I'm not talking about an E3. I remember another Nintendo Direct being published outside one within the last year.

It was mostly just Snap being shown off in the more recent directs. Rarely do third versions or remakes make it in non-Pokemon specific directs, E3 or otherwise. I also think that the reason why Legends wasn't shown off was because they're putting finishing touches on it and they didn't want to start more controversy with their janky unfinished builds of the game.

 

[NealIRC]

So nothing on a Switch remake either? Damn, but if there is, I'm hoping it will help up on Nintendo's stocks.

Did they really just announce a Pokemon Unite presentation instead of a Sinnoh one? It's almost like they're trolling us.

Where?

 

[Chidamari Sketch]

Where?

 

[KirbyBulba737]

They didn't really announce a Unite present, but rather that there's news about Unite. Or at least that's my interpretation.

 

[Poke Dragon]

Plus, they haven't told us the time, so I don't think UNITE will get its own Presents.

 

[RileyXY1]

Plus, they haven't told us the time, so I don't think UNITE will get its own Presents.

But it's clear that if there was going to be main series news they would have announced that instead of announcing Unite news. So yeah, I think that this will including only Unite news and nothing else.
