With there not being a mainseries Pokémon game last year, and it being the series 25th anniversary, it's all but certain that there will be one this year. But what will it be?
There are rumours going around today that Diamond and Pearl remakes will be announced next month, and that seems to be the most likely option I'd say as well. I wouldn't mind it next year, but I really hope it's not "Let's Go! Johto"  https://metro.co.uk/2021/01/15/pokemon-diam...mours-13908228/ |

a very credible source who often leaks Pokemon related news has confirmed it's Diamond and Pearl.
which makes so much sense, it's the "next" one in line, most of the Gen 4 Pokemon were cut from Sword and Shield, and even their Gen 2 pre-evolved forms (which was also people thinking that they'd be in Let's Go Johto, but it was said that they only wanted to do 1 game of Let's Go) and also it's the Diamond and Pearl 15 year anniversary this year too. My favourite games are finally getting the remake they deserve!!  I just hope they don't mess up the difficulty curve

I’m really hoping for Sinnoh remakes. But also very worried that they’re gonna ruin them.

I think D&P remakes are definitely the most likely, its a bit soon for a new gen and Lets Go Johto would just feel a bit meh for the 25th anniversary. I'd honestly be happy with any of the 3 though as much as I would love for it to be D&P remakes, I just miss all the trailers and build up that we didn't quite get last year

I think Sinnoh remakes would be good but from the point of view of someone who thinks Diamond and Pearl are the least good games in the series so they’ve actually got the chance to improve on the originals in a way that ORAS couldn’t really manage.

I'd really recommend this video on Diamond and Pearl and the various flaws they have (but not in a way that it feels like they're being maliciously ripped apart) and how they'd need to fix it in a remake. Fair warning: it's long!

I both like the idea of remakes & already can see the Sinnoh mons being done dirty by no megas or buffs, just Dynamaxes.

1000% a Sinnoh remake needs to be more based off Platinum than Diamond or Pearl. They can still market it as D & P remakes but they just need to include all the upgrades that Platinum had.

This is what they should've done with ORAS / Emerald... that statue of the battle frontier was such a slap in the face. On the topic of Diamond and Pearl's original errors, my only issue with them was that they were so painfully slow. I enjoyed everything else. I thought the story was fun, the Sinnoh region is very charming and it is so challenging. I hope it's not just a copy / paste remake. I really want them to push the boat out, this is the remake we've all been waiting for for SO long. |

The Darkrai/Shaymin/Arceus story arcs would be that much easier to integrate rather than doing it through events like for the originals

I wish they'd do an open world one that they can just keep adding to, a bit like pokemon revolution. It just makes so much sense, they'd make loads from DLC.

I feel like that's what they are trying to do with Go? But for a main series game it might be a bit much, because Gamefreak like to move on quickly. I could never see them doing a GTA scenario mainly cause the Switch doesn't have that kind of capabilities. |

The signs are all pointing the way I want them to, but like I said I'll believe 4th Gen remakes when I have the game in my hands at this point
I just hope they don't f*** it up, just leave it like Platinum with 8th gen engine and new moves since then, re-usable TMs etc, stuff like the added Fairy type, little quality of life improvements from SwSh like the easy breeding/EV training, the move relearner/nickname changer in each Pokemon centre. I guess you could argue they helped make SwSh too easy, but I think those things whilst leaving the game the same at its heart will address some of the issues with Gen 4 without taking away the great stuff. Platinum is my fave game so I hope they don't mess it up D:

Only thing is with merging Gen 8 mechanics with Gen 4 games is how reliant you were on HMs when it came to exploration in Sinnoh. Literally every route had some kind of blockage or extra route you could take later on in the game requiring a mix of any of the 8 HMs. To have a team able to navigate anywhere in Platinum you needed two HM slaves
Whereas now, what theres no rock climbing or smashing at all, no moving boulders, flying across the region has become a taxi service without needing a flying type, there’s no use for defog, waterfall or cut outside of battle, and the obvious surf has become a bicycle upgrade. It’s not entirely a bad thing it’ll just require either some backtracking on their part or a redesign(but hopefully not simplification) of Sinnoh landscape |

They can do stuff like the Ride Pokémon feature from Gen 7, going back to having to use HMs on Pokemon would be stupid as it just wastes a move slot unless it's Surf/Fly/maybe Waterfall, Rock Climb is ok I guess but anything you'd realistically use it on would have Body Slam or something better.
Plus Defog has become a great, almost essential move competitively so there's implications there of making that available as a HM for basically any flying type! |

Staraptor taxis or bust
Gen 4 remakes are the Pokémon equivalent to “preparing for YG to announce BLACKPINK’s next comeback” at this point  I’d complete the game + post-game quests and I still wouldn’t believe it
