NO. We do NOT need Unova remakes. Not if they're just going to relegate the game'a development to what is essentially the "B-Team". I'm more of the opinion if you want to have adventures in Unova, just play B2/W2. (Especially because if there is one fact becoming evident; Game Freak simply doesn't want a National dex any more due to the fact that we have so many Pokemon now and apparently they can't figure out how to make it work for the Nintendo Switch.)

[@EmeralBookwise]

Personally I don't need new versions of D/P that are so slavishly "faithful" to the originals because I still have the actual originals. To me the biggest reason to remake a game is getting to see everything reimagined in whatever the current gen engine is. If everything is gonna look, and maybe even play, the same as the original games they might as well not have bothered with the "remake" and instead just ported the originals. Call me cynical, but this feels way too much like a minimal effort nostalgic cash grab, just a way to markup a pair of 15 year old games to sell at an inflated $60 price point. Legends Arcius has me somewhat excited, but Brilliant & Shining are probablably gonna be a hard pass.

[@schuschuu]

Preach

[@adankmemeindisguise1654]

[@digitalunity]

Isn't that how the remakes work? Beyond that, I'm surprised nobody figured out that every remake comes out in a generation divisible by the original title. Kanto is the exception, given that we get that region pretty much every time, but gen 2 remakes in Gen 4, gen 3 in Gen 6, gen 4 in Gen 8

[@mochiyeosang1908]

Arceus* but yes, I agree. As someone who did not buy a switch or SWSH, I was prepared for 2 years to buy a switch for JUST this in hopes that it would have the graphics of gen 8 or even gen 6.

[@rewind_kitsune]

I'm in the entirely same mindset about BDSP as you. It's a reskin at best - not a remake, and an underwhelming one at that which is *quite* disappointing. Legends could be great and has lots of potential but with action rpg you can make a lot of mistakes if you don't know what you're doing or how to inhabit the world correctly so I'm wary of it, but excited nonetheless.

As a Gen 5 fan, I see more people asking for a Gen 5 Legends game about the Original Dragon, that people wanting Gen 5 remakes. Not to mention that they can't remake only BW or only BW2 yet provide a good Unova experience. Basically remaking Gen 5 is a sh*t idea. Remaking in the style of a remaster like SPBD could be ok I guess tho, as it would fix most problem Gen 5 graphics had with the DS resolution. But playing Gen 5 with correct emulator settings is just more worth it lol.

[@NataliaNeeSama]

@@pokemonkarma Yeah, Gen 5 is the only gen that has a sequel title, so is the gen that is the most complex to make a remake of. Either they remake BW and it's sequels, remake BW BUT include it's sequels as a new mode after beating the game, or don't remake them at all, because really, you can't experience Gen 5 without playing both.

So bummed and surprised. DP In lets go art style would’ve been amazing. Pokémon legends (although using the “sinnoh” name), it is sinnoh before it was built up. So it will be open grassfields/nothing extremely recognizable. Pokémon legends doesn’t make up for diamond and pearl not getting a true remake with full proportion graphics Many fans anticipated to see the sinnoh as they know it in a let’s go style graphic with full proportion overworld characters and Pokémon, follow/ride Pokémon. It’s a bummer that this isn’t happening. They could have given us a modern let’s go graphic sinnoh for a new experience/true remake, and put the original DP on the eshop for people who want nostalgia. I understand some like the chibi remaster, but many are disappointed this region isn’t getting a true remake that utilizes modern technology to upgrade us from the chibi visuals that were only present years ago because it was what we were limited to. I hope DP gets a real remake one day. Pokémon legends will be amazing, but it’s a completely different region than sinnoh when it is built up.

I have to say that I was in the hesitation camp as well when I saw the first trailer. Though I found the new trailer has made me pull a 180. The colors feel a lot more vibrant and despite the chibi style, the characters seem a lot more expressive. I would love to hear CandyEvie opinion on the new trail.

[@Ihasnotomato]

I saw a post somewhere that talked about how one of the big factors that makes it look odd it the lighting, everything seems kind of washed out and weird, lights seem to be in places that don’t really highlight the beauty of the world, for instance you can see on all the houses that the roofs are well lit but the sides are all dark, it makes to game feel weirdly cramped and boxed in. Lighting can be a difficult thing to pinpoint but when it’s done wrong things undoubtably feel off

[@battlep0t]

The chibi artstlye doesn't bother me - I'm more concerned that these remakes will be so faithful to the point of keeping all the flaws of the originals that Platinum mostly fixed.

Riding mega latios or latias around the map was cool. The gameboy device in SS and HG was nice and hearing game boy musics was wonderful. They aren't just the older games in 3D, you got a lot of things to do and it always fun to replay them. This howhever is just Diamond and pearl in 3D. There's no new roads, no new mega evolutions to pokemon who don't have one like Flygon; Dragonite, Infernape and the other starters, Yanmega, Luxray.
