What Happened To Remake Pokemon Games?

Oh I see. It’s also interesting, while Sw/Sh had a number of people liking it post launch and post DLC…there are perhaps just as many, if not more that really dislike it. And no, not just because of the Dexit situation. I have no opinion on them if course since I haven’t actually played them.

I don't think Gamefreak wants to do Remakes anymore considering BDSP was a very last minute thing just to tie in with Legends Arceus.

[@yoso378]

It's kinda funny it seems like they are so dang scared to change any amount of tradition in the series that they felt the need to release those remakes alongside games that actually pushed the series forward for better or worse. Like their audience are pretty much only A) children that have never played any of the games before, or B) adults that are going to buy literally every product released including multiple versions. Either way shaking up the formula is not going to hurt them.

[@phil2160]

Yeah BDSP only exist because of demand of the fanbase, and that what became LA became too different from a Sinnoh remake as development went on.

I still wish they could make a 3rd game/remake of Johto & Unova, at least for the fairy type bcoz Legends games aren't for everyone

[@13KuriMaster]

Notice how the "biggest" issue with HGSS was that it didn't solve issues with GSC that it could have... and that the most notable issues with ORAS was NOT taking a few cues from Emerald, the "enhanced" version of R/S. Then BDSP comes in.... almost completely ignores the enhanced version of the Gen 4 games, while changing extremely little, and certainly not fixing issues with Sinnoh that it could have (extra aggravating for the issues that WERE fixed in said enhanced version).............. there's a reason why it was such a let down.

[@JamiePokemonTrainer]

BDSP was a Diamond and Pearl remake and it wasn't going to have most of the Platinum content. Also it changed enough without disrespecting the originals.

[@13KuriMaster]

@@JamiePokemonTrainer However, as HGSS shown.... in the same generation as what games BDSP are remaking... one can take elements of the enhanced third version of a game for the remake. They could have still had Looker prowling around investigating Team Galactic.... like how Eustience showed up in HGSS despite never being in Gold and Silver, only Crystal. HGSS also had the Solectic Ruins take more after their appearance in Crystal then in Gold and Silver and had Blair's post-gym battle trial BE the one from Crystal instead of the one from Gold and Silver. Even ORAS, which was also given the criticism of generally ignoring the enhanced third version (in its case Emerald)... still did more acknowledgment of said version then BDSP, through it's delta episode. It could have still been a remake of Diamond and Pearl, while incorporating more elements of Platinum.

[@JamiePokemonTrainer]

@@13KuriMaster Crystal didn't had as much additions as Emerald and Platinum. Looker didn't need to be in the game. He was a waste of a character that did nothing throughout Platinum. There is Platinum references such as the Distorted Room at Ramanas Park and the Gracidea Flower girl. As well including the Secret Key for the hidden room for Rotom's forms. And the Griseous orb.

[@saxor96]

​@@JamiePokemonTrainer A lot of the Platinum changes could've been carried over to BDSP. For starters the pokedex, because it's a crime having a lot of the new pokémon locked behind the national dex. But more egregious is the lack of something as simple as giving Team Galactic bases their graphical updates to the generic copy-pasted rooms that were in diamond and pearl. Platinum actually made them feel like an evil team base, but BDSP decided to completely ignore these artistic redesgins and forced them to be the original, piain ones.

[@theoaremevano3227]

It is a worrying pattern that they keep putting together remakes that ignore issues they already felt deserved a fix in the third edition games. It's unfortunate that it's not unusual for companies to do this either. I hope some of them start to notice the massively different response exceptional remakes earn for the developers and companies. After all, the further they get into the series, the more likely people are to still have a copy of the old game still, meaning those players need better incentives to go pick up a new version.

[@WhiteRaven696]

They’ve actually been releasing Pokémon mid-generation since Gen. 3: - “?” and “!” Unown in FR/LG - Spiky-Eared Pichu in HG/SS, Rotom and Shaymin Forms in Platinum - Kyurem and Keldeo Forms in B2/W2 - Cosplay Pikachu and Additional Mega’s in OR/AS It wasn’t until US/UM that Pokémon started adding truly new Pokémon mid-generation, like Poipole, Stakataka and Blacephalon.

[@Johnny-Wilde-Productions]

BDSP was too faithful. Game Freak gave ILLCA the wrong base games to work with. Platinum with DP differences would have given it a better start. The underground habitats were a nice addition. However, we had an issue. I had two mons on my team with Mega Evolution potential. Cynthia had two. Allowing her Garchomp to Mega Evolve would have been an interesting sight, even if Megas were post game for us. Then the E4 could have had one Mega as well: >Aaron=Mega Heracross >Bertha=Mega Steelix >Flint=Mega Camarupt >Lucian=Mega Alakazam Bertha and Flint could have had their Starters using Mastered Abilities to add another level of problems, with Cynthia replacing Gastrodon with Empoleon. Mastering their Abilities grants an extra 25% boost to the ability, along with a new form and signature move, much like Ash's Infernape, while having a secondary effect of reducing super effective moves by 50%

[@heroicgangster9981]

I wish BDSP just copied Platinum, and asset swapped the legendary events and pokemon spawns. This is why having staff that actually know what their playerbase wants is important. For some reason corporate wants to make products that people don't entirely love.

[@Styruse]

That doessn't really make sense. DP were written in C++ on the DS software and BDSP were written in C# in the unity engine. It's completely different systems and programing languages, and rendering engines, and 2d where the player isn't even on the grid anymore. They used the same *data*, which is unfortunate, but it's impossible to have just directly ported the raw data onto the switch and just have it work. They'd have to write the code themselves. They just copied what they saw bit by bit, like redrawing a painting.

[@MrTherandomguy42]

And I heard that TPC not only gave them not a lot of time and resources, but they were also rather strict on what could and could not be allowed in these remakes. Aside from the concept art, no official source confirms this though, so take it with a grain of salt if you will.

[@ExploudOnDeck]

They should just announce Pokemon Collections when the switch 2 drops. They could do it like the MegaMan collection games that have come out over the last few years. Gens 1-2 collection 1 Gens 3-5 collection 2 Gens 6-7 collection 3 And then they don't need to make a switch collection

[@FNTM2k3]

If you want old Pokemon, you can mod a 3DS or DSI so you can get them through gameplay. You don’t need BDSP, you just need an older console, a laptop, and an SD card. It’s really that simple,

[@EmeralBookwise]

I will say, that OR/AS gets it's main game correct, but more of the Emerald features could have been mixed into the post-game. Like gym leader rematches where Jaun would take over the 8th gym and likewise Wallace becoming the champion for the round two elite four rematches, and after clearing all that being able to find a super boss version of Steven in meteor falls. Also, Emerald's "Magma" hideout could have maybe been repurposed for a post game event featuring the team the player didn't battle in the main game. As for BD/SP, even if they were never going to put the Platinum changes in the main game, I think they could have at least done something more with the post-game. Like when going to Turnback Cave, finding Cyrus there also looking for Giratina and then following him through a portal into the distortion world.

[@thomasator1139]

I think the worst thing for bdsp is that there’s no reason to play them. Platinum is just better in every way. They only added the grand underground and fairy type and took away so much more. I also miss third versions. People say that it’s essentially paying for the same game again, which is kinda true, but nowadays they have dlc that used to be things that would be included in the third version as postgame. And dlc doesn’t fix the problems with the main game the way third versions do. I’d rather pay for another game that is complete and I can go back and replay years later to get a full experience instead of replaying a half finished game

[@ESparendro836253]

It's easy to know, Pokémon games past Gen 3 need not to be remade. Gen 1 altough good was a mess with a lot of bugs and unintended interactions so a remake was sensible. Gen 2 games were amazing but a lot of pokemon movesets were lacking and with a remake you could also introduce que physical/special split, natures and abilities and also had it's own sum of bugs aswell (limitiations of the Game Boy I suppose). Gen 3 games could be argued thet they also needn't to be remade but still they could introduce the physical/special split and also they got megaevolutions in it so at least there was something new. But this is where we stop, Gen 4 is alongside with Gen 5 where a lot of people believe Pokémon peaked. You have everything, abilities, physical/special split, held items, natures and a lot of cool mons and moves. This is why in gen 6 we got megaevos and all the subsequent gimmicks, because they though they coudn't refine the base combat more without being too complicated or overwhelming. It is true that Diamond and Pearl had huge issues but they made Platinum which solves most of them. Just thinking they remade Diamond and Pearl and it's so much worse than Platinum just makes me laugh. I'm unironically glad they skipped Gen 5 remakes to do the new Legends ZA. I didn't want to make such a bible but I got passionate, I didn't even watch the video to be honest, I'm that guy. He might talk about this or something completely different I kinda jumped ahead of myself but I got my opinion out so I'm happy.

[@phil2160]

I'm sorry I'm writing all of these comments, but at 20:56 I'm actually glad they streamlined the Constests into a rhythm minigame, as someone who collect ribbons on the Switch games. Edit : yeah that's fair. I imagine it's to advertise something as "new content" or perhaps they thought the Contests' mechanics were too obscure and that's why they decided to streamline it.

[@dm7626]

the mechanical core being established by gen 4 is probably the main reason that remakes feel less needed as time goes by. also, my batteries are dead in my gen1-3 games vs gen 4 onwards. i think people wouldn’t hate bdsp so much if the art style wasn’t like that lol (what i mean by this is mostly that the instant negative reaction made people go into it with the view that it wouldn’t be good) edit: a really good point you made that i had never considered is that oras is a re-imagining and this is part of the reason that it is a different experience to the gen3 games

[@Dan55888]

The lazy and bad art style prefectly represents how lazy and half assed BDSP is. They did very little to bring it to modern times, mechanics and even programming polish. They arbitrarily made things even easier until the sudden spike at the Pokemon league, the used to FAR inferior Diamond and Pearl, incorperating way less of Platinum than ORAS did with Emerald... You can literally get just as much gameplay if not MORE from just playing a Platinum emulator/the original than you do from BDSP. Maybe if they didnt take backwards steps with making TMs not reusuable anymore, worse graphics and playstyle than previous remakes and did seemingly 0 quality checks....MAYBE then it wouod have been passible even with the shitty chibi style

no they remakes. And remakes are meant to be faithful. people can stop saying it is more like a remaster because it isn't.

The hottest take of all: HGSS actually kinda suck. First, they inherit many of G&S's worst problems. The difficulty curve is still trash, Johto Pokemon are still consistently disappointing if they're even readily available, and the world and campaign (while admittedly improved) still feel like two underbaked games stitched haphazardly together. Secondly, HGSS iron out some of the charmingly exploitable balance issues that actually made G&S fun to replay from time to time, such as early Special elemental punches or the Geodude line's absolute dominance. What's left is a slog of mediocrity where you'll almost never have a satisfyingly powerful Johto-themed team by the time you get to the climax of the game.

[@alpha-sama]

@@ForrestFox626 A good curve means that while the player's team gets better throughout the game by leveling up and more team building options, the opponents in the game should get stronger at a similar pace, with higher levels and more Pokemon in their teams. Gen 2 fails miserably at this. Gyms 5-7 and all the Team Rocket battles in between are way too easy. And that's the small flaw in the curve. The big flaw is all of Kanto. Being after the Elite 4 means the gym leaders should be as strong or stronger than Lance, but they're all laughably weak. And this creates yet another problem: With their low levels, you barely have opportunity to level up, meaning that you will be massively underleveled against Red.

[@ultimate_pleb]

11:40 yeah and it's optional so just turn it off and play without megas and that game is arguably harder then emerald **arguably**

[@saiyan4414]

also the let's Go games were more of a remake of yellow.

[@DryBones271]

Due to BDSP being such a copy/paste of DP, I would go as far to say, they are HD Ports or remasters.

[@goodsamaritangaming1997]

I think ORAS is my favorite and I never played gen 3 (just FRLG). HGSS is good overall, but they should really have fixed the level curve.

[@MarcoInWhite]

thanks for the vid

[@SkydrawnIV]

I still want a Let's Go Johto, but preferably a remake that is NOT like BDSP, but a lot better as a remake should be. Just anything Johto, it was such a letdown this year to have nothing announced for it as this year is the 25th anniversary of Gold and Silver and 15th anniversary of HGSS.

[@whitestararmada103]

the only pokemon games that need remakes now are the spinoffs, most notably pokemon rangers and pinball. any more mainline games are just a greedy cashgrab lol

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl should be renamed, "Pokemon Diamond and Pearl: The Definitive Edition"

[@WeJoke.]

Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green is one of the fav game of mine and Hg and Ss is just great with the post game.

[@TheSkinnyZ]

You can’t evolve Eevee in Let’s Go?! I never knew that! 😮 (I don’t own a Switch, so the last games I played were the 3DS ones, don’t come for me.)

[@antiseize11]

That was a misstatement he said. You can evolve Eevee and Pikachu in Let's Go just the same as you would on the original Gen 1 games.

[@Accidental.Creation]

HGSS would've been a lot better if they actually fixed the ridiculous level curve from the originals.

[@rogue1248]

Besides that issue its still the best remake to exist.

[@RowanTS]

The problem is we’re never going to be able to break past their current philosophy, which is to lower people’s expectations so that less needs to be provided in future. Like how it turned out they were deliberately making more boring pokemon to bulk out recent dexes so that there wouldn’t be much call for those particular pokemon to be included again in the future. There’s actually no benefit to them in doing any more than the minimum if they’re content with the amount of money they’re making and they are - the only light in the dark is that Nintendo were not happy with something that made their hardware look bad and a flagship franchise being seen as glitchy because it reflected poorly on them, and that /might/ have a chance of producing change. But it’ll only be the bigger dog they’ll listen to, not users.

[@gavinaaric]

BDSP felt so fresh playing a 2d tiled game, though it had no gimmicks. XY and ORAS were miles better because of that reason

[@xuavrice2338]

BDSP wasn’t 2d nor tiled

[@GothAtheist]

ORAS was trash compared to RSE ngl

[@gavinaaric]

@ maybe emerald, but it’s 100% better than RS

The better not mess up the gen 5 remakes!!!

[@tripled2096]

What "happened" was people throwing a fit when oras (the best remakes) came out because they werent emerald and TPCI saw all the nonsense complaints about them and thought that it was genuine feedback

[@siuchaos2606]

It's so annoying honestly, I remember when the ORAS remake came out which had some flaws sure, but was all in all a very solid remake I was very excited for the future of Pokemon remakes. Being that Gen 4 was my absolute favorite generation, I was elated at the prospect of a Gen 4 remake, but when they announced BDSP I immediately lost all interest, seeing the fact that it wasn't even developed by Game Freak but by a mobile game dev, that its graphics were literally just the exact 2D graphics with less personality in a soulless chibi style. It wasn't even a remake, it was literally an inferior port, I compare it to the GTA Trilogy remaster which literally just looked worse than the original and was a downgrade, a lot like how BDSP was a complete downgrade from Pokemon Platinum.

[@yukijadenfilms3425]

I blame TikTok.

[@leezuregamr]

Love BDSP

[@Dan55888]

See people kept accepting less and less for pokemon so TPC/Nintendo got lazy because they know people wouod buy anything with "Pokemon" slapped on it. People saw the chibi shit and write it off as "artistic" when really it was just lazy the whole time

[@oliverleonard7730]

LGPE was probably the worst remake and HGSS was probably the best.

[@alecks8432]

Dang, the only ones i played are impostors i guess 😢

[@PaPaSea]

The imposter is only in the middle

[@doot1269]

I was really hoping for a ORAS style reimagining for BDSP, with gen 8 features like a wild area, raids, dynamax, dynamax adventures for legendaries etc The games from gen 3 onwards are all still playable enough that they don't really need to be remade, so they need to go above and beyond to be worth it imo.
