Pokémon fans, do you really want a Gen 4 remake after how Sword and Shield was handled?
- Thread starter Everlasting_Cyclone
- Start date
Things could get better? But as it is now, I'm done with mainline Pokemon.
Not sure why I keep giving them chances, ever since the DS they really haven't been the same.

I honestly thought the whole point of there being DLC was to give themselves more time in between releases so if DP remakes really are coming this year then I expect them to be barebones.
Why is the poll different from the thread title?
Anyhow...I could go with or without Sinnoh remakes. They might be great, or they might end up a step down from Platinum. And this is coming from someone who liked ORAS.

First, that is an awful poll.
Second, SwSh isn't even the reason to worry but Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are. Those two games were awful that didn't pull anything from the superior Emerald version, so I feel like D/P remakes would do the same dumb fucking bullshit again ignoring Platinum even though it's also clearly superior to D/P.

Well I think your two comments speak for themselves if you're not even going to engage with anything that either user you quoted said.
There's plenty to improve upon even in Platinum, which is probably my favourite Pokemon game. But man the HMs suuuuuuck.
All main-series Pokemon RPGs are great. I tried to finished the Mystery Dungeon demo but honestly couldn't stand it. Sword and Shield, though not the best in the franchise, are still better than Ni No Kuni and Dragon Quest XI S. The sales figures don't lie, everybody loves Pokémon! I'd rather play Pokémon than any other franchise.
They haven't made a good Pokemon game since HGSS.
HGSS was a good remake because it integrated all the things we liked about Gen IV. (Abilities, Physical/Special, Post Games)
ORAS wasn't a good remake because it integrated the things we don't like about GEN VII. (Lack of post game, New EXP Mechanics, Handholding)

What a flawed OP
There's no « national pokedex » fiasco outside of the bubble of some gamers and the vast majority of people owning the games seem to be prety satisfied
As much as « dexiters » wanted the game to fail in order to be vindicated, they've been proven to be nothing more than a vocal nuisance.
So yes, my gf and I would welcome a new game or a remake with eagerness.

I do. Not because I expect it's going to be as good as the originals, but because I don't think they're going to get much better and it would be cool to see Sinnoh in HD.
Really, it's ORAS that makes me more concerned. I think that's the first game in the series that I thought was HUGELY worse than the one before (XY). It's been a slow climb up to mediocre since then, and I hope they don't take another plunge like that again.

Am I wrong to feel that Gen 3 remakes felt like a demake in terms of artstyle? The 2D sprites were beautiful but were just average looking when translated into 3D in ORAS.
HGSS felt like a huge leap even though they were still using 2D sprites just like the original Gen 2.
For Gen 4 remake, I really think they need to work on the 3D overworld to make it more appealing somehow, i wish they would borrow artstyles from other Nintendo games like Breath of the Wild or Link's Awakening.

I'm confident they wouldn't dare touching the level design of the original Sinnoh, I think the main issues would come from a visual standpoint (I don't want it to look like Let's GO) and from the postgame (because Platinum had the Battle Frontier). In general I'd prefer them to wait.
The worst thing about XY is that they tell you that your mother is a former Rhyhorn riding champion and there is no rhyhorn riding minigame. they even put the supposed circuit there but skipped the minigame ç_ç
Honestly looking back, XY was just a third version away from being redeemed and being a gen people talked fondly about. Address story criticism and add some post game content and people would be thrilled.
Now. These conversations are sometimes like "I wish Metroid Prime 4 would be released directly on Switch 2 so it would have better graphics," and then people would want it on Switch 3. If they delay Diamond and Pearl remakes then when they announce them you will want it later anyway. It will never be the right time.
I've been seeing the same thing for years with Ocarina of Time.
"No, they should wait to have graphics like PS3." Now it is "No, let them do the remake when there are graphics like PS4". And the next generation will be "It's not worth doing a remake of Ocarina of Time as long as it doesn't have PS5 graphics."

I dunno. I'm starting to come to terms that I may not be able to become a Pokemon Master. Whatever the heck that means.
I would say take your time, do it right, finish the last third of the game, not like sw/sh...
but then again, i thought Sw/Sh was so slightly above bad, that im done with pokemon for now. One of the shortest and least fun and satisfying entries...for a higher price.

A good Skating minigame is the only way to ever top GWENT for best rpg game within a game.
I had a good time with Sword and Shield, but I don't really need or want a Sinnoh remake at this time. To be completely frank I'd rather have a Let's Go Johto.
Enough with the remakes, after the half-baked Sword and Shield it's so clear that Game Freak needs to pour all their energy and resources into bringing the main series into the modern era. Remakes will have to be outsourced if they are to continue, that's what everyone else does.
I think DP remakes could be solid. SwSh messed up in a lot of areas, but there's also a lot of potential there that just wasn't given the time and effort it needed. With the improvements the DLC seems to be making in terms of route and level design, a team more experienced with Switch development, and the better story structure and world of the 4th gen games, a DP remake could be quite good.
It's difficult to have confidence in the series after Sword/Shield, I'm not even sure I'll play their next project even if it is a remake of one of my favourite gens.
I was a lifelong Pokemon fan, but I didn't buy S/S. If GF couldn't scale up now, they never will. One of the biggest and most profitable franchises ever deserves a larger dev studio and more dev time.
I don't also feel for any more remakes, we could use the series moving forward, not looking back.

I honestly was severely disappointed with SwSh because of its mediocre graphics, boring ass wild area, laughably low amount of new pokemon, ridiculously easy difficulty, lack of post-game content, awful linearity and fucking garbage story; However I never played DP so I can't say anything here
I don't think remakes are that hard to mess-up (Especially considering that the recent Let's Go games were better products than Sword&Shield) but I would prefer if the DP remakes had more time to at least look decent.
No please, save it until after Gen 9 or whenever TPC finally decides Pokemon has to evolve. I don't want a DP remake if it isn't much better than what was possible on 3DS.
Nah Dont make anymore remakes. It's clear a lot of people dont want current Gamefreak to even do it so what's the point. Just spend the time to make a meaty big Pokemon game, give it like five years then release one. Lay on the DLC in the meantime with a bit of spin offs here and there.
Because many more people would want it. Today Sinnoh has been TT and millions of people would buy and enjoy them.
That's the point.
