Topic: Pokemon Diamond/Pearl 3D REMAKE

Everyone's all talking about Pokemon Z... But I thought it would be cool if there was a thread about this!
Eh? I'm not the only one right? Hello?

My guess is this.
2016 - Z - 2017 - Gen 1 remake - 2018 - Gen 7 - 2019 Gen 4 remake.

Though I could be wrong, who knows.

I think it would be more like:

2016 Z
2017 Gen 7
2018 Gen 7 sequels
2019 Gen 8
2020 Gen 4 remakes
2021 Gen 8 Sequel

I'm seeing this trend:
Gen 4 = 2nd gen remake
Gen 6 = 3rd gen remake
gen 8 = 4th gen remake

Well, the current trend is "new console=remakes".

Pokemon Platinum should get the remake... Not Diamond or Pearl.

And limit the fans to buying the game only once?

The safest bet for gen 4 remakes is diamond and pearl. With minor references to platinum.

Platinum is the complete and best game out of the three... I hope Gamefreak pushes aside their greed and just remakes Pokemon Platinum. I know I'm in the minority. Lol

@Blast: I mean, the ORAS remakes were pretty good and didn't really lose out on anything that Emerald had. Overall I felt Gen IV was pretty lackluster. Most of my playtime was for metagame stuff.

Oh yeah... Diamond and Pearl remakes might actually be good. Lol I'm dumb.

Gen 1 is in the most need of a remake currently. It is the only generation currently that cannot be played on the 3DS. I also think it is the generation that would gain the most improvement from the new 3D style.

I actually really like D&P. Unfortunately I could never buy platinum, so I wouldn't mind if the inevitable remakes included elements from it.

If Gen 1 gets a remake they need to add more because the few islands they added in LG/FR was not enough

Completely agree with this.

However when they do remake Gen 4, I think they should do it in a similar way to HGSS — base it on Diamond and Pearl, however adding features from Platinum to keep everything a bit more up-to-date. They should definitely expand the Pokedex so that it matches Platinum at the very least, as I find the biggest weakness of Diamond and Pearl is that the selection of Pokemon is pretty poor.

Absolutely agree.

I'd rather we put this on a NX forum as it makes more sense really.

Assuming the NX is the next portable console.

It's going to happen, just not on 3DS. Probably whatever succeeds the 3DS like I dunno, a HDS with HD Mumbo Jumbo etc. Now that I would love to see painted onto my fav generation.

Didn't realize many people actually cared about Gen 4. After Gen 3 it was pretty much just going through the motions. A remake of Gen 1 makes more sense anyway; it's newest version is still a generation behind Gen 4.

While I would love to see another remake of gen 1... I actually would love even more if they did a 3D classics version of it.

With less bugs and refined mechanics, like the special stat separation from gen 2, all the new things from gen 3 and the move classifications from gen 4. But with the same graphics, just updated with 3D.

And maybe a way to load your Pokemon to Bank.

@Morpheel: A 3D classic remake is absolutely a better idea. I LOVE the original sprites, graphics, and (most) sounds. Since Pokemon games are never going to release on a VC, a 3D Classic release would be a way that they could tweak certain things while still keeping the game largely intact.

Staying on topic, Gen IV remakes would absolutely need an expansion of the pre-E4 Pokedex. One of the worst parts of the game was the lack of Fire types. If you didn't select Infernape (never did and never will), I believe your only other Fire option was Rapidash. Otherwise the Pokedex was just lackluster.

A D/P/PT remake would only interest me for Cynthia, the only aspect of Gen IV that wasn't underwhelming or boring. She carried the whole generation for me.
