It Looks Like Gold And Silver Will Feature In The Next 'Pokémon Presents'

Let's Go, to Johto! ?
Let's Go, Ho-oh! & Lugia! ?
Let's Go, Pichu! & Togepi! ?
Legends: Suicune ?

I'm not joking when I say I'd pay $60 for a HeartGold/Soul Silver port on Switch.

Gold and Silver. Black and White. Either way, I'm game.

Please be a proper remake, and not a go version.

I’d love a sequel to the let’s go story

@jco83 Let's Go Pichu and Togepi is a really good guess. My vote is for that one to be the most likely.

Doesn't YouTube apply these automatically? At least some of the time? Because it can be wrong

I really hope the Let's Go Johto rumors aren't true. Let's Go was kind of inoffensive enough I guess but I'd legit rather pay $60 for a Crystal ROM than for another one of those things.

For all we know it's featured in just another one of those 'look how far the series has come' reels that is meant to pander to nostalgia. I'm not believing anything until I see something official.

Its probably nothing, because YouTube does this automatically with any gaming video. I doubt they'll put anything there when it drops

Come on, Nintendolife, That is NOT a hint.

My evidence: the Dortmund Regional Championships VGC Finals match that they uploaded three days ago links to Pokémon Sword and Shield…when that game isn’t used (or even talked about in the video) at all. Same with the one they posted for the Knoxville Regional Championships Top 4 match between Luca Paz and Toler Webb uploaded 12 days ago.

The fact that such an obvious mistake happened twice leads to one conclusion: those game connections you cited are not applied by the uploaders themselves (or at least they weren’t in these instances). Not to mention, the music used in that short isn’t even from Gold and Silver.

And for crying out loud, the article from Nintenduo used as a source even mentions that YouTube applies those Game tags to help facilitate searching for videos and that it could be a mistake.

@Olliemar28 I would greatly suggest editing or even deleting this article.

Edit: Looks like an addendum has been added. It’s not much, but hey, it’s something.

@Jiggies That would be MUCH cheaper than trying to buy them on DS at this point, lol.

I actuall still have them on DS, and a Switch release would impact their value but...they should 1000% percent release them for Switch. What a great way to cap the generation.

Since we already had Heart Gold and Soul Silver I’m still thinking Black / White. Or maybe Gray / Grey.😂

Let's Go version would extremely disappointing.

Legends and just the classics (to buy!! not NOL) would be preferred.

A 2D / 2dHD top down remake would be a dream.

Years ago, people were begging for "Let's Go! Johto" even though people thought Let's Go was mid.

Give them what they want, I'm suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure people are gonna love it!

(me personally I'm hoping for a Pokemon Rhythm Game)

Black Gold and White Silver (Only kidding. This would be confusing naming).

I'm not expecting much from this Direct. Maybe the originals on the NSO? I've been anticipating Let's Go: Johto for the past few years so maybe this year will be the one. I don't want to see the gen 5 remakes at all. I feel like it would be too soon for them. Meaning that not enough work was done to do them the justice they deserve. Would be a repeat of BDSP.
Other than that, usual mobile games. Updates to Unite/Masters/Cafe etc. Then maybe a movie or an animated special. Something like that.

Yeah not gonna lie this is a nothing news story because honestly YouTube kinda just slaps games onto videos even when it doesn’t apply. Trust me it could be Gold And Silver related but obviously it can’t be revealed yet but I remember the nightmare that was Nintendo Life’s Review of Live A Live being under the remake year and then say Vinny Vinesauce and many others stream VODS on YouTube being under the SNES one.

If we do get something GS related, I'd love a Legends style reimagining of Johto rather than a Lets Go style remake. I just played through Crystal. So it would be nice to go through Johto in a bit of different way.

GameBoy versions in the NSO gameboy app.

That is what I hope

I expect let's go games, but after the previous one I am not excited for that.

Don't get me wrong, they are fine but I don't like tge catch mechanic (not on a true console like the Switch) and they were the barebone versions, not something like FRLG.

If they were remakes of HGSS specifically I feel like it'd be that Game Category instead. New Let's GO games would be interesting but feel unlikely with how mixed people felt about the originals with more popular Pokemon. A Legends game taking place in Johto & Kanto as one Region before separating would be cool. But most likely just RBY & GSC coming to NSO, maybe with Home support if we're lucky.

I really want another Let's Go game. Thought they were better than most of their other efforts on Switch.

They are the weakest on the series. Gold and Heart Gold are my least played games (the only Pokémon games that I have less than 100 hours), so for me, it is bad.

Probably a Let's GO Misdreavus Marill.

How to put this...

I didn't like Let's Go _____ and seems much too late for a sequel, but I would buy Let's Go Johto over a BDSP-style remake (just).

Whatever it is I’m not sure I want it to be a remake with the art style like diamond and Pearl.

@Yamber I feel like the 8ssue with the BDSP remakes wasn't an issue of time persay. Just effort. If Gen 5 remakes are announced, we won't really have any indication on how long they've been in development.

@Martijn87 Or even worse, a chibi BDSP "remake".

I really want a Legends Ho-Oh and Lugia to see the story of the tin and bell towers

ooooh! nice. just as i've finished more or less with lg eevee.

well hot dog.

Unpopular Opinion: The ‘Let’s Go’ games suck and can’t be compared to a traditional Gameboy game or the likes of ‘Arceus’..

So I really hope it’s Gold/Silver in the style of Arceus

This is quite literally misinformation. Youtube auto-asssigns games like these in the section based off guesses by a bot. I see it get games wrong literally 60% of the time, often even assigning games when there are none in a video. I seriously reccomend actually researching and learning more about how stuff like this works before posting an article like this

I desperately hope they bring the PokeWalker back, and in a color device like a tamagotchi with more features! Not go cheap and do some dumb app on a phone or something! The biggest charm of HeartGold and SoulSilver is the Pokewalker!

Unless it's a legends game, I couldn't give two Makuhitas about it

@PikaPhantom Whenever I upload captured gameplay footage from my PS5, I would have to manually change the game listing on YouTube's website.

So yes, this is an automatic process and therefore potentially misleading by mistake.

I’ve seen the wrong game listed underneath a video many times. I mean, I hope I’m wrong cause I love Johto but it could just be YouTube’s algorithm assuming a random Pokemon game.

If they announce another Let’s Go, i’ll freak out. Pokemon Yellow was my favorite Pokemon and LG Pikachu supplanted it.
I wouldn’t mind if they did a chibi remake ala Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
I never played HeartGold and SoulSilver. But everyone else has, so i think a Let’s Go would be more likely.
Damnit, why did Let’s Go enter the conversation, now i have hope.
Hope sucks.

My bet is on a Legends Celebi / Legends Johto. It’s a great, small Pokédex full of favorites, and would likely do a good job bringing in older players that left the games.

And I think we don’t have an in game Celebi this Gen, plus they could incorporate the paradox Entei Raikou Suicune somehow like the rifts in Legends Arceus.

I would love ports of SS/HG.
I would hate another lazy Lets Go gimmick fest. But chances are its a Lets Go game :/

It could just be applied randomly. I've seen things like Vinesauce clips that have completly different games cited in the notes.

@BoiAster oh please no. Don't know wich one is worse. In the style of Scarlett and violet but, maybe better, would be great. But it's gamefreak so we should prepare for the worst and hope for the best these days.

@Jiggies And Nintendo knows it lol, you're the problem

I guess it’s been long enough since SV that they could be doing another remake but we’re at the end of the Switch life cycle here. Unless it’s a surprise launch of this year, I would just expect the original GB releases to shore up on NSO.

I hope it's not a let's go game, if so then this may be the first Pokémon game I don't play.

Legends Celebi would be a dream come true!! A Kyoto-style Johto region would be amazing, and hopefully with more villages than Legends Arceus' single hub town.

Another Let's Go would actually be really fun! I loved Let's Go's vibrant, watercolor art style, but my only hope would be to make the humans less chibi, more like Sword/Shield's proportions.

What I want the most however, is a gen6 Kalos remake/sequel! A full 3D remake of the French region would be incredible, although at this point I would rather wait for the Switch 2, just to really maximize the potential beauty of the environments.

Let’s Go Eevee and Pikachu are better than the originals and I loved the changed battle mechanics for wild Pokemon. Really hoping to see Let’s Go Gold and Silver

If leaks are to be believed, the main announcement will be… the chibi version of Black/White 😣

Any Johto representation, I'll take it! Let's Go, Legends, HGSS remake, Mystery Dungeon, give me something! Gen 2 >>>>> every other Generation, fully biased on that opinion and I will die on this hill.

Honestly I don't think that means anything and we're probably just getting mobile game updates.

@UmbreonsPapa I think the biggest issue is that they weren't produced in-house at Game Freak. Only so much creative freedom can be given to a third party for a remake. Considering that the games were released buggy, and fixed afterwards, indicates that time was an issue. Probably rushed to make the holiday season. Effort could be an issue too though.
Those games were released just over two years ago. With S/V's DLC being worked on throughout last year, it doesn't really leave a whole lot of room for a good take on Gen V. Unless another studio does it. I'd like to be proven wrong though!

@Edwirichuu Whose problem anyway? Not mine.

They always do a nostalgia montage everytime, could be that.

Been wondering if ds games could come to nso

I'm hoping for Legends AND Let's Go, but I'll settle for either one. However, I'd much rather have Legends and have the old games added to NSO.

@PikaPhantom thats what i was gonna say yt just does that automatically but idk why it chose gold and silver specifically

@Edwirichuu dont be a goober be nice

As much as I loved heart gold, I'd love a lets go johto game instead. Let's go was a fun experience.

Oh lordy loo, I hope it's not a Let's Go game. Not a fan of that format; FRLG is still the definitive Kanto experience by quite a significant margin. Now a Legends game, that sounds super dope.

@epicgamner I meant it jokingly though there's some truth to it. No harm intended

@Jiggies Technically will be if you love paying for remasters and ports at the usual Nintendo $60. Just seems unfair

People are going to go crazy here if it's Let's Go Wooper.

Legends Celebi and you can sign me up. I posted on one of the articles that I'd probably get a let's go togepi too, and I'll stand by that. Johto is still one of my favourite regions.

@Edwirichuu youre not wrong but the conversation around pokemon is already so unbearably shout-ey so anything we can do to de-escalate it the better

@PikaPhantom
Exactly what I thought, though it is a bit weird that YouTube would default to automatically choosing Gold/Silver instead of the countless other Pokemon titles in existence.

I tested it, and it turns out game titles are not auto-generated on Shorts. They have to be chosen manually (unless it's dependent on the popularity of the channel). Either way, it's not concrete evidence.

Legends Celebi

I'm praying we get stadium connectivity on NSO!!
It would be so awesome finally getting to use my own trained Pokemon in that again! 🤎

I'm really letting the Pokemon games line up in my backlog... Just realized I haven't finished the pearl remake, the sword dlc, legends Arceus or Violet. Oh and new snap. And now gold might be coming? Not sure if I'm going off Pokemon at this point, I've never not finished a Pokemon game before the switch came out...

But gold/silver is probably my favorite entry, so it might be hard to resist...

Take my money!

If it was going to be a Let's Go game, it would have made more sense for it to have been made immediately after Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, or at least shortly after Sword/Shield were released given that they could easily have recycled virtually the entirety of the game's assets. All they would have to do from there is add Johto (and its Pokémon) to it.

I can't see Game Freak recycling all of those assets from a 2018 game in 2024... or would they? Actually, don't answer that.

Either way, we're due for either Gen II or V remakes this year, and whichever one we don't end up getting, I hope will at least get barebones ports by the middle of the year (preferably Gen II; better yet if they port over the DS games as well).

And if we get Gen V remakes, then they'd better damn well include the sequels as well, but considering that TPCi ignored virtually all of Platinum's improvements in the Gen IV remakes, I can't say that I am particularly optimistic in that regard.

I'm bracing for disappointment though.

Chicorita Fortnite skin.😎

I’d love a Legends game that is set in Kalos back 3000 years ago with that war that the big guy and his Floette were involved with

Pokemon Crystal has always been my favourite Pokemon game. Even though I’m off the train now regarding Pokemon, I’d def buy a Let’s Go style remake day one.

Give us another Legends game!

I feel like a lot of the other comments here seem mad to me, I thought the let's go games were the best pokemon games in years and would love another let's go game.

Even if it could mean nothing, I have been thinking as of recently that an open-world Gold/Silver remake with the PLA mechanics would be a perfect rite of passage for Game Freak for a good modern Pokémon game, but then Palworld came...
To be honest I just want them to focus on one big game at a time, you have other devs to work on main games in the meantime.

GOLD/SILVER/CRYSTAL was best of the classic Pokemon games. Gave you TWO regions to explore, 16 gym leaders, and satisfying post game

Id rather get GSC on Nintendo Online than Let's Go remakes.

The best case scenario: full remakes or a legends style game of gen 2.

The worst case scenario: a chibi remake ala BDSP.

@Arawn93 you check out the Crystal Legacy fan game? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeJBVY3z_uE It's really good.

Maybe they'll distribute the johto legendaries

Oooh I would absolutely love to return to a past Johto inspired by Heian period or Nara period in a new Legends game.

I doubt this will happen but I feel like the "Samurai age" would be a good fit for a past Johto since it's already inspired by Kyoto.

But if I had to guess I would say that we won't see anything major unless it's something developed by a partner studio like the Diamond and Pearl remakes. Because I bet that they internally are working on a game for Nintendo's next system and even if they plan on releasing it on both the Switch and "Switch 2" I bet they would wait with announcing it until the "Switch 2" is unveiled.

It's more likely that we'll see some gen2 distribution event for Scarlet and Violet I guess.

However the fact that we have ancient paradox Pokemon: Walking Wake (Suicune), Gouging Fire (Entei) and Raging Bolt (Raikou) in scarlet and violet could possibly be seen as a hint. Perhaps Legends: Johto Beasts will be a thing

And.... Nothing related to these games at all.

Glad to see this article age like milk. This is what you get for using shaky “evidence” to support a claim.
