Will the Next Pokemon Games Be Remakes of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl?

pokemondiamondandpearl
Remakes of older games have long been a tradition in the Pokemon franchise, dating all the way back to the release of Pokemon FireRed and Pokemon LeafGreen over 10 years ago. Typically, Game Freak will release one remake per "Generation," partially to fill time and keep players interested until the next new games come out. Most recently, Game Freak and Nintendo released Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire in 2014, which were remakes of the 2003 games Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire.
Many fans have assumed that remakes of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl would eventually come out, and a trailer for the new Pokemon movie provides a hint that they could be the next games in the series. The trailer reveals that Ash will team up with two new trainers to find the Legendary Pokemon Ho-Oh. What's interesting is that both those trainers have partner Pokemon from the Sinnoh region, despite the movie allegedly taking place during the earliest days of Ash's adventures.
Piplup and Lucario are arguably the two most popular Pokemon introduced in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and been featured in various games and merchandise for years. Lucario got its own movie back in 2006 and was a featured Pokemon in both Pokemon X & Y and Pokken Tournament. Meanwhile, Piplup appeared in the Pokemon anime for years as Dawn's partner Pokemon.
Although the inclusion of Piplup and Lucario in the new movie isn't a guarantee that the next Pokemon games will be Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes, it's definitely a likely nod to where the games will go next. There's even a precedent for using the Pokemon movies to hint at future games, as previous movies have revealed new Pokemon or other new information about the next set of games.
With the reveal of Marshadow earlier today, it definitely looks like the Pokemon franchise is starting to pick up steam for a busy summer. Stay tuned to WWG's Pokemon page for more news about the popular game franchise as it happens.

Nintendo's Failure To Give The Switch A Proper Pokémon Game Is Inexcusable

Nintendo/Paul Tassi The Dream Yesterday was a strange day for Nintendo fans who tuned into a new Pokémon Direct hoping for some relatively simple news: Pokémon is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Of course, technically, that did happen, but only in the form of Pokken Tournament getting ported over from the Wii U to the Switch in a new “Deluxe” package . But the fully-fledged Pokémon games featured in the show, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and Gold and Silver for Virtual Console, were relegated to the 3DS. After the show, there was a brief flare-up of hope that due to a rogue listing, it appeared that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon may get a Switch release after all, but The Pokémon Company quickly shut that rumor down , saying the listing was a mistake. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are 3DS only, and there are no plans to bring them to the Switch. The two magic words everyone was looking for yesterday were “Pokémon Stars,” the long rumored, even offic...

New storyline gives lapsed ‘Pokémon Go’ players a reason to reinstall

The  Pokémon Go craze has definitely fizzled out over the last year or so, with several key promised features still not released yet, but lapsed trainers now have a reason to reinstall the game again. This week, new “field research” quests add narrative to what has largely been a player-driven multiplayer experience thus far. “A series of mysterious happenings is occurring all over the world, and Professor Willow is seeking trainers to help him found out if this is connected to the mythical Pokémon Mew,” Niantic said in an update post . “These research tasks will become available to trailers around the world later this week!” There will be two different categories of research during the event: “Field research” and “special research.” The former type can be triggered by visiting Pokéstops, and will task trainers with completing raids or gym battles or catching a certain type of Pokémon. Special research missions are longer, with trainers having to complete several ...
