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.

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 ...

Pokémon Sun and Moon - how and where to catch Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini

The Guardian Tapu Pokémon are Sun and Moon's version of the typical sub-legendaries that have been a new-generation staple ever since the Legendary Dogs Suicune, Raichu and Entei, way back in gen two. They're some of the best Pokémon in the game, thanks to dedicated Z Moves, abilities, and excellent stats, and so well worth your time. Each Tapu acts as a guardian for it's own island - Tapu Koko for Melemele, Tapu Lele for Akala, Tapu Bulu for Ula'Ula , and Tapu Fini for Poni Island - and are all found in their island's corresponsing ruins: the Ruins of Conflict , Ruins of Life , Ruins of Abundance , and Ruins of Hope , respectively. A final warning, too: the Tapu are only catchable after you've completed the main storyline of Sun and Moon, and so major spoilers follow below. Check out our complete Pokémon Sun and Moon walkthrough if you're still trying to finish it! Where to find and how to catch Tapu Koko - the Ruins of Conflict Tapu Ko...

Curious announcement in Pokémon GO Live’s Newsletter – Event starting April 10?!

Trainers, in the past few hours, some trainers have reported receiving a very curious email Newsletter from Pokémon GO Live, and we have managed to put our hands on it (thanks to pokeRangerCam, one of our Discord members) The Newsletter covers a variety of topics ranging from the recent addition of Research, the Pokémon GO Earth Day Cleanup, April Community Day (our guide here ), Gym Leader Avatar clothing, to a spotlight on Nidos Pokémon GO Argentina . However, the curious announcement we are referring to consists of three very short lines at the very end of the Newsletter. The announcement goes as follows: Trainers, starting April 10, we’ll be hosting a special celebration in honor of the Kanto region in Pokémon GO! Keep your eyes on the official Pokémon GO website and social media channels for more information surrounding this event. As we all know, it doesn’t take much for the Pokémon GO community to speculate, but such a vague statement certainly allows peo...
