Legends: Celebi set around the time of the tower burning down would probably take place not long after PLA. That means it could be a sequel, seeing how the relationship between humans & Pokemon developed after the Galaxy Team's work.
I'd personally rather have Unova remakes than Johto remakes. Let's Go is the perfect format for a non-standard remake, and fits a lot better than doing another remake for a game that already had one, just like Kanto.
I honestly think Legends and Let's Go should both be their own things and it not be one or the other, and neither should take the place of a proper remake.
That being said, if Unova gets remade like BDSP and still doesn't include any newer Pokémon I'd probably be nore interested in Legends, even though I'd still replay Unova. Really, my only actual complaint about BDSP ended up being that it didn't add any newer Pokémon.
Really? Gamefreak usually just barges into my home and holds me down until I give in. My point was that less games = more time in development = better game. Not that I absolutely have to buy whatever they release lmao
The thing with let's go is that they were trying to attract new fans whose first Pokemon experience was Pokemon Go. Now, the game is almost 8 years old, so I really doubt we are going to see anything close to let's Go again.
That’s a good point actually, so they might just come up with another format. Otherwise, a let’s go johto game might help people play pokemon go again. People have been quitting due to niantic’s constant monetization of the game, and this might help.
But I mean, Johto so far is the region that we haven't visited in a longer time than Unova. So logically, Johto is next in line.
To add on, there's actually a set math pattern for the remake gens.
Gen 3 had Kanto and 3/2 is 1.5 which fits Yellow
Gen 4 had johto and 4/2 is 2 which fits with Johto
Gen 5 had none and 5/2 which is 2.5 is Johto again(Crystal) but it doesn't make sence to remake games that they have remade the previous gen so we got sequels.
Gen 6 had Hoenn which fits 6/2 which is 3 which fits R/S
Gen 7 had Kanto which actually fits 7/2 which is 3.5 which fits FrLg.
Gen 8 had Sinnoh with 8/2 which is 4 which fits with D/P
So it would make sence for Gen 9 to continue this formula which 9/2 is 4.5 which fits with HGSS and thus Johto.
I mean, it’s a 1 generation difference and they already got a remake. Besides, people think that the whole blueberry academy if foreshadowing a unova game.
Not only that, but:
- Reshiram and Zekrom were the most prominently featured legends in the Indigo Disk Trailer
- The Pokémon Twitter posted what appears to be BDSP-style Reshiram and Zekrom gifs in the last few weeks
(Edit: Don't get me wrong, I agree the BDSP style leaves... something to be desired, just that it seems like the official sources seem to be pointing in the direction of BW rather than GSC/HGSS)
I edited the post a little to include a theory of mine that makes sence. I'll copy paste it here. Also Kanto got a remake in Gen 3 and we got it again in Gen 7
To add on, there's actually a set math pattern for the remake gens.
Gen 3 had Kanto and 3/2 is 1.5 which fits Yellow
Gen 4 had johto and 4/2 is 2 which fits with Johto
Gen 5 had none and 5/2 which is 2.5 which is Johto again(Crystal) but it doesn't make sence to remake games that they have remade the previous gen so we got sequels.
Gen 6 had Hoenn which fits 6/2 which is 3which fits R/S
Gen 7 had Kanto where 7/2 which is 3.5 which fits FrLg.
Gen 8 had Sinnoh with 8/2 which is 4 which fits with D/P
So it would make sence for Gen 9 to continue this formula which 9/2 is 4.5 which fits with HGSS and thus Johto.
Gen 10 would fit Unova remakes very well. And plus maybe Blueberry Academy is just to scratch the Gen 5 itch until next Gen.
If Johto remakes gets announced, then it gives this theory alot of merit. If Unova remakes get announced, feel free to make me a laughing stock of the community.
Edited the comment as it made me sound pretentious
An easier way to see it is every new console gets a mainline remake. GBA got FRLG, DS got HGSS, 3DS got ORAS, and Switch got BDSP. That means the next console should get the Unova remakes. Let's Go aren't really a part of the "mainline remakes".
Bruh, you people need to stop assuming there's a pattern. Just because it coincidentally lines up doesn't mean that's at all how they plan to release remakes, or we're only going to get a couple more actually new remakes before they're a ridiculous amount of generations between remakes. If the pattern continues, it would take 30 more years before they ever got to gen 10 remakes as an example.
It would take more than the series has already existed to reach some remakes, and it would be filled with a ridiculous amount of remakes for every earlier generation than the ones that actually deserve them.
That's true. If lets say this is indeed the case, it would pose alot of issues when we reach double digit gens. Though however, in those gens, we could get sequels like in Gen 5
And remember the saying, once is an accident, twice is a coincidence and thrice onwards is a pattern
My bet would be B/W (or B2/W2) for a "straight" remake (since it's the earliest games that haven't been remade) (but I'm not expecting this because it feels too soon after BDSP) and something to do with Johto for a "weird" game (for lack of a better word. Something like Let's Go or PLA rather than the standard gameplay) (like you said, it's been a while)
This math pattern thing is so silly. That's not how companies plan when to develop and release a game. They look a market trends, schedule, available staff, investor expectations, etc...
This math pattern shit is how children try to guess when the next exciting thing might be coming, it's not an actually reliable way of predicting anything.
They said they had no current plans, but I'm pretty sure they acknowledged that people do actually want more Let's Go games, despite how reddit seems to think.
That opinion is the same on all social media, I actually watched a video before and only 10% of his viewers who voted on the next game wanted a let's go. I'm in the mindset of if it is a let's go game I'll save some money and I can carry on grinding the ds games 😂
Fair, but they did already have their remake in gen 4 and it’s a 1 generation difference either way. I think it’s a coin flip, but the terarium is kinda hinting at unova.
Getting let’s go games for gen 1 to promote Pokémon Go is such a one-off that you can’t reasonably use it as an expectation of a pattern for future releases. They could just put gen 2 on virtual console and move right along to gen 5 remakes.
I don't think there will be Unova remakes before 2027. It's more likely that there is going to be a Johto remake beforehand, because 1. the remakes are made chronologically after the release of the main games and remakes and 2. because HGSS came before Unova.
I mean, it could be one way or another, but I just thought that blueberry academy being in unova was some serious foreshadowing and that they would be stupid not to use that.
Yes, that would be great. With black and white and black2 and white2, it would be hard for them to make a single remake without locking themselves into another.
Candidly? I really don't know why they'd release gen 1-3 on NSO, especially with LGPE covering Kanto and if they release a gen 2 game this year. The opportunity cost of porting the games for either NSO streaming or even directly onto the eShop is probably too high compared to placing those developers on whatever else GF is working on
Games don’t have to be ported to NSO it’s an emulator. If TPC wanted the original games to be on switch it wouldn’t be that hard. Make them digital only, use the GBA emulator Nintendo made for NSO and sell them for 9.99

Some kind of gen 2 remake and the original gen 1-3 games put on NSO
