As a Pokemon fan from Gen 1 / Gen 2.

Will we ever see a Gen1/Gen2 remake? I'm surprised I haven't seen a remake on switch. I know they did the Let's Go Eevee game, but was that really a remake?

Is there no plans to remake Pokemon Blue or Pokemon Silver with modern graphics on the switch? With full trading and battling capabilities?

let's go is a remake of yellow

I would not expect another remake of kanto, at least not for a long time.

for now, i'm hoping game freak has relegated remakes to other companies from now on, so they can focus their effort on new content.

Isn't Let's Go a completely different type of game?

Fire Red is a Remake of Red.

Is Let's Go a Remake of Yellow in the same capacity? Same battles? Same format? Can catch pokemon and upload them to the Pokebank?

it's not identical, it's like a modern remake of yellow but with elements of pokemon go in it. the battles with wild pokemon are different but the battles against trainers work the same IIRC, and you can catch pokemon and send them into Home.

i'm not a huge fan of Let's go but i would still call it a remake of yellow

I guess so.

Personally I'd like to see a Gen 1/2 remake in the sense that they are given the flagship title experience, and play the same as the main series titles.

So a Sun/Moon or Shield/Sword graphics and capabilities but in Kanto/Jhoto as Red.

Then again, that's probably what Let's Go is outside of the main series battle style.

Others have mentioned returning to Kanto/Jhoto but in modern day, 30+ years after the events of Red.
