It wasn't hyped like that as much as discussed that way through interviews. We learned it I think after Black/White was released, I am not entirely sure, it has been years since I read the article. But yeah, Gamefreak treats Gen 4 and Gen 5 as an End of one era and the beginning of another.
That's because the current set focuses on Sinnoh. Nothing more, nothing less. You are being too paranoid.
I said it in the same post, they have a specific countdown that focuses on the TCG for that very purpose. It just feels off to do that twice, especially for a part that is to highlight the adventures had in other regions is all.
This wouldn't be faster as they'd be making new assets from the ground up. Layouts wouldn't be the same either because GF would be making this in a different medium all together. The fidelity of the environmental assets alone would mean the game would take more manpower than SM.
Funny you say that but;
Note how the Sinnoh games are mysteriously absent in the game line up, but yet gen 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 are all there. Granted it could mean nothing as Crystal, Emerald, the Kanto remake and Black/White 2 are also absent as well.
We do expect Sinnoh remakes to happen, just not until Gen 8's first games come out. Of course, the anime could get a filler arc if we don't get Gen 8 this year, but I'm not sure when they'd announce that.
I had a thought like this the other day because I finally just finished Sun and got reminded of all the rumors that were previously flying because of all the Kanto references near the end game. I figure it was probably just 20th anniversary callbacks but it still got me thinking. That 'I Choose You' movie retconned Kanto to include pokemon from future generations and 'Origins' gave Charizard his mega form. Made me wonder if they might want to do the same in the games.
They will generate hype no matter what and sell 15-20 million.
Yes, and I was talking about gen 8 anyway because gen 8 is what is going to happen.
I'd be more excited about DP remakes than going to Kanto a 5th time.
They would about Gen 8. It would be the first console mainline Pokémon game, it'd garner hype regardless.
Are the characters or setting of gen 1 considered "great" outside of nostalgia?
I literally don't get how it wouldn't make sense for the next game to have new pokemon when that has been the main seling point every gen and what makes them all the money with the anime, PTC, spinoffs, merch, etc.
That's very snarky of you. The name Red/Blue holds so much from a value perspective. What I want dosent matter. What Nintendo wants is to sell Switches. The reason GO was successful was because it was the OG150.*sigh* Folks Red and Blue 2 has already been done way back in 1999.
You want "Red and Blue 2"? Go and play those or its remake and stop bringing up the idea of Red and Blue 2 happening, Kanto story is done and dusted.
Yeah, I could see Game Freak doing something like that given how they kinda did that with the Hoenn remake.
Are all or most of those Go players going to spend $400 on a switch and pokemon? The reason Go was successful was because it was a free app with the pokemon name that caught on fire at the perfect time. Every new gen sells $15 million+, I'm not convinced gen 1 remakes would sell more or that much more at all, and the offset of all the new pokemon related merch, anime, etc makes the difference.
I never said remakes.
You mean like the Gen 1 merch that they're already selling?
