It has been 14 years since\u00a0Pokemon Diamond<\/em><\/strong> and\u00a0Pearl<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0released for the Nintendo DS, starting off the 4th generation of\u00a0Pokemon\u00a0<\/em>games and taking players to the Sinnoh region. The region before saw\u00a0Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire<\/em>, and\u00a0Emerald<\/em> introducing players to Hoenn region, but it also brought players back to Kanto with the first\u00a0Pokemon<\/em> remakes:\u00a0FireRed<\/em> and\u00a0LeafGreen.<\/em> After\u00a0Diamond<\/em> and\u00a0Pearl<\/em> released, players went back to Johto in HeartGold<\/em> and SoulSilver<\/em><\/a> in the core series’ second set of remakes. But the question that remains on many fans’ minds is: where are the Sinnoh remakes?<\/p>\n

Two generations after Pokemon\u00a0Diamond<\/a><\/em> and\u00a0Pearl<\/a><\/em>, Hoenn got its own remakes in the form of\u00a0Omega Ruby<\/em> and\u00a0Alpha Sapphire<\/em>.\u00a0Pokemon Yellow<\/em> even got a remake the next generation, with\u00a0Let’s Go, Pikachu!<\/em> and\u00a0Let’s Go, Eevee!<\/em>. The main focus of the current generation, Gen 8, seems to be on creating DLC for\u00a0Pokemon Sword<\/em> and\u00a0Shield<\/em>, a new approach for the games.\u00a0Pokemon Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, Ultra Sun,<\/em> and\u00a0Ultra Moon<\/em> all provided additions to features and storylines for their main game duos, but so far,\u00a0Sword<\/em> and\u00a0Shield<\/em> haven’t seen an upper version.<\/p>\n

Diamond<\/em> and\u00a0Pearl<\/em> got a\u00a0third version in the form of\u00a0Platinum<\/em> three years after the duo released, and some people liked it even more than the original Sinnoh games. Platinum\u00a0<\/em>added the Wi-Fi Plaza for multiplayer use, more Pokemon for the Pokedex<\/a>,\u00a0the Battle Frontier, and an expanded storyline and endgame. Yet no remakes have been announced or even hinted at, and many people are growing impatient, and some players have even gone so far as to say the remakes will never happen. While there’s no way to know the future for sure, here’s why the\u00a0Diamond<\/em> and\u00a0Pearl<\/em> remakes remain a very real possibility.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

By doing the math, one can see that it took 2 generations each to remake the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn\u00a0games, with each having a full generation between the original games and the remakes. Yet the number of generations has doubled since the Sinnoh games, with no remake on the horizon. As each generation comes and goes without a new version of\u00a0Diamond<\/em> and\u00a0Pearl<\/em>, some people are beginning to lose hope.\u00a0 Yet there is still hope, because as each generation passes without any news of Sinnoh remakes, anticipation grows, and the expected reveal would have to be huge at this point to make up for all the time. From many people’s points of view, the Pokemon<\/em> 25th Anniversary Celebration<\/a>\u00a0is the perfect venue to reveal\u00a0Diamond<\/em> and\u00a0Pearl<\/em> remakes.<\/p>\n

Crown Tundra<\/em> is set to be the final DLC<\/a> for Pokemon Sword<\/em> and Shield<\/em>, which means that the core series will most likely either focus on moving on to Generation 9 and introducing a completely new region, there will be a third game set in Kalos announced, or Nintendo will release a remake. It’s been just over a year since\u00a0Pokemon Sword<\/em> and\u00a0Shield<\/em> released, so if this generation did end with just those two plus their DLC, most fans would no doubt complain about how little time was spent on Gen 8. And many people believe that the DLC are a replacement for\u00a0Sword\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Shield<\/em> becoming a trio, especially after developer comments, although there is always the possibility for a surprise pivot there.<\/p>\n

The most likely option for continuing Gen 8 is to introduce a remake. Every other region introduced before Sinnoh has seen a remake, and given the appreciation and nostalgia for Sinnoh, it would be a very odd move for Nintendo to skip over Gen 4’s games entirely and jump right into remakes of Pokemon Black<\/em> and White<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another option is that the remake would be of a game other than an original generational duo, like how\u00a0Pokemon Let’s Go, Pikachu!<\/em> was a remake of Kanto’s\u00a0Pokemon Yellow.<\/em> But remaking\u00a0Pokemon Crystal\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0Emerald<\/em> on their own just isn’t as likely, since\u00a0Pokemon Yellow<\/em> was arguably more different and innovative than its generation than\u00a0Crystal<\/em> and\u00a0Emerald<\/em> were to theirs. And, expanding on the\u00a0Let’s Go<\/em> series would arguably please less fans, as it has less of a following than Pokemon Diamond<\/em> and Pearl<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

In\u00a0Platinum<\/em>, the Wi-Fi Plaza and Global Trade System were innovations that made\u00a0Pokemon<\/em> more friendly to multiplayer and online connections than ever, something many fans take for granted with Pokemon GO’<\/em>s multiplayer functionalities<\/a>. While many people are asking for a\u00a0Pokemon MMORPG<\/em> and increased capabilities for trade and trainer battles in\u00a0Pokemon GO,<\/em> some of the strides Nintendo has made in allowing players to connect with each other could be showcased in Sinnoh remakes. After all,\u00a0Diamond, Pearl,<\/em> and\u00a0Platinum<\/em> made a big point at the time of hyping up their capacities for online use and connection, and putting them on the Switch with its online subscription service would be a huge homage to the original games.<\/p>\n

There are major lines to draw between Black 2<\/em> and White 2<\/em>‘s Pokemon World Tournament and Sword<\/em> and Shield<\/em>‘s Star Tournaments<\/a>. The Pokemon World Tournament allowed the Unovan player’s trainer to battle against gym leaders and champions from regions including Sinnoh. There’s been an increasing demand from fans to make a truly massively multiplayer\u00a0Pokemon<\/em> experience, which is partially reflected in unofficial competitions in the meta online.\u00a0Sword\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Shield<\/em>‘s gym challenge system references this desire by pitting the player against gym leaders in giant crowd-filled stadiums.<\/p>\n

Pokemon Diamond<\/em> and\u00a0Pearl<\/em> remakes have a lot of interesting lore with the gym leaders that could be interesting to see in a truly multiplayer gym league challenge or endgame battling experience. What if players could fight each other in-game for gym badges? Of course, the Diamond<\/em> and Pearl<\/em> remakes could be amazing<\/a>\u00a0even without that. Since\u00a0Sword<\/em> and\u00a0Shield<\/em> doesn’t have all 800+ Pokemon, there are plenty of Sinnoh Pokemon players still want to see in the level of detail and graphics quality that is available in Kalos.<\/p>\n

Simply put, there is an incredible amount of nostalgia and hype surrounding the Sinnoh games and their potential remakes.\u00a0With\u00a0the upcoming 25th anniversary, current position in the beginning of a generation, and the level of new technology, 2021 could be the perfect time to announce and release the new versions of\u00a0Pokemon Diamond<\/em> and\u00a0Pearl\u00a0<\/em>so many people want to play.<\/p>\n

Pokemon Diamond<\/strong><\/em> and\u00a0Pearl<\/em><\/strong> are available to play on Nintendo DS.<\/p>\n
