They're at minimum making Gen 5 remakes. After that then yeah they'll probably stop doing traditional remakes. But I doubt they say FU to the Gen 5 fans. It's still just too soon for those.
This is a major jumping to conclusions move on your part. The existence of Legends Z does not mean there won't be a "normal" gen 5 and gen 6 remake in the future. This is an especially silly analysis after last gen when we got a second Gen 1 remake along with the Gen 4 remake. They could just choose to be waiting for the successor to do a Lets Go Johto and Gen 5 remake.
Yuuuuuup.
There's no FU to Unova fans. They can make a Legends Gen 5 game and it would be a treat to BW's fans. I really don't follow you post.
Am I making a prediction that could turn out wrong? Well sure, I don't have a crystal ball on me. I'm just being hyperbolic for rhetoric's sake. Neither of us know what's in store for the future of the series. Game Freak doesn't either as these things aren't set in stone. No one could have seen LGPE coming, nor could people have seen Legends happening (or having a sequel in a way). My "remakes by GF are done" idea is based on what's happening now. What GF wants to be doing now. They could do what you say or they could also not and simply make a Legends Jotho instead of a Let's Go game... which is much more likely.
I would die for a more open reimagining of Sun/Moon with some Wind Waker vibes and freedom to roam the seas between the islands. I think it's my favourite setting of all of the games even if in real life I don't really care for Hawaii. It's so well done in the games.
Wait, a third pair of games? I knew that Z was initially planned and then never happened but this is the first I'm hearing that there were supposed to be two games and not just a singular third version. I'm not doubting you, but do you have any links to info about this? Google isn't throwing anything up for me, but at the same time I'm not really entirely sure what to type in to get that kind of information.
Maybe not even Game Freak is that ridiculous
The bridge with dragonair and gyarados can be seen in the overhead map. The city is fucking huge. Can't imagine it'll be that complex as it could lead to traversal problems
There's a reason they did BDSP and Legends Arceus for Gen 4... Because they didn't want to upset fans who wanted traditional remakes. Idk what else more to say lmao.
I believe this game will partially adapt the XYZ anime, in which there are Zygarde cores around Kalos that Team Flare has been collecting and experimenting on. In the end, they use them to cause an outbreak of Zygarde roots that wreak havoc on Lumiose City, basically resulting in a mini-war where all the gym leaders + protagonists unite to stop Lysandre and Zygarde.
You don't need to add anything else, though maybe you need to ask yourself this: why aren't they doing an X and Y remake with Legends Z-A then?
Like I said on my first post. They will probably stop doing traditional remakes with Gen 5. Since they are doing a Legends game for Kalos NOW instead of later after Gen 5 when people would expect remakes of the traditional sort, people won't be expecting a Legends game AND remakes.
Zygarde core pieces were also in Sun and Moon though.
ash-greninja retconned into Mega Greninja to go alongside Mega Delphox and Mega Chesnaught
Yeah, keep the simpler hyper marketable main line games for the mass market, have the more experimental games made more for the fans and with an actual budget and man power behind it. And let the anime and manga do what they want.
there's a massive overlap between mass market and the fans. DPr and Legends sold about the same, after all
Gen 5 remakes can happen, outsourced to a 3rd party that is.
When Ash’s Greninja returned in Pokemon Journeys they removed the form from flashbacks, and it was removed in Scarlet and Violet, so I do believe there have been plans to do something new with the form for a while now. Personally, I don’t really want them to fully retcon the bond phenomenon concept and turn it into a standard mega. I’d rather they make bond phenomenon on a more centralized gimmick in addition to Megas for this game - perhaps exclusive to the starters.
well battle bond already got nerfed into the dirt with the form's removal in SV. might be hard to reuse now as an ability. maybe they give you one mega stone for all pokemon and you have to raise pokemon to the point where they can mega evolve
Fair. And I haven't played pokemon besides BDSP since Gen 6 sadly but I definitely would play Legends Arceus once I have the money and not such a backlog.
I wouldn't really call the mainline games simple with how many things they are trying to do at once.
Most video game locations, especially in Pokémon, exist at a pretty compressed scale. A realistically sized city would give them a lot of room to work with.
If by people you mean me then the answer is... sorta. I absolutely do not think a Gen 5 remake would be made by Game Freak, if that's what you mean then yes. GF would rather make a Legends game, barring PLZ-A doing the unthinkable and bombing.
PLZ-A's concept is great. I find myself growing more interested in the game by the hour. I'll have to cool it off though as we aren't getting news anytime soon unfortunately/fortunately ahah.
Eh, the nerf isn't so cut and dry; while the stat boost not being permanent is definitely a loss, the speed increase from a +1 speed boost is far more drastic than Ash-Greninja's meager 10 point bonus to its base speed, which lets him naturally outspeed a few threats he'd struggle with otherwise. (Though in fairness, my preferred competitive format is VGC doubles, where switch-outs are already nerfed just due to the pacing.)
It was also time for BDSP. It's by no means time for Gen 5 remakes. I don't know why everyone's acting like it is.
Lol, c'mon I got baited by Khu you know this. And, above all (and what the point of it is), you're ignoring how my post specifically mentions Game Freak not doing remakes, not the possibility of an outsourced remake, which is what was being being discussed pre-Presents.
Depends if you counted Let's Go as part of the same line of remakes or not. Some people did, others didn't. Guess we got our answer. But that is part of where the differing expectations came from. The other part of that was Khu's moronic "riddles", which can now be safely ignored
Let's see if they can pull it off
