Kanto or Sinnoh: Which Will See Switch Remake?

Many fans are eager for a return to Sinnoh—a region left unexplored since Pokémon Platinum was released in 2008 for the Nintendo DS—but it isn’t necessarily the only title which may see a remake in Generation VIII or beyond. Pokémon Red & Blue/Green never got a true remake on the Nintendo DS or 3DS, although Kanto was seen in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Solid information is nil on the Nintendo Switch Pokémon game, but interestingly enough rumors about Kanto and Sinnoh being remade keep popping up.

Kanto

FOR: Haven’t seen Sevii Islands in almost 15 years, no true remake in just as long, more mature Red & Blue (JP Green) teased in Gen VII

AGAINST: Already saw Kanto in the Nintendo DS in 2009, Red & Blue have already gotten a remake, fans may be tired of the original story

Sinnoh

FOR: Original DiamondPearl games came out over 10 years ago, fan interest in seeing Gen IV again is very high

AGAINST: Game Freak may be waiting to release their next remake considering Omega RubyAlpha Sapphire only came out 3 years ago

  1. I feel like both are equally likely to be the next region to be remade, but I’d much prefer to see a Sinnoh remake on the Switch. We’ve had Kanto in four different sets of games whilst Sinnoh has only appeared once. Let us battle Cynthia in 3D with Mega Garchomp!

  2. GBA = Fire Red/Leaf Green (Kanto Remakes)
    DS = Heart Gold/Soul Silver (Johto Remakes)
    3DS = Alpha Spphire/Omega Ruby (Hoenn Remakes)

  3. If Gen 8 is a new region, it’s sure that Gen 4 remakes will happen. I really hope we won’t see any more Kanto remakes.

  4. Thoughts on this pattern?

    Gen 1: Late 1996 (New console)
    Gen 2: Late 1999 (New console)
    Gen 3: Late 2002 (Same console)
    Gen 4: Late 2006 (New console)
    Gen 5: Late 2010 (Same console)
    Gen 6: Late 2013 (New console and new requirements they have to adapt too with 3d)
    Gen 7: Late 2016 (Same console)
    Gen 8: Late 2019 (New console and new requirements)

      • Seems fair. 2018 sounds a bit too early, i mean i wouldnt mind it of course but rather they take the time to perfect their game the way they envisioned it

        Reply
      • It depends on how long they’ve been developing it. If it’s been in conceptual stages since before SuMo were out, I can see it making a 2018 release if it follows standard Pokémon structure and size, if it is just Pokémon on handheld but upscaled I can see it coming out in early 2019 (late 2018 if they rush a bit and get more work done), and if it’s more BOTWy in terms of innovation I can see it coming late 2019.

        Pokémon typically launches in Fall (typically end of Q3/first two third of Q4) because that means holiday sales and it’s just generally a good time for release, whereas soon after holidays may not be the best time to release because they miss out on the holidays and people may of already spent their money. If it’s coming early 2019 it’ll probably be March at the earliest imo

        So tl;dr

        Q4 2018
        End of Q1/Start of Q2 2019
        End of Q3/Stert of Q4 2019

        In descending order of content change/addition

  5. Why is everybody focussing on the Switch?
    Why won’t gen 8 be released on the new handheld? The one that replaces the 3DS. Or do we get the Switch Mini?

  6. I have to say Sinnoh remakes is what i want more. The region design may be boring (like kanto), but I would still appreciate it much more. We may get more megas, and remix to sinnoh music could be great. Plus marketing wise I think wayyy more people want sinnoh remakes than kanto. I actually know people who have said they won’t play another Pokemon game until sinnoh remakes. Never met a person say that about Kanto. Which Is another problem with Kanto remakes. I don’t really know anyone who wouldDIE for kanto remakes. With all these Kanto references and homages I think we are pretty good on Kanto. Maybe if they didnt do something for Kanto every generation I would want it more, but we see Kanto pokemon so many times. We see magikarp, gastly, machop, butterfree, Geodude, goldeen, almost every generation. Its so annoying

  7. I know Switch is a hybrid, but it is not something you throw in your bag like a 3DS (It is big and expensive). So I hope these games with also be available om a mini version of the Switch (the next handheld). Otherwise they would excluded a lot of players.

    Reply
    • I could see them releasing a smaller, cheaper switch model like the Wii mini or 2DS but I really can’t see a true handheld anytime soon because it’d reflect poorly on their hybrid console if they put out a pure handheld so soon

      That said the joycons are so small all ready you’d probably need baby hands to use mini joycons :p

      Reply
        • I guess but the problem with that is that it would remove a lot of options from switch games such as local mutliplayer using the Joycons seperatly or games that require/allow you to use them in different ways. At that point it’d feel more like a different console than a cheaper Switch

          Reply
      • I want the New Switch DX XL or whatever it’ll be called, the one that fixes the problems and is better like all consoles seem to have now.

        Reply
    • I carry mine around in my bag all the time. Switch already is selling gangbusters compared to what 3DS did and what a successor will do. They positioned it as a ‘third pillar’ again, to not hurt their 3DS business which was wrapping up and to be able to revert back if Switch didn’t work out, but it did so you won’t see anything else soon.

  8. Honestly I’m kinda conflicted on this one, because a gen 4 remake is the most logical step but Gen 6 and 7 had so much foreshadowing to Kanto and how they’re appealing to gen 1 fans latel that makes me dubious. But even though Kanto has still potential, I believe that Sinnoh deserves the remakes the most, Kanto has already been explored numerous times.

    I don’t think that the first Pkm Switch games are gonna be remakes tho

    • Plot twist: Lockstin is a secret GF employee and he has been right all along with his Reset theory. Gen 8 wont be a thing for another 10-15 years

  9. Well I can tell you one thing. I can say with 100% certainty the we don’t get sinnoh remakes as our first switch games. That much is sure. People thinking we’ll get a normal remake before a new game in general are nuts. As for a Kanto return? I think as far as starting on the Switch a return to Kanto makes more sense than a return to Sinnoh. I’m still very interested in the idea that we may be looking at a reboot game where it’s technically set in Kanto, but the story is very different and we actually have me Pokemon in the region.

    Reply
  10. So real talk. How do you guys think they’ll handle gen 5 remakes? They kind of have to remake BW2. It’s not like regular 3rd versions where the story is exactly the same. You think they do a duel release of some sort where both BW and BW2 come out around the same time? Maybe even as a single package?

    Reply
  11. I personally think sinnoh remakes will be the next remakes. That said I do believe Kanto remakes/sequels will eventually happen. Probably on the 25th anniversary in 2021

    Reply
  12. The “Against” point for Sinnoh can also be made for Kanto. It’s also important to remember that Kalos was very similar to Kanto with all the fan-service. Out of the 151 original, only 8 are unobtainable.

    I’d rather see Sinnoh next, but I’d like to see what Pokemon on the Switch looks like first. These remakes have the capacity to be graphically amazing if done right, and I really love Sinnoh as a geographical region.

    Speed: 25

    Her moves are
    Cut, Work Up, Vine Whip and Lick

    Reply
    • OK so that raises Special Attack and Lowers Defense. In which case I suggest using either Energy Ball or Giga Drain (You’ll need to tutor it in White 2), Rock Slide, maybe Focus Blast or Brick Break and if you can remove Cut maybe Leech Seed. Seed Bomb is available as a Re-learnable move as Simisage if you are intent on using that.

  14. Wow my Woobat evolved earlier than I thought it would! I guess the 2 massages I had that woman in Castelia city give him really helped. After him fainting a few times I thought it’d take a lot long than lvl 22 to get him there, but now we gots ourselves a Swoobat so that’s great!. He’ll come in handy against Burgh for sure.

    • I thought the same about my Bunneary in US

      And oddly my Pokémon must have an affinity for high teens for friendship as my Riolu from W2, my Chansey from Diamond and Bunneary in US all evolved at levels 17-18

      Only one Pokémon though I’ve ever had never evolves quickly through friendship, Eevee

  19. Okay real talk why is this even a debate? Why would Kanto get a re-remake right now in comparison for Sinnoh? Literally a cancerous amount of people want a Sinnoh remake and GF obviously has to satisfy that. Do you hear ANYONE asking for a Kanto one? Ask yourself that

  20. If Arms 2 happens, it should have skins. There’s a lot potential for them with these characters and I think it could make the game more interesting overall.

  21. Not to spam but on the topic of Sinnoh, I did really enjoy the underground features.
    …though locking Spiritomb behind them was a bitch

    I’m honestly hoping for a platinum or maybe even larger sized pokedex for the game so we can ACTUALLY have type variety

  23. Ambipom is a kinda cool design with no other reasons for existing.
    Lickylicky is the same, but without a cool design.
    Ambipom should be Normal/Fighting and Lickylicky shouldn’t exist.

    Reply
      • It adds literally nothing to it’s prevo. It’s just fatter with few details. It’s more like a Mega than a real evolution and I don’t think anyone asked for it.

        Reply
          • It’s a development on its theme. Not a new thing.

            Lickylicky has a bigger tongue and a bib. Developments on the licking theme

          • The other tail is just making Aipom ‘bigger’ in regards to developing the theme. It isn’t drastic and barely changed anything.

          • Ambipom being given a second tail would be like if you added a second tounge to Lickylicky. There’s a diffrence.

          • No. It’s just giving it another hand to develop the theme. Like making the tongue bigger adds to its theme because of how much it relies on its tongue.

            These are both new functions that allow the Pokemon to do more. You’re thinking in absolute simplicity with no thought towards how these developments are similar. Aipom got more hand, Lickitung got more tongue

          • A bigger hand just makes your hand bigger and barely adds any utility because of how a hand is structured. A longer tongue can be used for more, like to wrap or grapple.

          • A second tounge could allow it to eat more at the same time, and use the tounges like arms/tentacles, which would be useful looking how short its arms are.

          • So? That’d look worse from a design standpoint because it’d look like a literal alien and a longer tongue is still a development. Moreso than the second tail

          • Sigh, I just have no idea why GF put time and effort into making this mon. If they saw potential for an evo in Lickitung, I think they didn’t use any of it.

          • Sigh, I just have no idea why GF put time and effort into making Incineroar. If they saw potential for an evo in Torracat, I think they didn’t use any of it.

          • It’s to illustrate that people can use this point for any evolving Pokemon because it’s subjective

            That aside, I like Incineroar but it’s not a good evolution for Torracat. Even its stats are disjointed from the rest of its evo line.

          • No. It isn’t. Torracat sets up a lithe, hunter-esque design due to its stature and stats. Which doesn’t happen.

            What you said makes no sense. If it was a good prevo, it’d have a good evo. It’s a two way relationship.

            I’d rather have a developed version for the evo then something completely rando

          • It’s obvious that Torracat was designed after Incineroar, someone had to design a prevo for Inci. They did a good job, even tho Inci could be disapointing as Torracat’s evolution.

            And also GF was going for more of a “pick a fight” mon with Torracat, you can see that in the entries. The hunter thing is just your interpretation and the stats are just based on the fact that it’s a cat/tiger.

          • How is it obvious? If anything, if something was designed after Inci it would’ve… You know. Looked more like Inci. The only thing they have in common is the fiery accessory. If they designed it after Inci, not only did they do a poor job, they failed terribly. They should’ve incorporated subtle hints to its development.

            ‘Sun: At its throat, it bears a bell of fire. The bell rings brightly whenever this Pokémon spits fire.
            Moon: It boasts powerful front legs. With a single punch, it can bend an iron bar right over.
            Ultra Sun: It can act spoiled if it grows close to its Trainer. A powerful Pokémon, its sharp claws can leave its Trainer’s whole body covered in scratches.
            Ultra Moon: When its mane is standing on end, you can tell it’s feeling good. When it isn’t feeling well, its fur will lie down flat.’

            None of this is pick a fight. I’m going for hunter because that’s what cats and tigers are. It’s a typical cat. The only thing that hints at Inci is Torracat’s punches but that isn’t visually obvious and could refer to a tiger’s lunge.

            No other starter Pokemon has such a statistical disconnect between stages. It goes from fast frail mon to bulky slow mon. It doesn’t feel good because you spend most of the game with your Torracat going fast and enjoying it and it feels bad when it slows down. It’s bad game design.

            Incineroar, from an objective standpoint, is a terrible evo for its line. If Torracat was designed before it, it still makes Inci a bad evo for the line if it’s the only thing they could make up for the line.

            I like Inci. Just not as Litten’s final evo.

  26. How to fix the Gen VII starters from a design standpoint

    > Decidueye
    Anything to make it look more spiritual/ghostly/deadly. Type should be observable from design, but it doesn’t need to be blatant.

    > Incineroar
    Make it a four legged beast like Torracat and its stats hint at. Rather than a tiger, make it a panther or something. Take the current Incineroar, change it a bit, and make it a Fighting/Dark evo for a scrappy street cat Pokemon. Strays are infamous for fighting and there’s the phrase ‘catfight’.

    • I can understand why you want it to be four-legged (the change from Torracat to Inci is abrupt like atleast with Delphox it had a bipedal prevo) but why do you want it to be panther though?

      Reply
    • Rowlet > Dartrix > Deci
      Number of tail feathers goes from one to three, slowly
      Leaf fringe becomes leaf hood
      Quills become darts, darts become arrows – development of its gimmick
      Becomes less round and more defined in shape

      Popplio > Brionne > Prima
      Becomes feminine, before going super feminine – traits introduced before final evo
      Colour is lighting, white traces at flippers and nose – hints at colour changes
      Ruffle dress, reffering to the ruffles on Primarina
      Development of its performance theme, from acrobatics to dancing

      Litten > Torract > Inci
      Stand up suddenly
      Goes from lithe to swole
      Slows down considerably
      Fire bell changes into something completely different… Why?

      I rest my case

          • It’s because in both cases it’s a loan word from English. Don’t quote me on it because I don’t actually know or care enough about Japanese culture to know but they have different words for different bells whilst they belts as we know them were introduced to them from foreigners and they’d have different words for their own specific types of belt.

    • I get people’s issue with incineroar but personally I still love it. I am probably biased sicne I am a huge wrestling fan lol that said people shouldn’t get their hopes up with the next fire starter if it starts out on four legs. I did it with tepig and fennekin hoping they would both stay quadrupedal but they both ended up going bipedal. Would I have loved if litten evolved into a fire saber toothed tiger? Absolutely but I refused to get my hopes up again like I did in the past

      Reply
      • Don’t get me wrong I like Incineroar. But it’s a disappointment as a Litten evo because if it was the last member of its line we saw as GameFreak intended, nobody would’ve expected that to come from Torracat.

        Reply
        • Oh I get it trust me. As I said thigh next time we get a quadruped fire starter people need to not get their hopes up. This has happened the past three gens and you would think people would have learned by now.

          Reply
          • Agreed lol, at this point I don’t think GF will make a quadrupedal fire starter until people quiet down about bipedals

          • The main question is what will the next fire starter be based on. So far all the fire starters have been at least loosely based on the Chinese zodiac so if that continues we would either get a snake, rabbit, ox, goat or horse

          • Just had a thought. Imagine the rage if we were to get a snake fire starter that pulled a reverse snivy.

      • Zootopia was great.

        But no, really. First there’s the fact that they’re doing the thing with names of companies spelled diffrently so they don’t have to ask the real companies, when a big part of the 1st movie was that you saw real video game characters. Then there’s the “Wreck it Ralph Breaks the Internet” which is just so bad. If the sense humour of the original will be replaced with jokes like this, the movie will be ruined. Then there’s the fact that it’s internet related might mean the movie will try to be “trendy” like the Emoji Movie (tho I doubt it’ll be that bad). All the promotion rn has a bad vibe.

        • That’s kinda fair but I believe that the writers are better than that. They made one of the best animation movies of the decade so I’m pretty sure they can atleast make a good movie. But yeah, internet references in media almost always fall flat unfortunately.

    Light/Holy (as in ‘divine good’ or ‘divine light’, like Dark is ‘Evil’ in Japan)

      • Poison
        Normal
        Steel/Electric and Porygons

        Light is covered by moves in other types and largely by Electric
        Psychic/Fairy
        Fairy/really anything could be considered Magic in Pokemon
        Flying

        I left a gap because Holy is maybe not covered but that’s largely because it strays close to real religion I think.

        Reply
        • Radioactive is not really poison, poison types are usually based around pollutants, and cyber or digital is a concept that is only explored in Porygon, steel and electric are just the elements more than anything.

          I can see the rest tho

          Reply
          • Hm, I feel like Poison and Radiation might have similar effects, though I do agree that as there are many types of radiation perhaps it is not entirely able to be covered by Poison. In fact it may not have been covered at all because it is considered ‘too adult’ conceptually. When I think Cyber I think of Robots which are made up usually of Metal and Electricity which is why I said those. I suppose Digital could be explored, the question is how?

    • Least stupid

      1) Cosmic – It’s practically in the game already as a facet of Psychic. If we’re getting a new type, I think this’d be it. They split up Water and Ice, as well as Rock and Ground. So I don’t see why Cosmic (which isn’t inherently linked to Psychic powers irl) can’t be separated. I doubt it’ll happen but it’s the most likely of the lot. It could also easily be manipulated type chart wise to solve a lot of problems.

      2) Air – Hear me out. It’s probably one of the least likely, but it’s one of the least stupid. Flying is kind of an odd name because something can fly without manipulating air and vice versa. If Flying was made into a physical characteristic of a Pokemon rather than a type, its moves would be split between Normal and Air. However, because of how simple the mechanics are in Pokemon, it’s not happening. But it’d be the case in a more complex RPG. But it’s not happening in real Pokemon.

      3) Radioactive – It’s in the same boat as Air. It would work in an RPG sense but it’d be too complex for Pokemon. Its type relations would be odd as heck and it’s possibly even controversial considering the series is Japanese. But it could lead to some interesting designs like cool mutants and odd radioactive monsters. Hell, even a banana would be a cool Radioactive type lol. Radioactivity is also a niche that Pokemon hasn’t touched at all.

      The kinda stupid

      4) ‘Holy’ Light – It’s not that it’s the worst thing ever. It’s just that the divine angle has been compromised because ‘God’ is Normal types and all the other ‘gods’ fit their current types. And as a foil to Dark in a battle of Good vs Evil, Fighting takes that role. It’d work if it came at the start of the franchise when things were being sorted out, but it doesn’t fit into Pokemon as it is now.

      5) Cyber/Digital – I just fail to see how it could have any meaningful type relations besides Steel, Electric, and Psychic. The designs would eventually become super limiting over time if they want to make it obvious each of these Pokemon are ‘Digital/Cyber’ in a way, and overall it just seems like a niche type that wouldn’t work. It’s spared from being in the dumbest category because it’s not as cliched and it actually hasn’t been covered at all besides Porygon, which is Normal due to it being ‘typeless’ and we’ve seen Normal types been retyped before.

      The really stupid

      6) Magic. It’d be kinda stupid before Gen 6, but now Fairy-types are here it’s went out the window completely. Fairies = ‘Magic’, Ghosts = ‘Black Magic’, Psychic = ‘Stage Magic’ & stuff like Visions. It’s too hard removing stuff from three types just to justify a new type which probably wouldn’t fit well into the type table.

      7) Light and Sound. No. They’re so split between all 18 types that they are never, ever happening unless we get a total rehaul of the franchise. So many Pokemon have light or sound worked into their designs but are already dual typed, and they’re both just so cliched and don’t fit in with the other types from a ‘vibe’ perspective. And we’re not getting a Light type because we don’t have an actual ‘Darkness’ type. The closest we have is Ghost but that’s because Ghosts and shadows go hand in hand, and even then we’ve seen aspects of Darkness leak over into the Dark type. These two are never happening ever. People need to get over it. And if I’m proven wrong I’ll be salty but standby my opinion that they’re dumb.

  32. Well I think I finally came up with a solution to our problems with Fly and its use

    In the games we typically use fly as a way to move around, but since I want no HM’s in my region I figured out a substitute that fits perfectly into the area. A Train system (No this is not copying BW) because my region’s based on Pennsylvania one of the biggest train areas in the country so that fits it and unlike BW’s that goes to one place there’s going to be a train system that can take you to anywhere you already have been. Also can make an area that is like the big central hub and expand on it more

    So think its a good use of brain power and creativeness or Nein?

    What if Rose Quartz isn’t who she says she is, like what if Rose really was Pink Diamond or what if Rose didn’t kill Pink and instead PD killed her, but then fused to look like Rose? IDK, but a nice idea.

  36. Know what’s crazy? I don’t think I ever got the Darmanitan that has Zen Mode from gen 5. I think in BW I killed it without knowing about it and then idk what happened in BW2. Either way I didn’t get it. This will be rectified with this new Black playthrough

  37. Something I hope the next game and its pre-release does for me is give me a sense of wonder. Both gen 2 and gen 5 give me this feeling. From all their media (well I guess not the gen 5 anime…..) I get this feeling of wanting to explore and find new things. I really hope whatever the next game is makes me feel that way. I want to be excited about finding new Pokemon again. I really loved gen 7, but I don’t think I really felt that way. I enjoyed the region and story, but the sense of wonder and excitement never reached peak levels. I want the next gen to be something that year later I can be nostalgic about like how I am with gens 2/5. It being the first HD set of games and first on a home console will be a good start. Hopefully the games themselves are good too tho!

      • Like literally the feeling I have for Johto and Unova in the form of words. I’m watching the Johto seasons now and it’s giving me nostalgia up the wazoo. I want another region and gen like that. Also if TPCI can get their crap together and hire someone who actually knows how to write an intro song we can get this sh!t going. They should hire whomever was in charge of the intros at 4kids to do it.

  40. Here’s the “wind howling” Pokemon I meant

    Pokedex Number: 193
    Brezhriek (Breeze-shriek)
    Classification: The Breeze Scream Pokemon
    Height: 2’09”
    Weight: 0.2
    Typing: Ghost/Flying
    Ability: Cursed Body/Resonance (Hidden Ability: Infiltrator)
    Stats:
    HP: 42
    Attack: 33
    Defense: 29
    Special Attack: 61
    Special Defense: 29
    Speed: 82
    Base Stat Total: 276
    Pokedex Entry: These Pokemon are considered pests by many townsfolk. During storms, they mimic the sound of howling wind. This causes storms to sound much worse than they actually are which in turn causes the townsfolk to become paranoid. Strangely, these Pokemon despise the sounds of windchimes which has lead to importation of chimecho and chingling into the region

    Pokedex Number: 194
    Derecholy (Derecho-Melencholy)
    Classification: The Wind Scream Pokemon
    Height: 5’09”
    Weight: 0.2 Lbs
    Typing: Ghost/Flying
    Ability: Cursed Body/Resonance (Hidden Ability: Infiltrator)
    Stats:
    HP: 62
    Attack: 70
    Defense: 60
    Special Attack: 100
    Special Defense: 60
    Speed: 120
    Base Stat Total: 472
    Pokedex Entry: This Pokémon is known making a howling wind that creates a sound similar to the cries of a despairing maiden. Despite the sad sound of these cries, this is simply how they communicate with each other and has zero correlation to their emotional state. Villages that get overrun with these Pokémon become ghost towns in mere days due to intense headaches these howls cause.

  42. I’ve thought of a Spinosaur Pokemon, not sure on the type though. It will be part Steel. as that’s a big chunk of the concept, but not certain on secondary type.
    Choices are:
    – Water because they hunt in Rivers
    – Dark because they can be vicious
    – Dragon because they are kind of dragon-like.
    I do want to make a Steel/Dragon at some point but not sure I want it to be this. It will possibly be a pseudo line.

      • It might evolve from a Fossil but I don’t really want to follow the constant part Rock typing. The first stage might be part Rock but that’s it.

        Reply
    • Water sounds very good to me for it

      and funny if you did a Pseudo line that’s Dragon/Steel then we’d share the same type for that spot as mines based on Bahamut Leader of Good Dragons (It’s Steel because it has the best affiliations to Platinum Dragons)

      Reply
      • Hm yeah, I had the idea it also has a sail on the tail that it uses both for balance when striking its’ prey for precision and also as kind of a rudder as it wades through deeper water/swims. The main back sail is kind of Buzzsaw like and it has fishing spear-like claws as its’ main diet is things like Relicanth, Basculin and generally tougher sea creatures. The last stage is called Spinosaw.
        I already have that Qilin pseudo line I made before that’s Fire/Dragon so idk.

  43. In my fangame there will be references to other regions and occasionally even a few cameos. Of the official characters, Wally will actually play a relatively large role. In the past few years, he had begun to make a name for himself in battling tournaments in several regions. After suffering an excruciatingly one-sided loss, he decided to go back to the basics and explore an entirely new region in the hopes of learning a few new tricks to help his battling career. The interesting part is that he has decided to leave his Pokemon with professor Birch temporarily and start again as a new trainer. It just so happens his journey begins around the same time as the player character, meaning….

  47. So I found these old sketches of characters I made like almost a year ago for a Rom hack of Ruby I never ended up making called Pokémon Wish. It was a sequel taking place years after RSE.

    It centered around Jirachi and you would get a weaker form of Jirachi halfway through the game but I never settled on a design

    Gym leaders were updated. From what I remember…
    -Roxanne is now an overworked college student juggling time at school and time at the gym
    -Watson died but had built a robot called “Bottson” to take over for him
    -Flannery had a water type specialist fiancé and you fought them in a double battle for the badge
    – Ruby took over Norman’s gym after Norman quit to spend more time at home (Sapphire was a post game boss like Red)

    The player character was an assistant to Professor Acacia who studied space. You just arrived in Hoenn and she sends you out with a Pokedex for whatever reason. There’s also that star festival like in the Jirachi movie. But for some reason I couldn’t come up with, these two dope punk sisters wanna capture Jirachi so you gotta stop them

    So it wasn’t made because 1) I was lazy 2) I couldn’t think of a reason why the sisters wanted Jirachi specifically

    Also Wally was the champion https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6a36f4683850596c65a56397d52e0608b0a4bc21f5bc7b10c16b54daa7864760.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d7084e80b3ff50964908265f30fdc104d4f808684f045918eeec8f76083de24b.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e7f521a20179a3bfa71fee82c132a5c15a200ca50faf29e94ec7636ac856cbea.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5b95d53e72d5d21ef2bdfc2d579486c40a771f001aa28745e60c359a0d6c071f.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4ef76c78166d53de033cf5a98e0a22db167e887f7755b2d130f2950e7893bdcd.jpg

  48. the “leak” Sir Drake posted is most likely fake due to
    1. Not feeling like fast paced direct like we been having but a feeling like a normal wii u/3ds era direct
    2. Wolfenstein 2 not having a release date or mention in the leak.
    3. Like Star pointed out to me no direct gives alot of dates.
    4. January direct are more for January- May type of game releases so I wouldn’t think Octopath would be up there honestly along with Kirby,Dark soul Final Fantasy. and Nier

  52. Last year, the September Nintendo Direct was announced at 6AM on Monday September 11. The last time they tweeted before that was Friday September 8. This month, their last real tweets (besides an advertisement for FE Heroes) were on Friday, and that included the Pink and Green Joy-Con and an obvious hint in the form of Talkatoo from Odyssey. With this, I conjecture that Nintendo could announce this month’s Direct tomorrow at 6AM! Maybe. It could still be Tuesday or Wednesday morning as well. Please announce this thing and put me out of my misery Nintendo, this is important to me…and us!

  53. So what do y’all think the direct will reveal (realistically of course)?

    Depending on how big the direct is, I definitely think we could get the name of Yoshi’s new game and a release date, Kirby’s release date, the names or at least some info about the upcoming pokemon games, and if we’re lucky, something breadcrumb-y about animal crossing or super smash bros.

    Reply
    • Pikmin 4, Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong Planet, and a tease for Smash Bros to be revealed in full at E3. Then some third party stuff and new Joy-Con and pro controller colors. I think that’s a very solid event lineup.

      Reply
        • I kinda forgot about those, but I was only thinking about new announcements. I think they’ll fully reveal Yoshi with its name and release date and then say “Oh yeah, Kirby Star Allies releases at this time”. There must have been a strategic reason why they revealed Kirby’s full name before Yoshi’s.

  55. This is an exciting time for Nintendo (and video game) fans. You are about to enter a week with a near 100% probability of Nintendo Direct, and not just ANY Direct…the big Direct at the beginning of the year which tends to rival or exceed E3! On top of this, 2018 is more exciting than usual because we know nothing about Nintendo’s heavy hitters for the year, much like this time last year. With Switch breaking records and an optimistic sales forecast, there are some BIG things on the way. For that, along with the possibility of Smash Bros. being featured, here’s some hype music.
