Do we really *need* Sinnoh remakes?

All current 3DS systems are backward-compatible with DS games. Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum (plus HGSS because why not) are still relatively easy to find at used game stores. There is no hardware limitation preventing any newcomer who started with S&M from going back and experiencing gen 4, other than having to jump through gen 5 if they want to transfer to Bank (which could easily be fixed with an update to Transporter).

Secondly, we wouldn't be getting a Platinum remake; we'd be getting Dildo Diamond and Penis Pearl. While ORAS did add some new features to Ruby and Sapphire, they came at the expense of removing the expanded storyline from Emerald. Would it be worth sacrificing the unique elements from Platinum, like the Distortion World, Looker, and the upgraded regional Pokedex?

Finally, Sinnoh itself has aged just fine from a gameplay perspective. Of all the core gameplay mechanics introduced in the games that came after it, only Fairy-types, Mega-Evolutions, and Z-moves are missing.

>>31480065
We don't. It's a shit region anyway so people shouldn't really care to begin with unless they're a Sinnohfetus who started with the games

Depends. If there's going to be an official tournament where you can use any Pokémon as long as it's gen VII-born, there's a 'need' because of the legendaries.

Not Looker. GF loves to suck Looker's dick. They will manage to put him somehow.

Not to mention that we just got Ruby and Sapphire remakes 2 years ago...

I think the DP remakes are going to happen, but it can wake a few years
>>
>>31480065
Why don't people understand that I just want to see Sinnoh with the new graphics? Is that so wrong?
>>
Why the fuck do you people want sequels anyway? It's bad enough that they already try and flog two versions of the same game and then later another version which is pretty the same with only some very minor changes. The remakes barely change anything substantial as well
Its insane that there are actually autists out there that willingly paid over £€$¥100 for 5 copies of the same fucking game. Why would you let Nintendo get away with this?
>>
Diamond was my first pokemon game, i just want a remake to satisfy nostalgia and see some moments i adored with better graphics

>>31480065
I want to say no we don't and that gen 4 is shit, but I'll hold off on that.

Why isn't gen 4 shit? Convince me it's not.
>>
>>31480065
No, but GF is going to make it anyway. I just hope it's not worse than ORAS.

It's going to be worse than ORAS isn't it?
>>
>>31480597
They're probably going to an alternate path, like, in Gen 3 we got Gen 1 and in Gen 4 we got 2. We skipped Gen V and in Gen 6 we got Gen 3. We will probably get Gen 4 in Gen 8.
>>
>>31480488
remakes are not a matter of opinion, they are obligatory in the sense that every other gen has them.
why should gamefreak feel obligated to halt gen 4 remakes because you didn't like the original version?
>>
>>31480065
I think the better question is gonna be "Do we need a DP remake now?"
Also the argument about DR backwards compatibility is invalid as FR and LG was made when the GBA was still backward compatible with the Gameboy.

No, your personal opinion on the designs doesn't make it a shitty region. Shut up.

FRLG were made because Gen 3 wasn't compatible with the Gameboy link cable. You couldn't transfer your old mons from Gens 1 and 2.

you're right, but remakes are still easy money and you know we'd all buy it.

We didn't need a Hoenn but it gone done anyway. That should tell everything you need to know

It will happen, but not in Gen 7, for the reasons you mentioned. I think that's pretty obvious, and denying that will only make you look stupid.

Because the only reason to remake something is to update it, and Gen 4 isn't in any dire need of an update like Gen 3 was.

Just so you know aside from FRLG the remakes were made due to a demand for them.
Gen 4 currently has no demand for a remake.

tons of people said they want a Gen 4 and in an interview Masuda itself stated they were still interested in doing remakes

It will happen
>>
>>31484445
And then subsequently killed the revived interest 3 brought. Why do you think no one cares for gen 4.

Also when you take creatures that were originally analogues for animals into true god areas then you have officially jumped the shark.

Nope, gen 3 killed the hype Gen 1 and 2 going on. Gen 4 brought people back, but never managed to recover the mess Gen 3 made
>>
>>31480065
Short answer, no.
On top of not being in dire need of an update mechanically it can easily be put on virtual console and connected to bank.
>>
>>31480080
This. Couldn't say it better myself.

>>31480065
If it's possible, I say just put the old games on the eShop and allow transferring to Pokémon Bank.
>>
>>31484485
Objectively false by the numbers.
>>
>>31484485
Just so you know pokemania died mid gen 2 then Gen 3 revived some interest after pokemania died.

Gen 4 brought it right back down again both because it didn't utilize the extra power of the DS and slowed things down but GF had a collective bout of mental retardation and made everything from the designs of pokemon to the layout of the region extremely convoluted which is what this anon is referring to when mentioning complaints >>31484483
It's also worth noting that the terrible cross gens are the direct cause of eviolite and megas.

Sinnoh will probably get remakes on the next Nintendo handheld (or the Switch?)
>>
>>31484470
gen3 really hurt pokemon. they lost the gen1 and gen2 audience with gen3, it had already been like a decade at that point, people were growing out of pokemon, and when they learned they couldnt transfer from johto to hoenn they just quit.

I'm just going to hazard a guess that you're about 20-24? That's about the age range for people that started with gen3. People from gen1 are coming into their 30s.
>>31484525
It sold terribly for the time compared to other pokemon games. You cant even use the "waning popularity" argument for gen3 because gen4 sold significantly better.
>>
>>31484557
That's a stupid reason.
We got Kanto and Johto remakes because we NEEDED them. The tech wasn't there to transfer the mons forward, and Johto cartridges literally didn't even work anymore because of poor (or ambitious) design.

You can trade forward Sinnoh mons and their carts work fine. We don't need Sinnoh remake. At the very most a port would work, but even that just seems like a waste of time.
>>
>>31484573

But if you wanted to actually *play* the Sinnoh games, you'd have to keep an outdated 3DS.

How many people carry around their old Game Boy Whatever just to play Kanto?

Kanto is on the eshop now iirc.

>>

Where? Here? Someone put up that strawpoll where gen 4 is actually the most loved gen and gen 5 is the least liked. And in the normal pokemon fanbase, gen 5 is still the most hated gen.
>>
>>31485081
Here being the key word.
Also hgss is the only reason went people voted for 4.
>>
>>31485001
lol
you're looking at sales of gen4 and gen3
thats wrong. you need to look at the next game's sales. sales spiked after gen3 so gen4 profited from it, and crashed on 5. reception to the previous game has the most impact on the next game's sales.
>>
>>31484573
So much wrong in one post, jesus fuck.

>We got Kanto and Johto remakes because we NEEDED them.

No, we got them because those were the height of Pokemon's popularity and were an easy cash-in. Leaving Kanto and Johto pokemon out of R/S/E was planned during development. They did not make the game and realize "oh shit, we forgot to make all of these Pokemon available available, what do we do?" and then remake R/B in a spur of the moment thing. It was a calculated move to sell you more games. And guess what? It worked.

>The tech wasn't there to transfer the mons forward, and Johto cartridges literally didn't even work anymore because of poor (or ambitious) design.

The homebrew community has managed to do it pretty easily, so I'm sure Game Freak could have if they really wanted to. The GBA is backwards compatible with GB and GBC titles, so making a transfer program that requires two consoles and a link cable similar to how it works going from DP>BW is more than possible. But again, money.

>You can trade forward Sinnoh mons and their carts work fine.
This won't be true in 2 months, lol.

>>31485131
G/S/C sold well and was well received yet R/S/E sold like shit.

Everyone swears Gen 5 is bad and that it's widely disliked, yet the Kalos games sold really fucking well.

Similarly, this board hates X/Y and swears it's a stain on the franchise. Yet Sun/Moon is literally breaking sales records as we speak.

What the fuck are you even arguing? Every piece of empirical data we have proves you wrong.

Did it ever occur to you that GSC was riding on the back of gen 1? That's why pokemania died mid gen and you can see that in your previous data.
>>
>>31485081
>Someone put up that strawpoll where gen 4 is actually the most loved gen and gen 5 is the least liked.
You mean the one where that Sinnohfetus was outed for resetting his IP? Or the one where gen 4 only got high votes because of HGSS and gen 5 was a close second?

As for outside of here, well, Sinnoh is the reason why we don't have cross gens, bases, Contests, the BF and regions that aren't overly linear because they all were recieved poorly by the fanbase in that gen.
>>
>>31484301
No you got it backwards anon the HGSS frontier was a copy paste of Platinum's frontier which was it's own thing
and even then they're both still shitty but at least know your fucking facts before you shitpost

Literally all of that applies to all pre-gen 6 games. Including Unova ones. Are they in a dire need of an update too? No, they're not.
>>

Oh, it will be. All games will be remade in due time. We're talking about the very next game/remake.
