The rumors Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Remakes could present the captivating mechanics of Let’s Go games.
A recent Reddit post highlighted a 2019 leak that stated that “next year’s games are remakes of Sinnoh with Let’s Go catching.” Although rumors of Diamond and Pearl remakes never appeared in 2020, the post features two more pieces of information that eventually came true; a Galarian form and evolution of Mr Mime and “fossil Pokémon […] made up of combinations of fossils you collected, which appeared in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
While the lack of official information from Nintendo or The Pokémon Company means that you should definitely accept this information with caution, it is also possible that this information was correct in 2019, but development schedules have changed due to the pandemic.
Rumors of a remake of the fourth generation Pokémon games began to spin in November and were followed earlier this month with reports that the titles would be launched this year as part of the Pokémon’s 25th anniversary celebrations. The 2019 Sword and Shield didn’t use the Pokémon Go-style capture mechanics that were adapted for Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee, but that doesn’t mean Nintendo couldn’t return to the system or future Switch remakes.
When it comes to these birthday celebrations, it looks like we’re going to have a busy year. The Pokémon Company is provoking a lot to find in the next 12 months, and started by announcing a musical collaboration with Katy Perry.
