Oh goodness...you needed six HMs to get through Sinnoh: Cut, Surf, Strength, Rock Smash, Waterfall, and Rock Climb. I think they will just have your bike do everything; they already gave you a surfing bike in Sword and Shield. I can see there being a bike for going up waterfalls too, and one for climbing rocks (like the Acro Bike). As for the other three: they will probably not be needed since a lot of the exploration from the previous games required those HMs. You do not need to cut down trees, move boulders, or smash rocks if there are none of those in the first place; the games have been increasingly linear after all.

The last picture makes me wonder if the Pokémon marriages they talked about in generation 4 were really consensual.

The legend stated that humans and Pokémon at one point were rather equal or "alike" in some way, and they're more intelligent than the average animal, for sure. Although it's always been noted only a handful of species are intelligent enough to understand human speech even if they can't talk back in the same manner (usually), which is weird since as long as a Trainer took care of their Pokémon and treated them well, they will obey orders (and it didn't have to be anything about battling, too) and love them unconditionally, so it's hard to say. Think only certain Pokémon were marriage candidates, so like for instance, it was considered "inappropriate" or even "unethical" to marry a baby Pokémon, or that it'd raise some eyebrows if you married a Magcargo.

Given it never went into great detail about it and it probably wasn't something that lasted very long in Sinnoh folklore, the fans I think just took it to mean it super literally and that nothing was off the table, and then the Poképhiles began to openly run amuck. I dunno.

Also that wasn't a real Machamp, it was just a suit and the guy got mad at you for chasing away the girls since no one was supposed to know it was a disguise. Still is weird that they assumed it was a real Machamp and still fawned over it, though.
 
I actually won't be surprised if the amount of Pokemon in the Diamond/Pearl remake would be somehow even less the originals.

Personally it'd be better for Sword & Shield to have one more DLC to add fan favorite features and the remaining Pokemon in the game, but given the absurd total price for the base game (probably multiplied by two because Sword & Shield being separate lol) along with the DLCs and Nintendo Online Service and Nintendo Home I won't blame them if they don't want to face more backlash making another DLC.

I wish more Pokémon games would have an actual orchestral soundtrack. Let's Go, Eevee/Pikachu proved it's a beautiful upgrade, and so since the Gen IV remakes will be expected to be on Switch, there's no reason to not give them the same treatment with the soundtrack.

Maybe Pokémon will become like Sonic in that most people will remember the music more than anything.

Sinnoh had some jazzy tunes, so I look forward to seeing how they remake them (I think they would at least do the music right; the worst that would happen is some songs getting cut because they decide to remove things that said songs are dependent on).

I think the day and night cycle will stay, though I guess it's always possible they'll cut out the night tunes to "save space/time" or whatever.

DPPT's music had some real charm with its MIDI instruments to me, but I AM looking forward to what they could do with an orchestral soundtrack. Even if I'm pessimistic about the game quality Sinnoh had some great songs that'll be even better remastered.

Gen 4 definitely has the most nostalgic soundtrack for me, aside from Gen 2 since that's when I started playing Pokemon. There's so many good jazzy and calm songs in gen 4.
Route 209 is always a good one for relaxing.


Edit: To add, they did that touring Pokemon Symphony a couple years back, and did some Gen 4 songs.
Maybe a taste of what's to come.

I loved the SwSh soundtrack and definitely think it's the high point of Gen 8 aside from comp QoL changes. I don't see this being far from what might eventually happen if the games continue to deteriorate in quality.

I think it would be cool if they actually incorporated the Mystery Zone into the game and allowed you to go there. Maybe Dialga/Palkia could open a weird rift in space-time.

Competitive QoL changes that barely matter because of the stupid fuckin’ 20 minute time limit. Can we maybe get with and without time limit ladders?
Also, obligatory fuck Toxapex and Clefable.

Nothing beat hatching eggs in the open void of the Mystery Zone.

And on your point, it would have better fit Arceus or Darkrai. Considering your SOL without an AR or in Darkrai's case, going to the actual event or again, the AR, the void glitch in the Mystery Zone works, if it was truly legit. Arceus for the similarities to God by being encountered while walking around in nothingness, and Darkrai for obvious reasons.

It must've been a pretty convincing disguise, then. Reminds me of that cursed image about the kid petting what appears to be a big dog, only for it to actually be someone in a fursuit.

If you encountered Arceus in the Mystery Zone that would be SO CREEPY. I love it.
