Really there is just no excuse for the DP remakes to not be a slam dunk. Platnium already exists, and that game is a near perfect pokemon game. Literally all they have to do is incorporate most of the Platinum changes from DP and its done. If they are removing tms(which I think they are.) then all they really need is the ride share thing (or just have blocking npcs) and progression is fine. My only really worry is exp share. Gym leaders just arent difficult when exp share exists in the game unless they make them use some big strats that just arent friendly to children. I dont think it would effect Cynthia much become her team is just fearsome no matter what. But there are definetly some gym fights in platnium that can be memorable for most people. Especially Fantina and Candice.

Wholesale new changes I would want would probably having them size up the route encounters a bit, maybe add some mon from different regions. I expect the platnium dex at minimum, but there is no reason for why it shouldn't be expanded even more.

Oh God nerfing Cynthia would make this a 0/10 immediately. They'd have to be literally smooth-brained if they did that.

No way to realistically nerf this shit while remaining "true".

In the announcement they directly stated, though I'm phrasing, "with all the Pokemon from the original Diamond and Pearl" which I took to mean no new Pokemon, no Regional forms, and no Pokemon after Gen4.

A lot of gen 4 pokemon got dex cut. Like the starters.

I'm expecting the game to have the Platinum dex throughout the main game with the non-P dex pokemon being post-game.
 
Ah, okay, let me amend my previous thing about why the Legends starters were chosen - they’re all a reference to Feudal Japan, as well as could be said to reference Japanese animals.

Samurott’s the most obvious, being based on the Samurai. Decidueye is an Archer, not as specific to Japan but still themed around the time. Typhlosion, or rather, Bakufoon is the most tenuous. The name is used to refer to Bakufu, which was the term for a shogun’s officials.

min terms of animals, again, Samurotts the easiest, with sea otters going to northern Japan - aka Hokkaido aka Sinnoh. Honey Badgers like Cyndaquil are also present in Japan, as are a few types of owl.

Wouldnt the whole point be that you'd get starters not native to japan. Since you get them in an embassy type building?

That's why none of them are the sinnoh starters - and actually, only one of them is from a region based on Japan (Cyndaquil.)

The problem is that, aside from Infernape, not many fire starters have a strong reference to Japanese culture, and infernape himself is Sinnoan. Emboar the sumo was beaten by Samurott and Incineroar by Rowlet, Fennekin and Scorbunny are medieval and modern Europe as is Charizard.

Blaziken could have been a candidate, being based on Cockfighting which was a thing in the end of the shogun period, but that likely wasn't early enough for it to be counted among the others.
 
I'm honestly really psyched that Gamefuck finally decided to outsource something mainline for once, considering SwSh kinda killed any kind of promise I thought that company held when it comes to making 3d games. Plus the chibi style is honestly pretty close to the sprites used in DPPt wrt proportions and bobbleheadedness, and ngl I can't wait til the game comes out and people rip the models since they basically beg to be 3d printed into mini figurines. 'S cute, and to be honest if the region isn't going to be redone to look like a new gen region map/camera/scenery wise, then it'd look really off having the nonchibi models for overworld in the remakes.

Legends: Arceus definitely comes off as really experimental of a new spinoff direction or even series direction, but... Gamefreak, lol. Considering SwSh chugs in offline play when transitioning between wild area zones, I can only imagine how retarded the framerate will be solo and how hot the Switch will run trying to do multiplayer, and speaking of that, how braindead the multiplayer will be. I'm not even thinking about Nintendo's shit servers, but just how ass-backwards the online connectivity functions have become ever since the games went 3D. I doubt they'll use the stamp system again, but whatever the hell they come up with in its place will be cancer.

The new snap game is cute I guess. Can't wait for gen v fans to hype to hell and back for remakes, if only for the inevitable PETA shitfit PR stunt when it comes out bc Team Plasma is literally a hypocritical soyboy PETA vegan cult and all. Hoping for some laughs.
