News: Pokemon Presents video to stream 13:00 UTC on the 17th

It is slated to reveal more info on the DLC. More details are in the article! Thoughts?

inb4 DPPt remakes

Seriously though, "other things" makes me think they'll announce another game, even if it's just one of those infuriating sub-30 second spoilers or something. My appetite for Gen IV remakes has completely disappeared given how utterly rubbish SnS are and how little I trust Game Freak to do a proper job with them, but I suppose when thinking about next games it's in the realm of possibilities.

Okay, but what about Pokemon Sleep? I hope they announce something about that finally.

Anyway, I expect Isle of Armor release time (since that's tomorrow finally) and maybe Pokemon Sleep stuff. But, not DPPt remakes. Can't see that happening.

I'm expecting some stuff about that as well. They've gone dark about this for over a year now and it's gotten to the point where it feels like it's been completely forgotten.

Agreed. Especially with the current outlook of the DLC, I'm not expecting a major announcement like this.

DPP remakes ARE NOT HAPPENING. Can the entire pokemon community as a whole just stop lol.

To be fair, people said the same thing about RSE when that was the "Make a remake" fad. Anything is possible realistically. Are a portion of the player base tired of hearing the same thing over and over? Yes, but the people that want it want it and won't stop asking until we get it.

You know who you're dealing with right? Gf? You fully comprehend how they make games yes? Lol.

I understand it appears to be "next in line", but we had about 12 games with Kanto in it total over about 25 years and there's still only one other legitimate Remake. HGSS I don't care for much since they were always literally half Kanto anyways.

Tbh, the Diamond and Pearl remakes will happen eventually but after how disappointed I was with ORAS and the recent SwSh being unfinished and unpolished games, I'm worried about the quality of the remakes. Not to mention DPP aged well graphically.

I do think the announcement with have to include Pokémon Sleep though. It's long overdue.

I entirely get that but having never played 3 originally, ORAS was my first look at all things Hoenn. It brought new Megas plus the poke-radar/nav whatever it is is a great feature. AND super training? No doubt 3 of my favorite features right there. How many lasted though? 1, kind of.

What comes, comes. Only someone whom is an employee of Nintendo, TPC, or GF can say that something will happen or won't happen. Look at the last PMD announcement. Every time we had a direct people were making fun of the people wanting a new PMD game. Without any warning we got the remakes. People are going to demand that DPPt be remade until it happens just as they did with RSE. Once DPPt remakes happen, BW will be the in demand remake. The cycle will continue forward until Pokemon is long dead.

Do I personally think it's possible? No. I think it's too early for a DPPt remake announcement. I wouldn't expect one until this winter at the earliest, but I also did not expect them to announce a PMD game when they did either. Nor did I expect SwSh to get DLC and add older Pokemon back into the games. I thought going forward we'd just keep getting new games that had zero connectivity to the others within the same generation due to the transfer limitations that SwSh had. Things can happen even when we aren't expecting them.

I would be surprised at an announcement on DPPt remakes tomorrow. They're only releasing part 1 of the DLC tomorrow; taking focus away from that and the 2nd part later this year with a new main series game announcement would be odd to me. More likely if we're getting more than just Expansion Pass news that we'll get spinoff stuff (Sleep?), or maybe porting of older games to the Switch.

I mean yeah...this'll essentially just be "news" and results and coverage of the DLC information and all of that....good chance of nothing more either lol.

If they announce DPPT remakes I will cry tears of joy. I'm not anticipating such a huge announcement this soon, however.

Wow that was... wild. They announced some out there stuff this time around.

Glad Diamond and Pearl remakes didn't get announced for now.

Also no Pokemon Sleep....again. Yet, they announce a new app as soon as it's unveiled. Rip, Pokemon Sleep.

wasn't really interested in anything that was shown in the stream, but I do have to wonder what's going to be in the presentation next week and why they couldn't have made it a part of this one
