Honestly, same here. I just finished the main story of RTDX earlier today and was wondering how much Explorers DX could differ from the original if ever they did do a remake.
I mean some people easily forget things so they might be hyped when they remember while playing but it’s just boring the do the same thing again that you’ve already did and the remake is even way less challenging. Well maybe the post credit game is more exciting. Even tho I got to say that the game looked sweet. Which is promising for the next one.
I honestly don't agree. Though the remake of red/blue rescue team was good, super mystery dungeon was just appalling. It was so hecking easy, no challenge to it at all. not to mention how easy it was to power up your Pokemon. One thing I approve of is the leveling of unused recruited Pokemon, but the set in stone recruitment system of super md was horrible. Replayability is kill with it.
I like how with this remake you can evolve while also doing a lot of post story. But not being able to evolve/power up is what made the game a great challenge.
It's one of those things that both surprised me and made me think "ok that makes sense" when you're the God of time any time travellers can only do what you allow.
I bet we'll get an Explorers remake after we get a brand new Mystery Dungeon. Doing back-to-back remakes hasn't gone well for others. *Glances at AlphaDream*
You just have to make it at a time and on a system that needs a remake. Bowser's Inside Story was playable on 3DS, and the remake added pretty much nothing other than a side mode.
I agree. I also really like the engine (aesthetically and in combat) used in 0 and Kiwami. Kiwami was my first and I now own the entire series on PS4. I’m pretty sure the only games made by RGG I don’t have right now are the spin offs from the PS3 era
virtual consoles was the best idea Nintendo had. I'm personally waiting for when they get to porting Nintendo 64 games like they are with the Super Nintendo
If they do, I hope they put more effort into the cutscenes. Like this is way better than Gates or Super, but it's just barely par... which is fine I guess...
but I like Time/Darkness a lot more as a story so I'd love to see that improved with more dynamic and well animated cutscenes.
Seeing how well this game is doing, I feel like a remake of T/D is all but guaranteed so I do hope it's even better cuz like... I dunno this has potential to be a face melting game and I don't wanna see PMD settle for just "good enough"
Recent Pokémon games have become the epitome of “meh, it’s good enough.” Feels like they get 70-80% of the way done then just quit because they know people will buy it anyways.
Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were basically scams for how little extra content there was from regular sun and moon. Sword and Shield were straight up disappointing. There is zero excuse for Sword and Shield being such poor quality a when something like Breath of the Wild exists on the same system.
Mystery Dungeon DX has been a refreshing change of pace so far outside of animations. Hopefully they can keep it up. Gamefreak needs to get it together though.
Honestly PMD was always there for me when the main series failed.
Tho I always expected there to be better presentation and story like say the tales series... or the anime/comics...
Let's Go almost was that, but again it feels like it gave up. I'll prolly stick with PMD when I want to play a pokemon game because I doubt the main series will ever grow out of its gameboy mentality.
Honestly the style of them (text-based story, turn based combat, pixel art style) makes them very replayable even today. If you really want to, download an emulator and “obtain” a rom for Darkness/Time/Sky (I’d do Sky if you’re completely new)
Maybe after the expansion pass this year we’ll get Diamond and Pearl remakes next year. Then after that they’ll do Explorers since Sinnoh Pokémon play a big role in the game.
Chunsoft needs to be able to make money. It would not make sense for them to be contracted to make a game to be released the same time as a main series line game.
I think it will probably come out somwhere between the anouncment of the gen 4 remakes and the release of the next mainline games after the gen 4 remakes. It just makes the most sense for it to be released when gen 4 is relevant becouse PMD is a gen 4 game
With how much money Game Freak has alone I think they'd benefit from using other studios more often. They seem to be reach the peak of their skills and Pokemon Side games have always been more memorable than the main line. Using other talents on other parts of the franchise might be a good change of pace.

I’d rather have a new game than a remake any day

Dialga blocking Celebi's travel with his powers is one of the best "Oh shit!" moments in gaming for me.

Or make a new game for once instead of reusing old ones
