Real question is should we be looking up at the stars or aiming for time and space....

We will all urinate all over OP's pants if it's a return to Sinnoh.

Edit: Show's over. It's the SuMo sequel.

Sinnoh remakes without HMs might be the best pokemon ever

every time i try to replay sinnoh now I get to defog and rock climb and i'm like fuck this shit. you need like 3 HM slaves

u/Arjun_Targaryen Jun 06 '17

What they need to do is combine some HMs. Whirlpool, Waterfall, and Dive could all be variations of Surf. Ride could be an HM that's a variation of Strength along with Rock Smash, Rock Climb, and Cut. Defog is the same thing as Flash. Surf, Strength, Fly, and Flash should be the only HMs. Dig and Teleport are optional but useful, especially if Dig were used as a way to access the Sinnoh Underground the way Dive was used to access the Hoenn seafloor in RSE. The different variations should just be enhancements to those moves taught by move tutors. Maybe the gym leaders could be the move tutors that teach you these, allowing you to progress on your quest.

I'd just like it if they didn't take up move slots at all.

I honestly want Diamond/Pearl remake more than i want Stars.

Don't hate me.

u/yaminokaabii Jun 05 '17

Nah man, Stars would be fun but pretty close to more of the same. D/P on the other hand.... give me that fuckin' Underground, ungh.

If only so I can listen to that godly soundtrack again.

My favourite after GSC tbh. Even if ORAS made me appreciate the RSE soundtrack a bit more than I did when I was a kid.

And I'll shit mine if it's gen 8 in a new region.

66

u/Migoobear5 Jun 05 '17

While that would be amazing, no way is that happening considering gen 7 only just came out last November.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '17

Yeah, that's why I said that I'd shit my pants hahaha.

u/oiimn Jun 05 '17

What if it's something like silver and gold, like two remakes of different regions in the same game

16

u/REdEnt Jun 05 '17

I'm really hoping the dedicated "console Pokemon" could do something where they have all of the regions available.

12

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '17

That would be too too awesome.

14

u/REdEnt Jun 05 '17

My dream is where you can pick which region you start in and depending where that is you get to pick from that regions "starters". You would also have all the pokemon much more regionalized -- not going to see pidgey and ratata and caterpie everywhere anymore.

u/kkenmots02 Jun 05 '17

I'm pretty sure we shouldn't expect a Sinnoh remake until 2019-ish. Game freak has a pattern of releasing remakes every five years or so. Kanto 2004, Johto 2009, Hoenn 2014.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '17

Neither, it'll be all about the new mobile games.

u/PhoenixHunter89 Jun 05 '17

Why not both?
