Super Mario 64 saw a port to both the Nintendo DS and the Switch, so it's possible for Pokemon to follow the same path. It might seem odd for Nintendo to re-release a video game a third time, but this isn't the first time the Japanese developer would've done it. The DS remakes' sales would also perform quite well, resulting in the duo being the eighth best-selling DS games of all time. Some might argue that The Pokemon Company and Nintendo are mainly looking for an easy money grab by constantly porting old games to new consoles, which may be the case, but based on HeartGold and SoulSilver's success, they were generally concerned with pleasing fans back in 2009. HeartGold and SoulSilver fell in line with the 10th anniversary of the second-generation pair and were made to pay homage to what fans fell in love with the first time around while also feeling refreshing to long-time veteran players. But taking a closer look at the meaning behind the 25th anniversary points in a big direction for HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes: the 25th anniversary is the year to gift silver , meaning The Pokemon Company may be gifting Silver to fans next year.īecause of the original Gold and Silver's renowned success, it was no mystery to see Nintendo DS ports release years later. Diamond and Pearl are the most logical ports to be on the way as they fall next in line, should Pokemoncontinue to follow the same trend.

According to many rumors from industry insiders, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are currently in the works for a 2021 release window and may possibly also feature Gigantamaxing.

Judging by the treatment the Super Mario series received with its 35th anniversary this year, it's expected that The Pokemon Company will have big plans for 2021. RELATED: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver Switch Ports Have One Big Problem The Nintendo DS saw the remastered versions of the second generation of Pokemon games, HeartGold and Soulsilver. And though they already received that colorized remake back in 2009, players could expect ports to the Switch happening next year. Beginning with FireRed and LeafGreen, the Pokemon franchise began remastering its highly successful games long ago on the Game Boy Advance and has not stopped since. This is because The Pokemon Company is no stranger to remaking and porting old, nostalgic titles to the newest console. The Wikipedia page for 'video game remake' pops up with remastered images of Pokemon Red and Blue sitting side-by-side with the original Game Boy handheld console. One main reason for this is that next year will see the 25th anniversary from one of the most beloved franchises in video game history, having broken the mold back in 1996 with the original triage, Red, Blue, and Yellow. The Pokemon rumor mills have been churning along throughout 2020.
