Next month, on 27th February, it will have been 25 years since the launch of the original Pokémon Game Boy titles?

This also happens to line up with "Pokémon Day", and as usual, there'll likely be a special presentation to go with it.

Spanish fansite Centro Pokémon says sources close to the project have confirmed remakes of the DS titles Pokémon Diamond & Pearl are in development and will be revealed next month.

"Pokémon Center can confirm that, according to sources close to the company, remakes of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl , originally released in 2006 for the Nintendo DS, are in development for the Nintendo Switch .".

These new versions apparently won't be like the Pokémon: Let's Go games released on the Nintendo Switch in 2018, and will be closer in style to the original DS releases from 2006.

Would you be interested in returning to Diamond and Pearl on the Switch!

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games.

Hopefully the Platinum version implemented on both Pearl and Diamond version.

Hopefully they’ll add some of the new things like Wild Areas to the Diamond & Pearl games (or at least full-camera control throughout).

New Pokemon Snap shares the exact same models as every other post-X/Y Pokemon game.

At least I have the originals but it’s a shame because HG/SS is one of the best remakes ever so it’s not like they don’t know how to remake games.

So yeah bandai would want to make the game look very appealing.

The Diamond and Pearl games never clicked with me.

I still have Pokemon Platinum for my DSi.

My opinion, Pokey Platinum is the Ultimate edition version of Diamond and Pearl.

If these remakes are a thing, I hope that the games look more refined than Sword and Shield.

I also hope that they don't cut the features of the original game, like they did with ORAS just because "Kids today don't like playing games for long periods of time".

I'm cautiously optimistic, as I never actually played a gen 4 game all the way through before, and my platinum cartridge no longer works on my DS.

Diamond and Pearl were kind of forgettable entries in the series, so it'll be interesting to see what Game Freak does with them, if they are indeed real.

I vividly recall the day our (my now wife and I) copies of each games arrived at our house.

And moments after crossing the threshold we were tearing into these games.

As much as I friggin adore Diamond and Pearl, the snowier acclaims of Platinum made it made fave.

It’s the most flawless game ever.

My favourite games in the series are in no order; Sun-Moon, Ultra games, Gen 2 remakes, gen 3 original, gen 4 original, gen 1 (so boring and empty how anyone can enjoy it is a liar.).

It'd be nice to play a pokemon game that had REAL tense and scary atmosphere along with great lore that gen 4 had and isn't all sunshine and rainbows like SW&SH was.

That's assuming this is real of course.

However, I wouldn't say it's confirmed to be the case, since it could be that remakes were entirely replaced by the Let's Go games!

I'm not optimistic about the next mainline pokemon games (whether they're D/P remakes or something else), but I'll hold off judgement until we see the games.

"Revealed" means that the games officially got revealed by the company?

We still don't know of the Let's Go games take the place of remakes yet or not.

Diamond is my favorite Pokemon game; loved the battle tower and the world itself.

It isn't like they start work on it next week.

If it turns out to be a real thing then you can't take back that it was 'revealed' here.

@nessisonett no, it’s not like they don’t know how to remake games!

What do NOT know is how to make a game on par with the times.

I feel like 3-5 are all the peak of the series.

It'd be a different story if Gamefreak hinted towards Diamond and Pearl remakes, or confirmed them, but they haven't yet?

@VoidofLight Let me put it simply, if the game is real then THIS reveal was real.

If it's not real then THIS reveal wasn't real.

If the game is real then Game Freak will only be confirming what people have read here.

Yeah, if it turns out real, then it was the leaker who technically revealed it.

Never played thies games I would buy day one if its true but

I've just been let down by the lackluster gameplay and presentation of the last two games so my excitement is tempered quite a bit

@Christofu The Gen 3 games are decent overall, they were a definite step up from the GB/GBC entries

@urrutiap The last two Pokémon remakes have included a lot of the content from the original games’ upgraded third version (e.g., HG/SS included the Suicune subplot from Crystal)

I’d be shocked if these remakes don’t include the new areas Platinum introduced, such as the Distortion World

@g_ruz Pokemon Platinum is still great and really doesnt need a remake

and like I said Platinum was and still is the Ultimate edition version of Diamond/Pearl

@urrutiap I feel like if done right, it could use a remake

The games themselves are extremely slow, with battles taking forever to get through in comparison to what came before and after the game

Whether it's true or not, the only thing I do ask Nintendo (and Pokemon Company) to do is allow Game Freak to develop the next main Pokemon game with the time they need to make the game without the rush that ruins any big project, seriously, SERIOUSLY, if They can't have a game "ready" this year, better not do it, and I will wait to next year without problems

I still have Pokey Platinum and Ive had the game for like a few years and once in awhile I still play it for my DSi

and the game isnt that hard to track down even on online like amazon

Gen IV games where Blissey's health meter fully depletes in 4 seconds instead of 40

First Pokémon games I ever got

Like they did with Fire Emblem for the anniversary

Let's be real, we didn't need a rumour to know Diamond and Pearl remakes are on the way
