Them putting Red Genesect in the flashback part was a HUGE trigger for me, I'm still mad that the US NEVER got it!
I'd hope they bring back the Battle Frontier, Platinum is actually what made me like the Sinnoh games. The only good thing about Sinnoh before that was the anime and manga
Having stuff to do post game was always nice and considering I never got around to beating all the Frontier Brains from gen 4, I'd like the chance to again. I mean technically I still could but transferring any of the Pokemon I get attached to from gen 4 -> 5 -> Bank -> Home is just a huge pain!
At the very least I hope much like ORAS did with Deoxys, they change Darkrai's status. It was always a silly thing making him and Arceus events given they're literally tied to Pokemon available in the games! And we can obtain Arceus in Legends so... Darkrai please! There are
so many mythical Pokemon out there and given we still get 3/4 every generation, why not make older ones more obtainable? Deoxys being obtainable in ORAS and Celebi in VC Crystal was awesome! They should do more stuff like that as they don't do much re-releases,
especially if you're outside Japan
And Megas potentially returning again... nice. I miss them
Also can BW get this same treatment when it's time eventually comes? I used to be
heavily against BW remakes due to the games being perfect and a fear they'd try 'sympathizing' Ghetsis or something else equally silly(The guy is the kind of evil you like to love, he has no remorse, presumably killed Hilda/Hilbert between games-it's just a theory but one I believe is true as it's perfectly in character and they never appeared again-, assaulted Lillie and tried to screw over Giovanni by proving he's the biggest of the bad!) like tossing Kanto Pokemon in and ruining the game's appeal, it was a literal fresh start! You were forced into using entire new Pokemon as old favorites like Pikachu/Eevee and Charizard weren't forced into it like they are nowadays. But if it's just like the DP remakes and the story is essentially the same, I'm all for it!
Plus BW legends could complete the Unova lore and give us the Zekrom/Reshiram/Kyurem complete form! Especially since new games actually add new Pokemon now. Hopefully they patch the Pokemon into SWSH if so, not like they're doing a third game anyways
Granted Megas would be pretty useless being included in Unova since Audino is literally the only freaking one for some dumb reason! -_-
I like that they've returned to the old ways of Pokemon games, last year we got the MD remakes and SWSH! This year we get Snap 2 and DP remakes with Legends a few months later! It's quite nice given the past few years we literally only got mobile stuff and a main game once a year or so. Really making me more optimistic towards the future(Now they just need to stop the needless gen 1 pandering crap), hopefully we get another Shadow game and a new Mystery Dungeon story soon!
