playing Version X
It would honestly be great if there was something like the Delta Episode in BDSP. Though i doubt this will happen.
So Game Freak is not working on this... Is anyone outside of Game Freak allowed to make creative stories not previously designed? My guess is this will only be a remake with Game Freak's permission unless Game Freak must approve any new plot additions to the Gen 4. Franchise
If these are version exclusives, then yeah I don't think they will put much emphasis on Giratina like they did in Pokemon Platinum. A lot of the Platinum cutscenes that involved Giratina put Palkia and Dialga in the background of things... And if these Versions exclusives, which alter the story regarding the legendaries occur, Giratina's Distortion World arc doesn't really fit in.There are rumors that we just catch Giratina in Turnback Cave, like in the original Diamond and Pearl

Manaphy, Shaymin, Darkrai, and Arceus have not been widely available since the 2016 Mythical Distributions for the 20th anniversary so I would be pretty surprised if none of them are distributed alongside these games. Additionally none of them are available in SwSh at the moment (hint, hint). A Platinum Episode would make a lot of sense to do so.
Arceus seems more likely to be saved for Legends Arceus, but events in Flower Paradise for Shaymin, Newmoon Island for Darkrai, or a substitution for Pokémon Ranger for Manaphy would make a lot of sense.
Why do you doubt it, exactly? The last remake had the Delta Episode, as you've pointed out, and Ultra Sun/Moon had a whole extra 'episode' with the various evil teams teaming up under Rainbow Rocket.It would honestly be great if there was something like the Delta Episode in BDSP.

Since it's a relatively new thing for these extra episodes, and they've been well received (along with the DLC for Sword & Shield) there's nothing to really suggest that they wouldn't go through with it.
I think the real question is how many episodes do they have planned? In the original, Arceus, Darkrai, and shaymin all required an Event Key to trigger. I could definitely see this being more a 'remaster' of Platinum with the extra stuff dedicated to Giratina and that alt dimension (connecting it to Ultra Space if they wanted to go above and beyond) and then maybe adding Darkrai in as the extra episode to pair with Cressalia. But the others I'd imagine may end up being DLC episodes.
Either way, I'm confident we'll get something akin to the Delta Episode for this. Hopefully we'll learn more in another couple of hours when the Nintendo Direct airs later today.
I didn't know it was being outsourced, and to be fair, I said "if they wanted to go above and beyond" I didn't really place the chances high, was just saying 'If'. Though, now that I know that its being outsourced, I have less faith. They probably are doing an exact replica of the game much like how Let's Go stuck just to Gen 1 and thats it; not even the islands from the Fire & Leaf remakes were included."How many", "Above and beyond"? Honestly, you're setting your expectations too high. If all these things happen, then SURE.. Hype!
These games are outsourced. There's no hints of these games being anything more then remakes for which GameFreak has given the blueprints which were made years ago (DPt).
DLC is pretty much unlikely since it would interfere with Legends:Arceus release schedule.
But at this point, I'm still just hoping for a Platinum Pokédex (which is a necessity) and setting the rest of my expectations really low.
You were pretty close tbh,Considering that this year is the 25th anniversary of when the original Gen 1 games first came out in Japan and that July is when they’ll be celebrating the Sinnoh region, expect to see a boatload of information about BDSP from July 1st until July 31st!
It feels like we'll only get rematches for the post-game...
I dont know if to laugh or to cry from the fact they actually gave them such teamsThe trailers have showed Gardenia, Candice and Volkner with their DP-aces (Roserade, Abomasnow and Luxray), whereas if they would've had their Pt-teams those would've been Roserade, Froslass and Electivire.
