Gen 4 will feel out dated by gen 8, like how gen 3 felt outdated with gen 6.
Gen 3 feel out of date to me around gen 5
Gen 4 will feel out dated by gen 8, like how gen 3 felt outdated with gen 6.
It's outdated at this point and has been for a while along with most of the other Gens, even the first two remakes are outdated now.Sinnoh remakes will probably happen on Switch with Gen 8, Gen 7 is following the pattern of Gen 5, but imo Sinnoh doesn't need a remake I feel Gen 4 holds up pretty well.
With Alola being such a popular tourist destination, it explains why there are Pokémon from every previous region present in Alola's ecosystem. But the alternate forms for Kanto Pokémon is indicative of a much older, possibly ancient, connection to Kanto that no other region's influence has been able to duplicate. I don't know if this connection translates to a real-life historical influence of feudal Japan over tribal Hawaii, but it'd be interesting to see the historical parellels in the games' story once they come out (because you know that all the history buffs on the internet will be quick to point them out.)
As far as what remakes we're getting next, I really don't care. I just want to enjoy Sun and Moon first, before I worry about the next remakes.
They are too cute!
And for everyone who wants to see the upcoming plushies:

Guess it's just me then lol. I wonder at which point they'd stop with the remakes.
Unless they decide to do something new or the sales aren't good(Unlikely), never. They are great for nostalgia and now with Megas and Regional Variants the remakes have more potential.
Japan and Hawaii do have connections, but nothing nearly as ancient. The first record of Japanese contact with Hawaii was in the early 1800s as survivors of a wrecked Japanese ship washed up on Hawaii. There wasn't much more contact between the two countries until the late 1800s when Japan officially allowed emigration to Hawaii for the first time in 1885. This was only three years before the U.S. annexed Hawaii in 1888. So Japan does not have a lot of roots in Hawaii, much less than the continental U.S. did at the time.
From an historical perspective, it is Micronesia and Polynesia that had the greatest impact on Hawaiian culture and biodiversity.
Edit: Even if Japan did have a big ancient connection with Hawaii... wouldn't explain why Sinnoh, Johto, and Hoenn were left out.
You killed me with the plushies. Now, I want plushies. I need an army of Pokémon plushies on my desk too. It will be pretty fun to work with Litten stares at me.
I know the Chespin on my desk always makes me smile and last night my sister bought me an adorable Pumpkaboo to join him. I wouldn't mind them turning into an army all over my desk! I need a chubby Alola Raticate too!
An egg incubator of sorts was confirmed today in the Nintendo Minute, @7:10. The hot springs at Poke Pelago will function to speed up the hatching of eggs!
Yes!
So I have an interesting thought on the Alolan Pokemon League and it's more or less the pipe dream of most pokemon fans. Creating your gym. From what we've gathered is that during the course of the game the Alolan pokemon league is being built. More then likely the Kahunas's will become the Elite 4 and the trial captains will become the gym leaders. Now what would be cool is when this happens in your game you are asked to be gym leader and you are allowed to create your own gym and what type and what pokemon you will use. Then you can share your gym through street pass like the secret bases from ORAS. Now when you receive street pass data you can use other people's gym data for the 8 gyms in your game. I would think this could work through a Pokemon league office building where all your passerbys are collected in a room and you can battle them to see if you like their team and if you want to be a gym leader in your game. Also through this feature you could share your league through the streetpass data and have players go through your pokemon league challenge.
Nah, I think the 8th gym will be held for Guzma, so it can make another Gen 1 reference.
And that's to say nothing of the sort of gentrification-like concept of replacing a traditional rite of passage of an island region with the mainland's standard League concept, but I think that's a separate discussion.
Yep, I have been thinking about the implications of that concept since the Chinese leak said we were going to "build a league" Considering that our Character is also a recent arrival to Alola from Kanto it just has all sorts of unfortunate implications and and harks back to the colonial concept of "Bringing Culture" to a place. I could easily imagine Japan had a similar concept during their colonial phase.
But yeah, different discussion.
