Haha, I've felt this way for a while. I did love FRLG and HGSS as a way to modernize those games with Gen 3's new infrastructure, and make them compatible with the rest of the series...But by the time we got to the 3DS, I just didn't have a-lot of interest in it. Pokemon's mechanics haven't changed quite as radically as they did with the move to Advanced, and we reached the point (at least, technologically) where old games could be re-released digitally instead.This, but more I'd rather have anything over any sort of remakes period.
I definitely don't disagree with the general idea that the primary benefit of remakes (getting to enjoy the original game with new mechanics) isn't necessary, you'll never hear me for a second argue that ORAS were unnecessary. They're way and away my favorite set of remakes on the sole basis of how the story was handled relative to the original games, and while they do have their share of faults, most of those faults don't tangibly impact how I enjoy the games anyway.Haha, I've felt this way for a while.

Diamond and Pearl are slow as a cow and is slower than the Gen 3 games. It still might look pretty but even the more text-filled games like BW and SM are faster than DP. They definitely did not age well at all (and a remake could help fix the awful Pokedex too)Well I think ORAS was needed because of the lack of special and physical split in Gen 3. I don't think DP is needed other than fan pandering 'cuz imo the games also hold up graphically. Mechanically it will be the same experience, that can't be send for if you play original Gen 1, 2 and 3 games vs remakes the experience is going to be different.
Imo they should concentrate on bringing a good port to Switch for D/P/Pt and then put effort into either more DLC for Gen 8 or jump to Gen 9.

I think that allthe remakes we had were very good (Idk if to include Lets go games cuz Idk if its considered 100 % a remake)Overall, I'm not overly concerned with justifying whether or not a given remake should exist. So long as the remake offers a fresh experience, I have no problem whatsoever with it existing. So long as I don't come out of having played a remake feeling as though it's the same thing with a facelift and that I could have gotten the same experience by blowing the dust off the original and replaying it, I'm happy.
I loved Gen 4, but you're right about the Dex; it was pretty bad. I started with Piplup and didn't realize that the only Fire types available in the game were the Fire Starter, Ponyta, and Heatran and I believe that was it. You would think that the Fuego Ironworks would have had a Fire type, but nope; they didn't think to include Magmar until Platinum. And even then, it was JUST Magmar and nothing else. Fire Types were left high and dry for Gen 4.Diamond and Pearl are slow as a cow and is slower than the Gen 3 games.

Not exactly. Houndour/Houndoom and Flareon were also added to Platinum.I loved Gen 4, but you're right about the Dex; it was pretty bad.

If the current series is the direction they have chosen to take, i support this 100%Unpopular opinion (at least it seems like it to me on here). I want the Pokemon anime to completely end. I feel that an anime really isn't needed anymore imo.
Oh really? My bad. Still though, doesn't change the fact that the original Duo only had 3 fire types; one of which was a Starter so only available if you chose it in the beginning (or traded) and the other a Legend available in Post Game. Kinda slim pickings.Not exactly. Houndour/Houndoom and Flareon were also added to Platinum.
That makes two of usI dont mind the art style of the DP remakes.

It doesn't bother me too. It reminds me of the Yokai Gakuen game, actually which I find kind of neat. Looking forward the crossover fanart. Don't fail me, internet!I dont mind the art style of the DP remakes.
