I don't think they'll announce BW remakes this early. They've been doing remakes in alternate generations for a while now. They will definitely announce SV DLC though

Speaking of SV, do we have a release date for that promised update yet?

They've done one remake per console generation. I expect to see today sv dlc, maybe a new mythical, home update, and, of course, pokemon sleep.

They said Late February, which translated from Corporate to english means the 28th of February at 23:59:59 :v:

the update almost definitely has a DLC tease in it, which is why they’re pushing it out either later today or, yes, tomorrow

But yeah, come to think of it I don’t believe we’ve ever had two remakes on the same console before unless you want to count Let’s Go which is both a remake of and a pseudo sequel to (despite following almost the exact same plot beats) Gen 1

Black and White are top-tier Pokemon games. I don't really get the adoration BW2 gets, but the base game was grand.

Then again I'm a Pokemon oldtimer who still thinks gen 2 is the best so :shrug:. Gens 5-7 were a span of time where my interest in Pokemon had dipped pretty severely, with gen 7 re-awakening my interest.

drat, that is a jacked up fuckin' Suicune. Meanwhile I didn't even notice there was anything different about the Virizion at first.

The DLCs being school trips are a perfect use of the setting, that's awesome. (Although I admit I was intially concerned they were just jumping straight to another Legends game)

This was my first Pikemon direct and I had no idea how much weird stuff other than the mainline games there is out there. Holy moly.

Wish we had gotten more infos on the SV DLC and what it means for postgame content but oh well.

I’m glad they didn’t announce Gen V remakes. I don’t want them attempting it on current Switch hardware. GameFreak can barely get a barren field running at a stable frame rate, they won’t be able to handle a bustling city.

Violet still has Iron Valiant, the single best Pokemon design in history. The smaller losses suck, but we all know who's still got the crown.

BW is the best game in the franchise and I love it so much.

They should never loving do the original dragon, it's entirely against the point of the game!

Basically 2 expansions like SwoShi but purchased together this time and the plots of each directly flow into each other.

Mostly that they're going to other regions, with a few glimpses of both the new legendaries and some of the Pokemon getting added.

I mostly internalized parts of the first one, which seems to be going for a Japanese festival vibe. Legendary is a Marshadow-looking imp guy with a mask, and the newly returning Pokemon includes Milotic.
