This weekend, on February 27th, the Pokémon series will celebrate 25 years since the launch of the original Game Boy titles.
Rumors have been circulating, and now the official Pokémon Twitter account seems to be joining in the fun. It is currently counting down with several generations of pocket monsters. With four days to go, the next tweet is shared saying “Let’s go, Sinnoh”.
Despite the fact that the same account points to other Pokémon games and generations in the daily countdown, this particular tweet has some fans pretty excited.
The Sinnoh region was first introduced in the fourth generation on the right Pokémon Diamond & Pearl for Nintendo DS.
Just in case you forgot, last month Spanish fansite Centro Pokémon reportedly confirmed Switch remakes of the Pokémon Diamond & Pearl DS titles were in development and would be unveiled around the time of Pokémon Day, on February 27th.
“Pokémon Center can confirm that, according to sources close to the company, remakes of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl, originally released in 2006 for Nintendo DS, are in development for Nintendo Switch.”
A much older rumor dating back to 2019 suggested that the Diamond and Pearl remakes would be about ‘let’s go catch’ (the catch mechanism first seen in the Pokémon: Let’s Go spell).
If that’s not enough, it will appear Poké Ball Plus, first released alongside the Let’s Go games, will be getting a timely reprint:
Keep in mind that we’re just a few days away from Pokémon’s 25th anniversary, so if there are any such announcements, don’t wait long. What do you think of this? Leave a comment below.
