Next month, February 27, will mark 25 years since the original Pokémon Game Boy titles came out.
This also corresponds to “Pokémon Day,” and as usual, there will likely be a special presentation. So what can trainers around the world possibly expect, when there are big announcements?
Spanish fansite Centro Pokémon says sources close to the project have confirmed remakes of the DS titles Pokémon Diamond & Pearl are in development and will be unveiled next month. Here’s a rough translation, courtesy of Google:
“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.”
These new versions apparently would not like the Pokémon: Let’s Go games released on Nintendo Switch in 2018, and will be closer in style to the original DS releases from 2006.
Pokémon insider Multiple – who also happens to be Pokekalos’ webmaster – has backed up these latest claims. A few days ago they also told how a Pokémon Direct would take place next month.
