So I just picked up legends Arceus and I began thinking, what’s the chance gamefreak sees the success of the Zelda team reusing and upgrading the Breath of the Wild map to create Tears of the Kingdom, and decide to do that with legends Arceus? What if they remade Platinum but in the style of Scarlet and Violet as an “apology” for the poor quality of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, basically forcing loads of people to essentially buy DPP remakes twice in one decade?

I mean it’s not that crazy is it? Port the map into the SV engine, add the dungeons as separate entities, add detail on top of the already existing map to add the cities, towns and routes etc and so fourth. It’d take some finagling to keep players on a beaten linear path like the original but I don’t see why it couldn’t work.

Plus maybe it’s just me, but why the fuck would the announce a Pokémon presents 2 months in advance if there isn’t at least something big coming up?

you're acting like Gamefreak didn't pioneer selling the same map twice with games like Platinum to begin with.

anyway no I don't think this is realistic, because turning the PLA map into a modern Sinnoh map for Platinum would be a huge undertaking. they can't just use the same map 1:1, they would need to add cities which would require a ton of assets to be made, they would need to make the various parts of Sinnoh that weren't in PLA from scratch. they would need to redesign major portions of it to keep the flow of Platinum. at that point so little of PLA would remain except for some very basic geometry that they may as well be making an entirely new game.

AGL but fuck that is genius that is something Game Freak / TPCI would have 100th percent would have did plus lock it as a Switch 2 exclusively sell it for $90 USD plus tarffis and boom easy money

this is what plass should have been, but instead of a map filled with activities and dungeons and gyms and facilties, it was all wiped away for empty fields, crossdressers, and a trans genie postgame. disgusting fucking shovelware

You do know the only mid-gen hardware jump they ever did was forced on them? Nintendo folded home and portable hardware/software divisions into a single hardware/software division after Switch launched and got EVERY studio working on Switch games for release from 2017, Game Freak were no exception, they had to start supporting Switch for 2019 anyway, so shat out a project to allow Masuda to relive the early years before fucking off to slap some shape into TPC. Never mind, if they DID have the mentality you manchild little fuckers think they have. because they don't care for poors, people who vote themselves poors or autistic manchildren, they'd have already charged people for the SV upgrade instead of ;letting it go for freesies.
Yes lad, this is what happens eventually - costs of producing a game inevitably see costs of retail rise, as all the hands in the pot attempt to recoup their ever increasing spends on the projects. Don't like it, pirate it. But stop pretending like they're persecuting (You) in particular. You braindead monkey bastards dragged us here by proving retards WILL pay real-world money for a cosmetic skin for a horse. Just like you monkeys demanded ever ludicrous numbers of pixels, then bitch because every game takes a half a terabyte of space on your unit.

No, mong retards who think they're still a cucial critical part of Pokémon tghink that. Real fans know and understand the only oldfag at Game Freak who cared about remakes was the oldfag fuck who'd been there since '89 and the kid hired on in 2000 to bring it to the new millennium didn't have that crucial nostalgiafaggotry required for dickriding the past.

I’d argue that to be the fun of it. Rewriting routes to fit the geometry of legends arceus could be interesting and give a much more fresh take on the remake idea.

>>57984143
sure, it could be fun. I'm just saying it would be a lot more work than just copy+pasting the map.
