Diamond and Pearl

Discussion

Honestly y’all have to consider with the DLC announcements what this entails for the DP remakes. By breaking the yearly release cycle with a DLC that very likely requires less resources, that gives GF more time to develop a proper DP remake. Say what you want about the lack of DP or the greedy DLC or whatever, fact of the matter is that DP will almost certainly be a better game, we still get some mainline content, and overall it’s less money than if we kept up the yearly release schedule. I honestly think it’s a good thing for the series.

Copied from another comment,

Red and blue were GB, then GBC came out, and they were released on GBA. GS from GBC to GBA to DS. RS from GBA to DS to 3DS. DP from DS to 3DS to Switch. Every remake thus far has skipped a console, so I’m not at all surprised it was skipped on 3DS, and DP is very likely on switch.

But do we even know if GF is going to actually make DP remakes. Didint we think it was gonna happen for the 3ds or earlier for the switch. I'm losing faith man I'm starting to worry that we wont ever get it.

Yearly? Ultra Sun & Moon were 2017, Sword & Shield is 2019.

Edit: People consider Let's Go mainline games? Huh.

People count LGPE as mainline, released in 2018.

Let’s Go is considered mainline, so that’s the 2018 game

No, it is totally the worst thing they could do. First cut half the pokemon and then letting people pay to bring them back.

with people who paid for it. and using the scummy online that costs 20 per year

LMAO since when is paying for online service "scummy". You've had to do that on all other game systems for years, nintendo just finally caught up and theres is 1/3 the price. Far from "scummy"

ok message me when you can join 3 max raid battles in a row without being disconnected.

Damn that $20 a year really breaks the bank huh?

for you maybe not. but for some people is hard to pay a year of online on different countries. its not because you live on a first world country and have the conditions to do pay 20 a year that everyone else does. stop beign selfish

also id be great if the PAID online worked right. smash has lag, splatoon has disconnects, mk8dx has lag too and i cant even join a max raid battle on sword without being kicked out or being disconnected on the middle of the raid. seriously, how delusional can you be do defend two multi millionaire companies that refuse to do the bare minimum on 2019?

This seems to be something people missed, but the Pokémon are free, it’s the new areas (where you can catch them) that cost money. So, you can still transfer with Pokémon Home whether or not you buy the expansion.

BossOpOP•

You can access all the Pokémon added for free without the DLC, and like I said, you can say what you want about the DLC, this post is about diamond and pearl and I just think it’s ridiculous that people are scrutinizing GF for rushing SwSh while also being pissed about no DP announcement. This is clearly what’s best for DP

You're delusional if you think they didn't just cut this content from the main game to sell to boot lickers like you.

BossOpOP•

Lmao this post isn’t about the DLC, read the title buddy. Regardless of whether this DLC has been sitting dormant ready to go since SwSh came out of they’re still developing it now, which they very likely are given the release dates, it’s a reason to delay DP by a year. It gives them a year to still have content floating around, regardless of quality, and have DP ready for 2021, likely a complete game due to the extr year of dev time
