Pokemon Black and White could get a remake announced soon. Read on to learn about this and our speculations about when the Generation 5 remake could possibly be announced and released.
Pokemon Unova Remakes Teased
Zekrom and Reshiram Return
Pokemon recently shared on Twitter (X) two gifs featuring Zekrom and Reshiram. The two legendary Pokemon from the Unova region were shown soaring off into the horizon, accompanied by black and white heart emojis as captions for the posts.
As Pokemon Day approaches, fans speculated that the recent posts showcasing the two legendary Pokemon might not just be promotions for their addition to the Scarlet and Violet DLC, "The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk." Instead, fans wondered if these posts are subtle teases for the remakes of Pokemon Black and White.
Amidst the growing anticipation, fans speculated that the potential remakes of Pokemon Black and White might be unveiled in a Pokemon Presents presentation. This periodic video presentation is known for announcing updates and news in the Pokemon world. As there's no official announcement for a Pokemon Presents on Pokemon Day yet, stay tuned for updates on the event.
Fueling speculation, fans drew parallels to when Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, remakes of the 2006 Sinnoh games on the DS, were announced at the end of the Pokemon Presents on Pokemon Day 2021.
Pokemon Unova Remakes Release Date Speculations
Nearly two years have passed since the release of the last mainline Pokemon game, Scarlet and Violet. This aligns with the typical Pokemon release schedule, suggesting the ideal moment for a new Pokemon game. With this schedule in mind, the remakes of Pokemon Black and White might potentially hit the shelves at the end of November or early January next year.
Amid the enthusiasm on Twitter (X) about Pokemon Black and White, some fans voiced concerns. This stemmed from the mixed reception of the Sinnoh remakes, highlighted by user @Smqkeyy's response on Pokemon's post: "If this is a gen 5 remake, do me a favor and make this one good. You guys absolutely ruining gen 4 still hasn't been forgotten."
Pokémon has been criticized and called on by fans to elevate its more recent games, especially in light of its creature-catching game competitor, Palworld.
Palworld, dubbed as the "Pokémon with guns" game, saw massive worldwide success in just a short amount of time following its release. You can read our thoughts on what Palworld can teach Pokémon at the link below.
