I don't consider it to be a possibility IMO. I don't think there's a lot of potential in using the same world a 3rd time, but what I think is that Unova lends itself very well to a Legends Arceus-like prequel game. It would explore Unova 1000 years before Black/White. And I feel like the Pokemon Company has to have seen the potential here too.

So my prediction is: Black and White remakes, maybe Black 2/White 2 remakes, and possibly a "Legends Kyurem" game

Makes me wonder what Unova was like before the colonizers from Galar and Kalos showed up and wiped most of the native inhabitants out.

Don't forget Paldea in the west.

I want more legend's games with that gameplay loop. I have been bored of pokemon for long time now, but that game was so refreshing.

I don't trust GF to do justice with either option. Gen5 was the last time they actually put in any effort.

You mean a pokemon release with actual effort behind it instead of a cash grab remake like with gen 4? Not gonna happen.

I wish, with 1+2 releasing on Switch, and some sort of Legends game, but we’re probably going to get a BDSP style remake of just B/W1, and then a Legends game. I don’t expect much from TPC and Game Freak anymore.

Sadly no chance... 😕

Highly unlikely. GF wants as many people to buy this game as possible, and I doubt they’ll tie its story to 10+ y/o games that they don’t even sell anymore.
