Pokémon announces Switch remakes, open-world "pre-makes," all the e-makes you could want
Big news in the world of Pocket Monsters today, as The Pokémon Company announced ambitious new plans for its long-running pet-war franchise. As with, like, all video game news these days, the big announcements were largely backwards looking, albeit in an ambitious sort of way, as the partially-Nintendo-owned company announced that it’ll be releasing Switch remakes of 2006's Pokémon Diamond and Pearl later this year. That’s pretty standard practice—almost every generation of Pokémon games has gotten some kind of updated re-release at this point, so Diamond and Pearl were due—except for the other game TPC just announced: An open-world exploration game titled Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which looks far more ambitious than anything the series has tried before.
