Top 5 Hopes / Predictions for Diamond & Pearl Remakes

What's up guys!
It's TyranitarTube

and welcome to

my top five hopes and predictions

for Diamond and Pearl remakes,

which are just around the corner
if all goes well.

There's a couple rumors
going off about other games

that could be announced then,

bit it's just got to be
Diamond and Pearl remakes.

Game Freak if you're watching
this right now,

this is a checklist that
if you knock off all five things

on this list, you are making
the perfect Pokemon game.

This is your cheat sheet
to make it a good game.

You do these fives things
and no one's going to complain

about this Diamond
and Pearl remakes.

Not only is no one going to complain,
but these games

will factually be twice
as better than Sword and Shield.

So I've talked about some
of these, but I want

to condense all five points
into one video,

so you guys are on board with me.

Number five.

Of course, I'm going to give you
the one I've talked about

the most straight off the bat
so you don't have to save it

for number one.

Megas.

There's not a single universe
where it is correct

for Dynamax to be in Sinnoh.

You want talk
about the possibilities,

you want to say there's more

to Dynamax than
what Eternatus did in Galar,

I don't care.

You're bringing...

You're making the old man
visit Sinnoh.

The old man took a road trip
to the entire world.

Stopped by Hoenn,
give something to Sootopolis man,

he's going to go to Sinnoh

and he's going to drop a Mega deuce

and the world's going
to be Megafied.

Some people bring up
"Garchomp already exists.

Cynthia, she gets Garchomp."

Hell no!

All right? We didn't
introduce Garchomp

in Gen 6 for Cynthia to get it.

Cynthia's getting new Megas.

What does she have on her team?

Milotic.

Cynthia's got Spiritomb,
Roserade, Gastrodon, Lucario,

Milotic, and Garchomp on her team.

Garchomp may be her strongest,
but her Mega

would have to be something
introduced in that generation.

So I don't know, what would they do?

Mega Spiritomb or something.

Or they do some next thing
and introduce

a new Mega Garchomp, but

let's just backtrack
a few steps and realize

so far there ain't going
to be no Megas

in the Sinnoh remakes,
so that's the biggest thing.

Number five on this list,
you cannot include Dynamax

in the Sinnoh lore.
You take it to Mega Evolution.

And on that note,
I'll talk about Mega Evolution,

Primal Dialga and Primal Palkia.

No G-Max Palkia, no G-Max Dialga.

We are going to have Primal forms

where Dialga shows off temporal power

and Palkia shows off infinite
spatial power.

Primal forms that make Dialga
and Palkia look like,

5% power remaining forms.

Just like Kyogre and Groudon
do in comparison.

I'll rants about this a bit.

I've had my fun with Dynamax.

I've done like 300 Pokemon battles

using Dynamax strategicially.

You get the double the health.

The thing they did with Dynamax
is that they branched it out

so anyone can Dynamax,

instead of the exclusive
30 in X and Y.

And then they added 30 in ORAS.

Anything can Dynamax.

The same concept
that was in Z-crystals

where they wanted to give
that potential to any Pokemon.

Dynamaxing is sick
'cause you can just

change up the strategy
at any moment

when you're facing your opponent.

You can bring it out
whenever you want,

even in a stupid situation.

And almost always
when you bring out your Dynamax,

you're going to force your opponent

to bring out their Dynamax.

So you always have
this Megatron battle

and all the other little things,
like you not being

able to flinch when you're Dynamaxed

and never being able
to miss a move.

It's all fun. It really is,
but that's only in the metagame.

In-game, you can't use
your Dynamax for the story.

You use it once for each Gym battle,

maybe you'll use it against Cynthia

and you use it against Cyrus.

And that's about it.

It's a form change
you can only get when the story

allows you to.

And talking metagame,

Mega Evolutions is way more fun
than Dynamax.

When I switch over and play
with Megas again,

it's so fun to Mega Evolve,
get your ability changed

and all that.

And besides, in terms of Dynamaxing,

it ends up recreating
the Mega Evolution feel anyway,

because everyone leans
towards the same Dynamax

if they're making their own team.

Lapras, Grimmsnarl.

Lapras sets up an Aurora Veil.

Grimmsnarl puts the opponent
to sleep almost.

All the fun stuff like
using Earthquake

on your opponent's Charizard,
because you know

he's going to Mega Evolve
into Mega X.

Switching out into a Ghost-type,

because you know Kangaskhan's
going to Mega Evolve

and get that overpowered ability.

But I don't want to talk about
the metagame,

because that's

not the main enjoyment
of the main game.

Mega Evolution just needs
to be back for the main story

we enjoy in Sinnoh.

Going up to Mt. Coronet,
fighting Mars, and all that.

I want to use my Mega Evolution.

And if they do it well,
the opponents will have

more Mega Evolutions
this time around as well.

G-Max is just not going to cut it.

Some people think you look
at the blue Calyrex and maybe

Calyrex is secretly from Sinnoh
and we're going to have

blue Dynamax there.

I just don't want him.

If you're fighting Cynthia
and she G-Maxed her Garchomp

and it looked all cool,
how excited would you really be?

Number four.

The models.

I made a whole rant
on this for like 20 minutes.

I'll put it out in a couple days.

Models in Pokemon is just
one of the biggest things

they've screwed up.

There's nothing wrong
with introducing 3D models

into Pokemon with Pokemon X and Y,

but Game Freak did,

not even little to nothing.

They did absolutely nothing
moving forward from that point.

Every animation looks
the exact same.

All the dog Pokemon
have the exact same animation.

There's no idle animations.

The biggest thing I want
in Diamond and Pearl remakes

is to bring back life
into the Pokemon that you're using,

so that when I send out Infernape,

his animation is not the same
as what Infernape

looks like in Sword and Shield.

That's what creates life
between the different versions.

We all love the way
how Milotic looks.

It cannot look like this
when you're fighting

Cynthia's Milotic.

It needs to have a 3D version
of this, for example.

The animation just needs
to be changed.

And that way, it feels like
the whole generation's revamped

and something fun.

There's so much more
to go on for this point,

but we'll save it for the rant.

It's one of those things
where you don't know

how much you wanted
until they actually do it

in the game.

Change all the animations.

Number three, a perfected Overworld.

I'm not talking about the models
and animations in games,

I mean the Overworld.

You want to talk about the three?

I'm referring to things
like when Zacian and Zamazenta

popped up in the postgame cutscene

and they're moonwalking around,

and it feels like a game from 2004,

just upscaled to Sword
and Shield graphics.

The animation pool
of everything in the Overworld

needs to be upgraded and perfected.

The game needs to feel immersive

versus what Sword
and Shield gave us.

Sword and Shield needs
to feel like the prototypes.

Something we were never
meant to play.

You know, more than
when you walk around

seeing Gyarados loch ness monster
chilling there,

I want to see him waving about.

I want to see little

Donphans...

Wait. That's not dolphin.

I want to see little fish Pokemon
jumping out of the water

and splashing back in.

I want to see fish Pokemon
jumping out of the water

and accidentally
landing on the land.

You got up to them, push, hey,
they're just flopping

on the soil.

You know, when you're walking
around the wild area

in Pokemon teleport
out of nowhere.

I want that to be blended in more.

You don't want to be constantly
reminded that,

yeah, Pokemon are loading.

You just want it to be immersive.

The Pokemon should load
in the distance.

Come on. This is the same game
that could run

Breath of the Wild.

You can load the Pokemon
in the distance.

I want during cutscenes
for our character

to not be smiling.

When Eternatus is threatening
the world,

when Palkia and Giratina
are threatening the world,

I want when you're fighting Mars

that she can actually change
your facial expressions

and she gives you a dirty look
before fighting you.

Like a glary look not dirty.

God.

When we're fighting
all those legendaries

like in the postgame,
I want it to be like

how it was when you saw
Mewtwo in X and Y.

Perfect the Overworld.

Add as many animations
as you can, make it

as immersive as you can.

It may seem like I'm asking
for a lot, but Game Freak

being game developers,
this is what they do.

Instead of making Gyarados
chilling in the like

making them animate around.

This is, this is your job.

You guys have the potential
to kill it in these fields,

so kill it.

Breath of the Wild may be from 2017.

Immerse the gameplay
and catch up to that

and make the game feel insane
when you're in the Overworld.

You only get one chance
to make Sinnoh remakes.

Do it sick.

Number two.

This is the biggest one
on this list.

Expanded story in postgame.

Just doing the first three things
makes this game

twice as good as Sword and Shield.

Number two.

This is a whole new thing.

Expanded story in postgame.
In other words,

the little things that actually
complete all the gaps

and just make it feel
like a fun journey

every step of the way.

In Sinnoh, I actually enjoy
that you needed to soft complete

the dex, just see all the Pokemon
to move forward

and get to that final island.

If you didn't enjoy that,
you're a wuss and you wanted

the game handed to you.

The whole island after you did
just a bit of work

was rewarding.

And besides, you literally
see 95% of the Pokemon

by the time you beat the Champion.

Just talk to the granny,
see Dialga, and boom,

Sinnoh postgame.

Lets you go to the last island
and hang out.

From the moment you
become Champion,

add a story that ties
into that island,

because as far as I can remember,
that island in the postgame

was just open for exploration.

There wasn't any story
tying it all together.

Check out all the potential
you have in the Sinnoh postgame.

Your rival's father
is a Battle Frontier Brain.

I don't know about you,
but as a kid,

I looked at Frontier Brains
above the Champion

or at least near Champion level.

Add him into this postgame story
that involves

the last island.

Have Team Galactic's final stand.

Have it so Cyrus summoning
Dialga and Palkia

in the main story upset
the continuum and woke up Giratina

and he's flying in the postgame.

Add a story with
an original story like Zinnia.

Have it tie into the postgame island

alongside this legendary.

It'll be the Delta Episode,
but with Giratina threatening

the postgame.

Where even Galactic is
in shock and regrets

what they did
and you saved their butts.

Or better yet,
involve the opposite cover legendary

into the postgame.

Think of all kinds of scenarios.

Here's one.

In Pokemon Pearl remakes,
Dialga's the one

who's woken up and is going ham

in the postgame island.

And you get a hint
to go to Turnback Cave,

and just like in Pokemon Emerald,

where you go up Sky Pillar,
you talk to that Rayquaza

and he just flies off,
Giratina flies off

from the Turnback Cave

and into the postgame island.

You go to the postgame island,

Dialga's there fighting Giratina.

And at the end of the cutscene,
Giratina opens up

a portal and sends everyone
present there

just into the Distortion World.

They all go flying in.

And it's just kind of awkward.

There's a portal in the middle
of town and the townspeople

are all watching like
"What the freak is this?"

just like in Sootopolis
when Kyogre and Groudon

where bathing in their water.

You know, the fashion of the portal.

You save your game,
you go in the portal,

and boom, Distortion World time.

Maybe Cynthia's there,
maybe Cyrus is there.

Who knows?

Just Platinum vibes though.

Postgame vibes.

And most importantly,
Delta Episode vibes.

It's very important.

Bring back Delta Episode vibes.

That was a postgame done well.

Maybe even include Barry's father.

He's caught up in this as well.

Barry deserves to have
more screen time.

And he has a whole father.

That was so much potential
for fun dialogue.

Everyone's trapped in here
and as you go

through the Distortion World,
you keep running

into Barry and his Father
all over the place.

And meanwhile, Mesprit,
Uxie, and Azelf

are helping you get
through the Distortion World

just like they did in Platinum.

Anyhow, to conclude,
you make it to the end of the puzzle

talking with Team Galactic grunts
on the way here all

"Bruh, I don't want to be here."

And on that final platform,
Dialga standing across Giratina.

You walk up, Giratina
joins your party,

you fight Dialga,
and the arc's over,

and everyone's free
from the Distortion World.

World's back to normal,
you have the island to explore now

and the rest of the legendaries
in postgame

including Barry's Father.

There you go. The Platinum episode

for Diamond and Pearl remakes.

The most important thing
I did here was not only

bring Giratina into the postgame,

but tie it into the different
postgame locations.

Everything's twisted together,
the final island, Giratina,

that's what makes
a good Delta Episode

like postgame.

That's the Platinum Episode.

There's one thing ORAS
did was create probably

the best postgame
in any Pokemon game.

Zinnia didn't exist in Emerald.

Deoxys was unobtainable
event legendary.

Rayquaza was just standing
there atop Sky Pillar.

All of that was twisted together

into a beautiful story.

That's what you got to do
for Platinum.

Anyhow, that's number two.

Before I move on to number one,

a word from our sponsors!

Bro, we made it.

Y'all didn't think we could
get here, did you?

We're in the endgame now.

So this video was sponsored
by SurfShark.

SurfShark, you may have
heard of, is a VPN,

a privacy protection tool.

Y'all think you're safe
going on whatever sites you do

until Colress starts tracking
your IP address.

SurfShark encrypts your data
when you're accessing

the internet.

It can mask your location
to a whole other place

in the world.

This means you can go on Netflix
or other YouTube channels

that are blocked.

And if you're not allowed
to watch their videos

in your country,
you just change to another country

and now you can watch them.

Checkmate Colress.

I'm not KSI's neighbor.

I live in the United Kingdom.

All you got to do is head to
surfshark.deals/tyranitar.

That's right. I got my own code.

And you'll get 83% off
and three extra months

for free.

There's also a 30-day
money back guarantee.

So head on to the site
and get you a VPN.

All right. Back to the show.

Number one. I'll keep this simple.

It's not the thing I want
the most, it's controversial,

but it deserves to be
the number one thing

in this list, and it's DLCs.

I don't like the idea of DLCs.

On the Switch, Pokemon games
are already 30% more expensive.

But as a DLC to add
another 30% of the cost

for additional content,
isn't in good taste.

But unfortunately,
for Game Freak's lazy [ _ ] team,

it's important.

Because we have to pay for it,
they have to make it good.

And that's the dilemma.

That makes me want them
to keep doing

the forsaken DLC.

If Game Freak produces
a DLC for the Shaymin event,

expanding it for the Darkrai event,
expanding it.

May I remind you
the potential Darkrai has,

especially with how
he was hanging with Dialga

and Palkia in the movie,

and even has a distribution

where he has the signature moves,

Roar of Time and Spatial Rend
in his moveset.

He literally have those moves

in your Diamond and Pearl games.

And even if you don't count
the movies, the concept

is still there.

Darkrai has potential to be huge!

Expand it right and you could
have a whole city

be in a dark dilemma

where everyone is sleeping.

I'll save this for a future video,

but you could have the same
kind of dilemma

as you had with Kyogre
and Groudon tearing

apart the worlds with their weather,

but it's Darkrai with putting
city after city to sleep

one by one.

Even Professor Rowan knocked out.

And whenever you try
to enter those blacked out areas,

your rival Barry's there
and he stops you

from going inside

and you just can't go forward.

And without anyone telling you,
if you go take a boat,

go to Fullmoon Island,
capture Cresselia and come back,

your rival's suddenly sleeping
at the border of the city.

And now you can enter
into the city, you find Darkrai

and you capture him
and the whole world wakes up.

See, it's just fun, isn't it?

And I was just talking about
the Darkrai event.

They could do
a whole Shaymin event as well

with story.

And of course, an Arceus event.

That's the one with
the biggest potential.

And they can even go
further beyond,

but I'll explain that
in another video.

But that's just it.

Game Freak will never
make a Darkrai event

like this if they don't
make it a DLC.

The kind of postgame
you'll get if it's not a DLC

is the Swordward
and Shieldward stuff

where they didn't have
custom themes

where Zacian and Zamazenta
didn't have complete

animations and were moonwalking.

The dilemma, the unfortunate
equivalent exchange

is a DLC.

But if they make us pay for it,
they can and will make

a DLC this good
for just the Darkrai event.

The first DLC event
would have both the Shaymin

and the Darkrai event,

the second DLC Arceus and beyond.

So then, Game Freak,
the number one thing

on my list for the game
we avoided 15 years for

and once they pass,
we'll have to wait

20 years before we enter
Sinnoh confirmed territory again,

is for you to make these games right.

Add a truly passionately done DLC

to seal the deal and make these one

of the best Pokemon games.

You do these five things
on this list which is not

even far-fetched

and I'll take back
every little thing I said

about you Masuda.

It'll be hard to not make
another joke,

but I will never make it.

That's it. That's my video for today.

Going to shank that like button
and I'll see you

on the next video.

Take care.
