> WHY DIAMOND/PEARL REMAKES ARE NOT DESERVED:
- All Nintendo DS games (fourth gen and fifth gen included) can be played on the Nintendo 3DS.
- All fourth gen games and above are wi-fi capable.
- The debut of Diamond and Pearl was seven years ago. Gap between RG and FRLG: 8 years. Gap between GS and HGSS: 10.
- Gameplay mechanics have not advanced and evolved enough to make DP entirely irrelevant to the state of modern Pokémon. This goes for graphics and other less important things.
- Game Freak loves to make money and it makes sense to revisit certain old settings after a long enough time has passed, but that time certainly has not come for Diamond and Pearl and it probably won't until the 3DS is retired as a console, which will take many years still as Nintendo milks the console dry.
