According to Centro Pokémon, as translated by Nintendo Life, remakes of the 2006 titles are currently in development.

"Pokémon Center can confirm that, according to sources shut to the company, remakes of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl , originally released in 2006 for the Nintendo DS, are in development for the Nintendo Switch ."

Both versions will likely be more similar to the more traditional Pokémon Sword and Shield mainline games and different the Pokémon: Let'south Become series.

It's expected to be announced during a special Nintendo Pokémon Direct celebrating #Pokémon25. This comes courtesy of Pokémon insider Kelios. February 27 also happens to be Pokémon Day in Japan, which celebrates the launch of the Red and Blue.

Per our analysis, there seems to exist a decent likelihood of a Diamond and Pearl remake happening. Nintendo has remade many of its past Pokémon titles, with games from Diamond and Pearl afterwards being the exception. Both Sword and Shield were built in a new engine on Nintendo Switch. While those games were criticized past longtime fans as being too easy and simplistic, especially when compared to the deeper more robust RPGs on the market, that did little to dissuade buyers. At the moment, Sword and Shield sit every bit the third-best selling Pokémon games of all fourth dimension. And considering the titles are just over a yr erstwhile, it's likely the games volition move higher up the listing.

For all intents and purposes, Nintendo needs a new Pokémon title every year or every other twelvemonth, regardless of if the gameplay is starting to get stale.
