“Black Bolt” and “White Flare” Sets Now Confirmed to Release in June, Hinting at “Black & White” Game Remakes?

Hope we get Dragon-type ex's for Reshiram, Zekrom, Haxorus and Hydreigon (the last one had a Dragon-type EX though)
 
I disagree. Following patterns, the same expectation would be remakes during Gen 10. Them coming next year is only expected by people who don't pay attention and for some reason think we get one every Gen.

That said, this is unlikely to hint at a remake. Why would they release it in June?
Uhm was talking about a tcg b&w set coming out upcoming summer. If you’re talking about B&W remake on games yes we all expect that.
 
This does beg the question

Will they do the multiple forms of pokemon like the following

Both male and Female Unfezants?
Red and blue striped Basculin?
Both zen and standard Darmanitans?
The Deerlings and Sawsbucks?
Male and Female Frillish and Jellicent?
The Therian Formes of the Genies?
Both Black and White Kyurem?*
Resolute form Keldeo
Pirouette Form Meloetta
And Genesect with his drives?

I excluded the Hisuian and Galarian Forms of pokemon based on what we got from 151 but if they do the above that's an additional 21 forms

* it should be noted that black Kyurem ex exists already from Surging Sparks (more like Surging Demand because I can't find a single pack anywhere because of the damn SIR Pikachu ex)
 
Okay, we know trainers pokemon ex are coming. What famous trainer are in unova and their Special Pokemon?
 
We will get that Unfezant ex that was implied with Pidove from Temporal Forces.

But the weird thing too is that we have gotten so many new cards of a lot of gen 5 pokemon whilst other generations are neglected...

What I think is, that they really planned something gen 5 related but scrapped it for unknown reasons. The go events, this set, khus hints etc. But I doubt there will be a new gen 5 gamę.But I'm Here for some gen 5 love in the tcg
 
If this is essentially a Unova version of 151, this could be one of the best sets in recent memory
I don't collect cards usually but if that's true I will collect this entire set. I like Gen 5 pokemons but didn't like BW video games they were kind of boring
 
Yep, definitly means we're getting Unova remakes, for sure. @_@ Just like how we got that Kanto remake last year, right? XD

Besides, BW3 already exists on the GBC, and it's better than anything Gamefreak would be able to make today, with how they (barely) Pokemon Work™ these days.

I kind of wish "Hinting at possible remakes" weren't in the title because now there's tons of speculation that we're magically getting remakes that haven't been announced or had a developer attached to them sometime next year, even though we're already getting Z-A in 2025 and the Switch is a dead console, making it unlikely for them to force out three new games for it next year.

Gamefreak is busy with Z-A and Gen 10, so we'd probably be looking at another BDSP-style remake dumped off to ILCA. I also can't imagine Gamefreak is interested in shipping a modern Pokemon game without all the casual fan favorites like Pikachu and Eevee since that approach in the original BW did not work very well for them and they've been course correcting ever since. But BW's workaround, the Dream World, is also a dated service they probably wouldn't attempt reviving either. So what would they even do?

Also, releasing all 156 Unova Pokemon in one set is more indicative to me that there aren't remakes coming. The set is dropping in Japan in June and even if there IS a remake it's not coming out that soon. So whenever the games would come out in Japan, most likely in the fall, there already would be nothing left to cross-promote in the TCG since they blew their entire roster in this dual set. For as smushed together BDSP and PLA were in the last year of gen 8's TCG, they still both got timely sets dedicated to them near release date. Not months in advance....

^ Before posting I ran my news story by a couple of people and we all thought it was better to address "OMG REMAKES?" so the point could be addressed. Leaving it out would just create even wilder speculation.

Where is the Switch a dead console? It just had two hard hitter titles this month and sold 60.000 units last week, double than any other console.
 
More dead in the sense the sequel is coming next year and presumably most development time is being put toward Switch 2 software at this point.

Not too sure. I think it’s still at least half a year away and it will probably just be a switch + so all games will still be playable. Xenochrinucles X is still coming out and that will probably the game that will be also put out early for switch 2.
 
"BW REMAKES??? Z-A DELAYED????"

me just sitting over here with the knowledge that:
* sv01 released about two months after the games in japan, and four months after the games in the west
* time gazer/space juggler released about two months after legends arceus in japan, and four months after the games in the west
