According to many rumors from industry insiders, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are currently in the works for a 2021 release window and may possibly also feature Gigantamaxing. Judging by the treatment the Super Mario series received with its 35th anniversary this year, it's expected that The Pokemon Company will have big plans for 2021. RELATED: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver Switch Ports Have One Big Problem The Nintendo DS saw the remastered versions of the second generation of Pokemon games, HeartGold and Soulsilver. And though they already received that colorized remake back in 2009, players could expect ports to the Switch happening next year. Beginning with FireRed and LeafGreen, the Pokemon franchise began remastering its highly successful games long ago on the Game Boy Advance and has not stopped since.

This is because The Pokemon Company is no stranger to remaking and porting old, nostalgic titles to the newest console. The Wikipedia page for "video game remake" pops up with remastered images of Pokemon Red and Blue sitting side-by-side with the original Game Boy handheld console. One main reason for this is that next year will see the 25th anniversary from one of the most beloved franchises in video game history, having broken the mold back in 1996 with the original triage, Red, Blue, and Yellow. The Pokemon rumor mills have been churning along throughout 2020.
