Pokemon’s Greatest Hits are Trapped on Old Consoles, and That Needs to Change

While remakes can be enjoyable, they’re uncommon and often struggle to meet fans’ expectations for the original games. For example, many were disappointed when Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire left out the Battle Frontier from Pokemon Emerald, and others questioned why Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl didn’t include much content from Platinum. Ultimately, re-releasing older Pokemon games is important because used copies often cost more than the original consoles they were played on.
