Let’s explore the Pokémon games we hope to see in 2024. From classic remakes to new adventures, here are our top picks:

Gens 1-3 on Nintendo Switch:
- With the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance libraries available on Nintendo Switch Online, it’s time for the first three generations of Pokémon games to make their appearance. Imagine reliving the nostalgia of Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald on the Switch. Whether bundled or sold separately, this would be a win for players and The Pokémon Company alike.
A New Mystery Dungeon:
- While Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX was a remake, fans crave a fresh entry. Imagine a new Mystery Dungeon game with stunning graphics, an expanded roster (up to at least Gen 8), and captivating storytelling. It’s time to explore dungeons as Pokémon once again.
Remasters and Revivals:
- Pokémon Conquest, a tactical RPG, deserves a second chance. Its gameplay shines, but dated DS graphics held it back. Additionally, revisiting the Orre region in a remastered Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness would be a treat for fans. These titles could breathe new life into the series.
Pokkén Tournament 2:
- The original Pokkén Tournament was a gorgeous Pokémon fighting game. With other series like Super Smash Bros. seemingly on hiatus, now is the perfect time for a sequel. Imagine refined mechanics, a robust story mode, and a roster featuring Pokémon from recent generations.
Pokémon Black 3 & White 3:
- While Generation 10 may be a few years away, a new core title or remake could fill the gap. Since Gen 4 remakes are already here, why not shift focus to Gen 5? Surprise us, Game Freak! Just as Black 2 & White 2 did in 2012, a third set of games set many years later would be intriguing.
