Pokémon remake and port speculation

Overview

Speculation regarding the release of classic Pokémon titles on newer Nintendo hardware has intensified following social media activity from official accounts.

On August 11, the Pokémon Information Bureau posted an image of the character Red on Mount Silver. This led fans to predict a Nintendo Switch port of ‘Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver’, with some noting the timing coincided with ‘Mountain Day’ in Japan.

Following this, Nintendo of America posted a caption stating, “Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, the other is gold,” alongside a screenshot from the game Pookopia. This has further fueled rumors of a remake or port of the Johto-region titles for the Nintendo Switch 2, though no official confirmation has been provided.
