Summary

• Pokemon Black and White Remake speculation has been ongoing for years, and things have been amplified by recent "leaks".

Conversations about The Pokemon Company redoing the fifth-generation titles have been ongoing for years, and over recent times, more and more "leaks" have arisen.

Pokemon Black & White Has Been Given A HD-2D Overhaul By A Fan

A Pokemon fan has provided an idea of what a Black & White HD-2D remake might actually look like.

But strangely, as the biggest leak of all, the Pokemon gigaleak, passes its tenth day in the public eye, news about these supposed remakes has been inconspicuously absent.

Are The Pokemon Black And White Remakes Real?

Black and White remake rumors have been happening for a while now, but have really kicked into a new gear as of this year.

In February, fans started to believe Nintendo was teasing the remakes. After that, the rumor mill began to turn faster and faster, culminating early last month when trademarked Pokemon TCG set names seemingly pointed toward Black and White content, but nothing came.

Fast-forward a month, and the Pokemon gigaleak started. We got lore on how Pokemon and humans had children together, details on the full creation myth, the potential setting of the next mainline games, plans for scrapped content, and even news on how the Pokemon creators were worried about arson attacks following Ash leaving the anime. But again, no news on the supposed Pokemon Black and White remakes.

In fact, Black and White have been arguably the most neglected games from these leaks, with minimal information coming out at all. We did find out that Black and White 2 had no new Pokemon due to the first game's backlash, and that they remade Yoshi's Egg in the game's engine, but that's about it.

So what exactly does it mean? Probably, that these remakes never existed in the first place, or at least they were nowhere near as close as suggested. Take this with a pinch of salt, but you'd have assumed that if the Black and White remakes were real, given the sheer amount of data about upcoming Pokemon games that has been revealed, they'd have been one of the first things shared.

Alas, they were not, and the wait goes on.
