After over 12 years since its release, Pokémon Black and White may be making a comeback! Pokémon Presents may have teased the next Pokémon game, find out more here.
Plenty of Pokémon games have been remade in the past, such as Pokémon Gold and Silver into HeartGold and SoulSilver, Pokémon Red and Green into FireRed and LeafGreen and the newest edition: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
Now, after the newest Pokémon Presents was released on August 8, fans have started to look for clues as to what Pokémon game could be released next.
Pokémon Black & White Could Get Remakes
The newest Pokémon Presents shows us a lot of new Pokémon content coming our way this year, but some fans tried to look behind the curtains for more – and they think they've found something.
The Pokémon Company gave us a sneak peek into the new Scarlet and Violet DLCs – The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero – that will be released later this year. And some people believe that there were hints hidden in the trailer.

The new character Drayton, who looks like he could be related to Unova's Drayden (they have similar names, at least) is one part of speculations.
His Pokémon, Archaludon, looks like it was inspired by Unova's Driftveil Drawbridge (it's insane that people catch on to things like that).
Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
Besides these theories, there is enough reason to believe that the next Pokémon game will be a remake of Black and White.
Remakes for old Pokémon games have always come out in between releases of new generations of Pokémon games. Since the last remake was for gen 4, with Diamond and Pearl being remade, Pokémon Black and White are the next in line.
Now, Nintendo has not released any information on whether this is true, so don't get your hopes up too high, that this will happen in the near future. But, we can be pretty sure that it will be one of the next Pokémon game releases.
I really hope they bring back the season changing feature, that was so cool in Black and White!
