So, what are the chances of getting both a Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remake and a Let's Go Johto this generation? Even though I hate Let's Go, it would give Gen 9 that much needed extra year of development. I say both in the same generation because Celebi is also part of the slideshow as well as Zarude, but Zarude itself is important by virtue of it being the Mythical Pokemon that's getting marketing attention right now.
Slim to none. They don't have the resources to make three sets of games (really four sets of "games" when you consider that the SwSh Expansion Pass is taking the place of what would otherwise be a third version for SwSh) in 4 years. At best if they want to extend development another year, I would think remake DLC would be the way to go. Ad considering that DP remakes are probably going to be missing something the fans wanted from the original, they could consider that as an opportunity to add some of the missing content for an extra charge, and while that would be scummy, I'd prefer it to an ORAS situation where the games are just left incomplete.
What about this
Traditional remakes in even numbered generations and Lets Go remakes in odd-numbered generations (So gen 9 would give us Lets Go).
This is more likely, if Let's Go Johto is ever going to happen, it'll be in 9th/10th gen either late on the Switch or (more likely) early on the Switch's successor.
