It amazes me that you aren't sick of Nintendo remakes yet. Either way, that's not a hindrance, they can always remake sinnoh and not post it as dlc... Remember, it's not as if the entire universe has to be in one game, just the parts they want to post.@Blue Knight But if they did that, then they couldn't capitalize on remakes.

For instance, the orange islands were never part of the original series of games, and may or may npt be in the manga. Dlc could be a good excuse to bring it into the game, and it doesn't even have to relate to the plot, it can just be another area to play and explore. Same with other one-shot wonders like the sevii islands and the battle frontier. Things like hoenn and kalos, even orre, could possibly be ported and made to match current technology.
To be fair, a few of you are saying there's no reason to add (more) dlc to Pokemon, but Pokemon is probably the first game in history to use dlc.
I feel it would be quite interesting if dlc for this was instated like dlc was for rbygsc, where you had to be in a specific place at a certain time to get it, and all you had to spend was your time.
Panda, I feel like you completely misunderstood me. I never said anything about all regions being in a game, I suggested the exact opposite; and the point with the Orange Islands and the Battle Frontier was only an example. The point I was making with that was that DLC has a lot of room for new possibilities. The universe has wormholes, and time travelers, beings that twist space and time, I think your thinking is too limited where that's concerned. I'm not asking about the methods of DLC that's been used, but how you all think it will be implemented.What's there to be sick about? If anything, I'd rather be sick from a lack of remakes than there being remakes. There's honestly nothing wrong with an old game getting a fresh coat of paint. And yes, you could make the argument that they're making money off of that which they've already done. That pretty much applies to sequels too. Plus, you can make the counter-argument that a newer, younger audience gains access to games that they'd otherwise have to spend a fortune on.
Anyway, your point with Sinnoh is what I was already suggesting in my post anyway. It's just that many people seem to be under the impression that Game Freak will suddenly decide that making a Pokemon game with all regions makes complete business sense. It's an unrealistic, idealized game for the franchise.
You make a valid point with anime filler, but that's assuming they even wish to follow up on that and not just make an entirely different game based around it. The only time the games attempted to exclusively follow the anime's plot was Yellow, which was some time ago. This isn't to say they couldn't make anime/manga exclusive DLC content for Pokemon, but for it to be worthwhile it would have to offer Pokemon that are unobtainable, which depends on what list of Pokemon they decide to use in the next generation.
Ignoring all that however, canon game regions would be completely out of the question since they would make better standalone games, rather than DLC.
That sentiment is rather wishy-washy. You could technically argue that yes, DLC is prevalent in Pokemon. But that is simply because the content is already present within the game data. Get an event Mew? Already in the data. Get an event item? Already in the data. The kind of data you're talking about is more akin to expansions, where entirely new or rewritten code is introduced to the game, requiring those who don't have the expansion to own it or not play with friends.
Is it possible for them to sidestep these issues? Yes, but only if they are smart about it and implement the data beforehand. And again, this all depends on if it's worthwhile for the audience, plus makes perfect business sense from their end.

Because why lock it behind a paywall? If it makes more money they would release it as a new game. And if it doesn't then why do it at all? That's just how economics work but who knows maybe they have a different plan.If they are going to make another game with the exact same graphics and sometimes character assets why can’t they make it a dlc expansion sense they they allow trading between games anyway, it shouldn’t be a problem, unless the download size is too big.
It would cost money because just like a new game it took effort to make. It would make money because it would improve the game while costing less than a new one. And sometimes the most economical way isn’t the way that gets more people to buy or be excited about a product. Not everyone wants to have to buy a ton of full games to catch em all.Because why lock it behind a paywall? If it makes more money they would release it as a new game.

As long as they're free, I'm cool with itHow would you feel about DLC regions in the next console version of Pokemon?
The issue would come with splitting the playerbase. You'd either make these Pokémon limited to only people who buy the DLC, meaning that online matches would be split into who did or didn't buy the DLC. Or, everyone gets the data and only the people who paid can catch them in the wild. Then you'd run into the issue of trading these DLC Pokémon, effectively ripping off those who bought the DLC and now anyone could get them.What if they were to make a bunch of Pokémon after the game is over. Why can’t they let you buy a 10$ lure to get a ton of new pokemon to come out of hiding?
