Future remakes of the Pokemon saga would undergo major changes
The Pokémon saga is more present than ever. During the past month of February the company launched the arrival of two new remakes for the video games of the past generation. The Brilliant Diamond and Shimmering Pearl editions will arrive by the end of 2021 with a change of developer and with some controversy due to their graphic style.

Can entering the Pokémon casino compare to playing a slot machine on an online website or spinning an online roulette game ? The new rules equate it. The alternative solution that the saga could opt for is to eliminate the casino in future remakes, as it has already valued in other recent editions. Farewell to our hopes of acquiring a precious Porygon. And zero options to add to the team that level 40 Larvitar from Pokémon Crystal, the most precious Pokémon of the second generation. A new
normative order “The game contains elements that encourage or teach to play games of chance. These gambling simulations refer to games of chance that are normally carried out in casinos or gambling halls ”. That is the criterion on which PEGI is based to classify games that include some type of reference to these disciplines as not suitable for minors. In recent years there have already been other cases in which other sagas have had difficulties when
