A remake of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl is being rumored after Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire gets a facelift later this year.

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were barely announced and rumors claimed that Diamond and Pearl remakes will follow suit. Chicolombia on PokeJungle spread the rumor that the names of the spin offs were Solar Diamond and Lunar Pearl and the themes will be Arceus awakening and blending night into day.

However, many Pokemon fans took the rumors lightly and made fun of the unfounded reports. This should be taken as a grain of salt until Nintendo reveals something official.

Meanwhile, CoroCoro Magazine reported that the remake version of the Pokemon game will feature Mega Metagross, which is a mega evolved Pokemon that is a dual Steel/Psychic type. This means that the Pokemon is a strong opponent and its owner will be Steven Stone.

Although Nintendo has not confirmed yet, the Pokemon game will be filled with mega evolutions that were first introduced in Pokemon X and Y. The magazine also reported that the Pokedex will also include Pikachu variations. Everyone is looking forward to the next issue of CoroCoro magazine on August 12 for a promised "Mega Evolution Scoop".

Previous reports stated that the Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby versions will be released on November 21, exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS console. The mega evolutions of some of the new characters may be launched in 2015. Moreover, the remakes of the games will be released alongside the successors of the Pokemon X and Y. Moreover, Typhlosion, Meganium and Feraligatr will get their mega evolution next year.

According to the official covers of the Pokemon video games, Primal Groudon will be the face of Pokemon Omega Ruby, while Pokemon Alpha Sapphire will show off Primal Kyogre. Both characters will have crucial roles in the games.
